NEAR MINT- ! Black/white spiral label. No lifting or peeling and no mottling. Hardly any spider lines observed AND no other markings/damage to report save for a couple of finger prints .Beautiful examples of this rare vertigo 1st pressing !
Audio
No scratches or repetitive clicks/ticks. Sensational aural delivery. The bass guitar riffs and rock blasts resonate the deepest of tones .
Side1. Ex+ beautiful delivery. Static on last track during the fade out otherwise a remarkable audio with little to fault .
Side2. VG+/Ex Opening grooves, fade out, track 2 - static detected during the quieter parts but is heard at a distance and does little to affect the music presentation. Sensational !
Vinyl
Virtually Unmarked under ordinary light conditions and appears simply stunning in appearance! Awesome mirror like surfaces and only under a strong light and when you angle at 45 degrees ,can you pick up some longer hairlines which do not penetrate into the grooves. Some spindle marks on run off of one side and nothing significant.Super sheen to highly polished surfaces. Pleasure to view ! Near mint stunning visual under ordinary light!
A really superb example of this Sabbath collectable . Will stand proud in any serious collection..
