BLACK SABBATH ''BLACK SABBATH'' THIS IS THEIR 1ST UK DEBUT ALBUM 1970! ON THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO SWIRL LABELS CAT NO. VO6.!!!!! THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WITH BLACK ON THE INSIDE AND THE LYRICS IN THE CROSS ALSO WITH THE RAREST MISSPELLING OF OSSIE'S NAME!!!! ''OSBORNE''! AWESOME NEAR MINT AUDIO ! UNBELEIVABLE FOR 38 YEARS OLD!!!!
Another from my personal collection. An absolutely stunning sounding original Vertigo copy! This would be an early 2nd issue pressing #1 #2 matrix endings. The vinyl looks and plays like it has barely been played at all in my opinion,cwertainly just minimal play only! Cristal clear and vibrant audio throughout without any distortion or nasty crackle throughout in fact I only heard one minor pop throughout this awesome vinyl!,, graded as near mint both sides in my opinion!! (very rare and scarce to find like this indeed!! This is complete with the original Vertigo record sleeve and early issue original Vertigo gatefold which is strong and very straight with light general rubbing ware only!

The labels.
The original labels are awesome condition features the swirl on side a. and the swirl logo and track listings on side b.(only early press)!!!!! All rights.... are featured around the label rim(only early press)!!!!!!! very minimal amount of spidering can be seen in strong light and hardly any spindle ware which indicates that this has not been overplayed very (very) rare for an album that is 38 years old!!!!!
The vinyl.
The vinyl is absolutely superbe on initial visual inspection this looks absolutely awesome! and still retains its sheen from new!!!!!! (please note this vinyl has (not) been over played at all !!!! nor are there any signs of grooveware or distortion!!!! i have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top system!, and the audio quality is superbe cristal clear and extreemely vibrant!!THIS WILL BE HARD TO FIND BETTER!! Visually there are very (very) few surface marks\scuffs infact i can barely see two or three (no)scratches when held in very strong light(no) needle scratches audio sounding at least i couldn't see any even in extreeme light, at least (none) that effect the audio at all, any other marks possibly seen would be sleeve removal only and not audio sounding that I heard at all!!! I have played this track through a couple of times and i never heard any problems.The audio on this pressing in my opinion is almost as good as it gets for a very early pressing in fact I only heard one pop throughout the whole record (no) distortion (no) grooveware and ertainly no skips or jumps!,,Even in between tracks there is extreemely minimal noise!!! This almost plays as new!!! I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THERE WAS NO MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT I HEARD WHAT SO EVER ABSOLUTELY STUNNING SEPERATION TOP TOP VERY NEAR MINT AUDIO I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl and the 1st by this awesome band ''black sabbath''!!!!!!!! Please check my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right!!!
Please note! That i always make this disclaimer! please allow for the odd static crackle\tick certainly not consistant throughout the audio,Please remember this is a genuine 37 year old vinyl that would have been played on a 37 year old system!!!!!The cover.
This is the original gatefold (non) laminated cover with black on the inside opening (only early 1st press later were white) which also has the lyric and track contents in the cross!!!! Please note!! the misspelling of ''Ossie Osbourne''!!! ''Osborne'' very rare (only early press) This is strong and straight with light rubbing at the edges only and minor superficial bumping ware to the corners with age and spine (see photo) Amaizingly no real creases at all that i can see worth to mention !!!!!!!
