Description

Black Sabbath - 'Never Say Die!'  

Vertigo - 9102 751 - UK 1st Press 1978

Vinyl/Sleeve: VG+/EX

Matrix: (a) 9102751 1Y//2 STR   STRAWBERRY  

             (b) 9102751 2Y//2 STR   STRAWBERRY


Vinyl: Very Good +  

This record has been machine cleaned and play checked by myself. Playback is excellent with some underlying tics in track one and a click heard in track two, but the rest of the side is great. Side two also has some underlying tics in track one and a click hear in the interval between track two and three but otherwise there are no issues. The playing surface has no obvious marks or scratches although there's a couple of superficial short marks on side two. 

           

Sleeve: Excellent  

The laminated sleeve is in nice condition with a little edge wear along the bottom and a 2mm tear on the front opening. The printed inner sleeve has signs of handling but has no seam splits.    

 

Side One:  Never Say Die / Johnny Blade / Junior's Eyes / Hard Road   

Side Two:  Shock Wave / Air Dance / Over To You / Breakout / Swinging The Chain           

              

Combined postage offered to UK destinations ONLY. I'll send an invoice if you've bought more than one record.


NON-UK shipping - NO COMBINED POSTAGE - International shipping is with eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP) and combined postage is not available. It may appear expensive, and delivery may take a few extra days, but I'm sorry, it's the only international shipping option I offer.


A few words on Vinyl Grades.........

My vinyl grades are pretty much in line with those commonly used here on eBay and other specialist vinyl sites. The descriptions I provide are of equal significance as they will include any details I would consider useful to know when deciding whether to purchase a vinyl record. I normally examine a record’s playing surface in more than one daylight condition, this is because the lighting at different times of day tend to reveal details that might not be noticeable at other times of day. For example, bright angled morning light shining through a window will reveal a multitude of fine lines and dust that are often superficial, and these can distract from significant surface imperfections which might be more noticeable later in the day. Sleeve grades shouldn't really require an explanation, needless to say, the photos and descriptions should speak for themselves.    

 

Mint (M) : Never played, and the only way you can be fairly confident that it hasn’t been played, is if the record is still sealed (and that’s not foolproof).

 

Near Mint (NM) : A record that shows hardly any evidence of being played – both in appearance and sound quality.

 

Excellent (EX) : A record that may have minor surface marks and/or minimal surface noise or tics.

 

Very Good + (VG+) : The record will be close to excellent but may have some distinct marks or hairlines that may even be feelable - but not to excess. Sound quality may be slightly impaired with light surface noise/crackle or tics.

 

Very Good (VG) : The record will have several marks or scratches, and/or sound quality that isn’t that great


Good+ (G+) : This will be a record that has many surface marks or scratches and poor sound quality. I wouldn’t normally sell anything that would grade below this (ie ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’). Anything below this grade would probably have skips and I rarely sell records that have skips.
