Vertigo Swirl very 1st UK pressing!
A stunning original 1971 first issue release.
Earliest laminated boxed sleeve in remarkable condition and included the most impressive full colour , rare poster of this magnificent rock group of the seventies !Poster has been hung on a wall by the keenest of followers . Some blu tac residue in each corner. This massively scarce poster was ONLY issued with a handful of first pressings ,so massively rare and IMPOSSIBLE to locate !!Not much creasing and folds are crisp and clean. The fragile, thin paper manufacture has made the sides and corners curl over the years so does not lie flat. One tape mark hardly visible on one edge. Looks fresh and feels factory new. A very scarce exhibit indeed. One to treasure.
The vinyl is visually stunning with highly polished, glass like surfaces , very similar to mint vinyl . Virtually unmarked under ordinary light . Under a stronger halogen light, and a closer examination, one will detect a couple of sleeve removal marks/hairlines, where inner bag has brushed the vinyl surface. Nothing intrusive to the voyeur and a pleasure to view . I doubt whether one will come across a better visual exhibit .Would be very difficult to match . Mint- visual against ordinary light .
Audio
RAW hard rock sound . Vibrant deep bass riffs. Phenomenal delivery. Nothing much to fault . Aural delivery is virtually as good as it gets and do remember that dust will still be lifting from the grooves ,as it has been lying dormant for many years. Even further improvement possible on this near mint example!!!!! TOP audio!
The first issue , fully laminated boxed sleeve is in excellent- condition. Lamination reflects a glossy sheen . Top and lower folds of box are normally found ripped or damaged in some way but these are crisp with little to fault. Beautiful boxed variant and a pleasure to view. The lamination is almost perfect on reverse face ,with hardly any laminate lifts which is truly remarkable as the majority are found lifting and peeling. The laminate is only lifting toward the spinal edge on front face, and along one lateral edge of rear face. There is also a laminate split ,extending across 10 cm along lower edge ,but is hidden from view unless tilted. No rips, nor tears !There is an inobtrusive three digit numeric, hand written, on top right corner of front face also .An excellent- example of the “boxed sleeve” variant and in remarkable condition .
Vertigo swirl label format indicating the very first issue of this sensational Sabbath release . Not able to detect any spindle traces ,a phenomenal exhibit indeed ,with no mottling, rips nor tears. No spindle wear at all. No discoloration on the magnificent large swirl label and are superb examples of this very famous label format. Mint- examples ! Appears to have been very lightly played indeed .
Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is a genuine original with inverted black/white inner sleeve and flip backs on reverse. Excellent condition . No seam splits just a slight ageing discoloration only.
Of True investment quality.
A remarkable example of this Sabbath classic ,boasting one of the most highly sought after coloured posters of the seventies era, becoming very difficult to track down, normally found missing and so hard to locate these days. Original first swirl inner bag with a stunning, highly polished vinyl, with a raw original sound, making this album presentation an absolute “MUST HAVE” for the serious collector .
