Description
Black Sabbath. Master Of Reality. UK swirl original W/original poster. ".... VERTIGO....6360 050 ... MISPRESS . " SWEET LIFE " on rear cover , and DARK PINK front lettering. Very rare . Legendary Sabbath collectors item. This briefly appeared around late 1972 as a swirl and some of the covers also appeared on the very brief run on the spaceship label before the switch to WWA in 1973. Beautiful condition all round . Gimmick box cover is one of the best I've seen at this late date. Nice clean edges and absolutely NO blistering whatsoever..... incredible !.. these laminated box covers are invariably blistered at the sides but this one is absolutely beautiful . See photos . ( most are heavily blistered now ). Strong EXCELLENT. Original swirl inner bag VG PLUS. . ORIGINAL six panel poster ( beware of reprints ) is very nice also . No pinholes or tape residue . Some white lines on front folds caused by time . VG PLUS. Disc is absolutely gorgeous . Lies flat and true on the platter. Playing surfaces gleam . Only one or two very fine hairlines seen only under severe grading spotlight. Wonderful audio as well. Easily the finest sounding pressing of this doom metal landmark album. Labels are pristine also . Very strong EXCELLENT to EXCELLENT PLUS. I've included a photo of the dark pink lettering against the conventional purple lettering to show the clear difference . I don't think pink suited Black Sabbath at all ! Dealer and collector since 1974 so bid and buy with complete peace of mind. All pictures are actual item for sale. Worldwide customers welcome. Gradings are as per UK Record Collector Book grading system definitions. Any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you. Gordon.
