Description
Hi there, presented here is a rare very first UK pressing of the 1st Black Sabbath LP. Vertigo records, large swirl. Also has the swirl to the top of the label and the word "Vertigo" to the lower part of the label. 1/1 stampers. Group credits in capital letters on sleeve and no publishing credits. These attributes changed very soon after the first run!!
The Sleeve:- VG. All 4 panels of the sleeve look great, with only a couple of small stickers to the rear sleeve detracting. Fair amount of edge wear, spin is pretty worn and has a split of around 1 inch. Most edgewear doesn't spill on to the facing covers.
The Labels:- EX. The all important 1st press labels are in lovely condition. Very clear print and spindle wear only visible when tilted.
The LP:- G. Pretty good all over, has several light to moderate marks, including one deeper mark. This is approx 2 inches long, and I would think this would be audible on most players. Possibly a professional clean could lessen this slightly.
Plain inner.
My LP's are sent in professional mailers with two stiffeners. The LP, still in it's inner sleeve, is removed from the outer sleeve and placed next to it. This is to avoid edge cuts in transit. My postage AND packing costs work out at a slight loss.
Overseas post is £12, International signed for. North Americas, £14.
Thanks for looking, always appreciated and never taken for granted.
