Description
For sale is my private collection some famous Classic Rock/Folk music
Artist & Title: Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath"
Record Label: Vertigo, Big Swirl Label
Year:1970, UK Original First Press, Gatefold
Catalogue Number: VO 6 (847 903 VTY)
Matrix Numbers: Earliest stamped matrix numbers
- Matrix / Runout (A stamped): VO 6 1/1
- Matrix / Runout (B stamped): VO 6 2/1
Overall Grade: Sleeve-Fair+(There are torn with cover sleeve perhaps due to removing sticker, and original Swirl inner has tear and was tapped back)
Vinyl-Fair+(there are obvious marks on records, ticks and surface noise during play but it still plays very well. The quality of the recording is still very much top notch and has to be heard to understand why the first press is still the best )
IT IS ALSO INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT OZZY OSBOURNE WAS THEN KNOWN AS "OSSIE".
I think most record sellers agree that the postage charge set by ebay is nothing like the reality of the postal service. No sellers will be likely to make money out of the postal charge as I wouldn't like to be. As such I will charge according to the weight and the value of the record at the end of the auction. Obviously it depends on the location as well.
Please also note I will not send any item by any other means other than Signed for, or International signed for. With NO exceptions.
If an item is won over £50 I will also not send this without insurance, again no exceptions.
May I stress that buyers from other countries have their own unique grading system. There is no question that over the years in collecting records I could say that all records will exhibit a certain degree of surface and occasional cracking noise. This could even be appearing on sealed new records. WE just have to accept the fact that this is part of the experience of collecting vinyl. If one prefers to have clinically dead sound may I suggest that one should go for digital sources. Having minor surface noise could argue what makes it so delightful and wonderful opportunity in playing vinyl.
It appears to me that most Far East buyers are extremely critical and demanding in the condition of the records. As a result, I would strictly base my records on the UK RRPG grading system which is an universal accepted grading system for all records. I would also provide more details if it is not shown on the system. If you do need more information please feel free to ask before committing biding as I have decided that there will be no return policy in the dispute of vinyl condition unless the item is damaged by post and insurance cost paid for. This policy is strictly applied so please be aware.
Collecting vinyl is my hobby and playing music is my passion. I am not trying to hard sell any records here because I don't have to as they are mostly my second or third copy. However I am not a professional record dealer but one who likes to share the music I love.
