 Artist: BLACK SABBATH

Title: VOL 4 ( VOLUME 4) LP

Year: 1972/1973

Label/code: WWA RECORDS WWA009

Grading-Vinyl: EX,  Visualy happy to grade at Near Mint, glossy, bright and only one or two very slight marks.

Audio Downgraded to EX to avoid disappointment, slight background noise on playback, nothing terrible but in quiter parts light crackles can be heard, more obvious in the song 'Changes' and 'Laguna Sunrise' , critcally graded and there is alot right with the Audio, certanly not a bad copy and playback is smooth with no jumps, skips or Audio dropouts etc. 

WWA Black with Silver Writing Vinyl Centres are free from writing and rips, spindle kept to a minimum

Grading-Sleeve/Inserts: EX+, Super condition , no rips, splits, writing or damage to the gatefold sleeve, downgraded only from Near Mint due to one small crease by the 'O' of Vol 4 on main sleeve, minimal , both top and bottom corners on Title Spine show slight wear from storage , light creasing aroung this thick spine. nothing bad and rest assured this is a looked after EX+ sleeve.

Further Info: This is the first WWA Release that does not reference Vertigo on cover no added stickers to sleeve, sleeve has both WWA & WWA009 DE LUXE imprinted onto the sleeve, Title Spine displays the full title of 'Volume 4' with sleeve colour being 'Ozzy' in 'Orange' with the white writing which is reversed on back sleeve.

Inside gatefold is no worse than Near Mint, full colour , no staining, writing or rips etc, displays tracks with timings and the " Great Coke-cola Los Angeles" Thanks text.

Booklet is amazing for age and is certanly Near Mint possibly Mint, still held tight to sleeve ,no damage once again coupled with bold , vibrant colour.

Matrix of A-Side : 1Y//2 420 14

B-Side 2Y//2 420 17

**In addition and curiously original vertigo matrix of 6360071 has been mispressed in the runout groove and has a light line placed through it**

Overall: For age certanly one of the better sleeve copies out there, yes it does have the minor marks as mentioned above but this does not detract from overall condition, Vinyl whilst looking great does have the light crackles on playback which is perhaps to be expected, we do not over grade and think EX for Audio is about right.
