DESCRIPTION: Black Sabbath- Paranoid LP.  With big swirl label, matt gate-fold sleeve with Big Bear Jim Simpson credits, swirl inner dated 0970 and 1Y//1 + 2Y//1  matrix. Postage cost includes insurance, tracking and a box/cruciform mailer.  Packed this weighs over 500gm so overseas postage is as for a double.  I only use Royal Mail.  LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Vertigo 6360 011: YEAR OF RELEASE: 1970. COUNTRY OF RELEASE:  UK:  CONDITION (VINYL/COVER):G+/VG. Vinyl is clean with a fair few hairlines and brushing lines. Played all of this a couple of times in recent weeks on my budget deck. Sits flat on the turntable.  Music is loud and prominent and plays through easily without jumps or sticks. On side 1  "War Pigs" and "Planet Caravan have a few soft ticks.  "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" play though clean, clean  and loud .  On side 2 the beginning of "Electric Funeral" has a repetitive tick though the music remains prominent.  "Hand Of Doom" has ticks in the quietest passages/verses until the music builds. "Rat Salad" and "Fairies Wear Boots" play through fine.  Matt cover retains good shape It is firm and square and has light edge wear, light corner wear and an area of moderate creasing to inside of gatefold. Good shape retained to fully legible spine. Swirl inner is in decent condition with light-ish wear, a couple of small tears to one side of centre hole and no edge-splits. Poly has become detached and is no longer present.  Clean labels- just check out the photos.  No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER SABBATH/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 30-40 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover, or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound has noticably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades. I REMOVE ALL VINYL FROM SLEEVES PRIOR TO POSTING. RECORDS ARE SENT IN BEST QUALITY MAILERS WITH 2 STIFFENERS. I ALWAYS COMBINE POSTAGE BUT COST DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON WEIGHT OF PACKAGE.
