Description
BLACK SABBATH - BLACK SABBATH
IN SUPER CONDITION
WITH A BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT SLEEVE
- CATALOGUE:VERTIGO V06
- MATRIX: V06 1 Y //1 / 2 Y //2
A FANTASTIC SOUNDING ALBUM WITH A MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE. THIS IS A VERY EARLY PRESS OF THIS ICONIC ALBUM
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BLACK SPIRAL SIDE IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT, AND THE WHITE SIDE HAS REMAINED WHITE AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE. MY ESTIMATE IS THAT THE LP HAS HAD BETWEEN 10-15 PLAYS LIFETIME
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED MOST OF ITS SHEEN, WITH JUST A LITTLE DULLING TO SIDE 2. THERE ARE SOME VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING WHEN THE LP IS OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION.THERE ARE CERTAINLY NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS AND THE RECORD PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, AND ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE
THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THERE ARE SOME RANDOM LITTLE POPS HERE AND THERE, AND SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QIETEST OF PASSAGES, WHICH OF COURSE ON A SABBATH ALBUM, THERE AREN'T MANY, BUT TAKE A LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD WHICH IS VERY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION. MOST COPIES WILL BE VERY BADLY RUBBED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU WILL SEE A GREEN TINGE TO THE COLOURING ON THE SURFACE, AND MOST SLEEVE HAVE THIS BECAUSE ANY SHELF RUBBING WILL PRODUCE THIS UNWANTED EFFECT. THIS SLEEVE HOWEVER HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM THE DAY IT WAS SOLD, AND THUS IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, AND PERFECTLY CLEAN IN EVERY WAY. NO CREASES, NO CREASE LINES, NOT EVEN THE SMALL ONES YOU WOULD FIND NEAR THE SPINE. IT IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER WISH TO GET.
ANOTHER ISSUE THAT NORMALL AFFECTS THIS SLEEVE IS THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL THE COLOUR RUBBED AWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE EDGES THAT TAKE ALL OF THE SHELF WEAR. AGAIN AS THIS HAS BEEN HOUSED IN PLASTIC THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE WHATSOEVER. IT IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
THE SPINE IS DEAD FLAT AND ALL THE COLOUR IS THERE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE THE REST OF THE OUTER SURFACES.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE RECORD HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE AS FEW TIMES.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS THE ONLY BLEMISH TO THE ENTIRE PACKAGE. BECAUSE IT HAS SAT INSIDE THE PLATIC OUTER FROM NEW. IT HAS NOT BEEN OUT TO BE OPENED VERY OFTEN AND THIS SLEEVE HAD A HABIT OF COLOUR LOSS TO THE MATT BLACK SURFACE WHERE THE TWO SIDES STUCK TOGETHER. THIS ONE HAS EXPERIENCED THAT AS WELL, WITH A SOME SMALL DOTS OF WHITE SHOWING WHERE THE 2 SIDES WERE PULLED APART. A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR SUCH AN OTHERWISE BLEMISH FREE SLEEVE. THE REST OF THE MATT BLACK SURFACE IS REALLY CLEAN AND WEAR FREE.
THE SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AND HARDLY A CREASE LINE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
