    Early U.S. Warner Bros. Burbank "Palm Trees" label pressing.

    • Original embossed cover
    • Includes original Warner Bros. printed inner sleeve

    Features classic tracks including:

    • Sweet Leaf

Matrix Information

    Side A

    • BS-2562
    • 39929-1-3
    • Artisan Sound Recorders logo ("drumsticks" symbol)

Matrix Explanation

    • BS-2562 is the Warner Bros. catalog number.
    • 39929 is Warner's internal master number.
    • -1 indicates an early lacquer cut.
    • -3 identifies the metal part/stamper used from that lacquer.
    • The small stamped symbol is the Artisan Sound Recorders logo, indicating the lacquer was mastered at Artisan. Artisan-mastered Black Sabbath pressings are generally regarded as some of the best-sounding U.S. editions and are favored by collectors.

Rarity

    This is an early 1970s U.S. Burbank label repress, not the original green-label first pressing. It is desirable because it retains:

    • Embossed cover
    • Early Artisan mastering
    • Burbank "Palm Trees" labels
    • Original Warner Bros. inner sleeve
