Black Sabbath – Born Again – Heavy Metal-Hard Rock Vinyl LP – Ian Gillan - OG

$

33

This was the eleventh album from the British heavy metal band, and their one and only with former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan on vocals.  The album was one of the band’s most commercially successful.  Like so much of the band’s music, the critics either loved it or hated it.  Personally, I think it’s a great album with outstanding power guitar and, of course, those incredible Gillan vocals. The album was released on Warner Brothers in 1983, number 23978-1.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few very light surface scratches and paper scuffs that barely impact play. It plays great with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a one inch scrape in the middle of the spine.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The custom inner sleeve with lyrics and credits is included and has tape on two seams and a tiny split on the third.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
