6360 050 Matrix 1Y//1   

                             2Y//1   

Vertigo Swirl very 1st UK pressing! 

 

A stunning, original ,1971 first issue release.

 

Earliest, laminated, boxed sleeve in sensational condition  and included the most impressive full colour ,  rare poster of this magnificent rock group of the seventies !Poster has NEVER been hung on a wall  .  This massively scarce poster was ONLY issued with a handful of first pressings ,so massively rare and IMPOSSIBLE to locate !!No creasing and folds are crisp and clean.  Looks fresh  and feels factory new. A very scarce exhibit indeed. One to treasure. MINT- condition.

 

The vinyl is visually stunning with highly polished, glass like surfaces , very similar to mint vinyl . Virtually unmarked under ordinary light . Under a stronger halogen light, and a closer examination, one will detect a couple of sleeve removal marks/hairlines perhaps, where inner bag has brushed the vinyl surface. Nr MINT visual to the voyeur and a pleasure to view . I doubt whether one will come across a better visual exhibit .Would be very difficult to match . Beautiful exhibit .

 

Audio

 RAW hard rock sound . The clear channels from this vinyl are so rare to locate and convey an exceptional delivery.Vibrant deep bass riffs. Phenomenal audio. Nothing much to fault at all . Aural delivery is virtually as good as it gets and do remember that dust will still be lifting from the grooves as it has been lying dormant for many years. Even further improvement possible on this near mint example!!!!!  TOP audio!

 

The first issue , fully laminated, boxed sleeve is in excellent  condition. Lamination reflects a glossy sheen . Top and lower folds of box are normally found ripped or damaged in some way but these are crisp with little to fault. Beautiful boxed variant and a pleasure to view. The lamination is almost perfect on reverse face ,with hardly any laminate lifts which is truly remarkable as the majority are found lifting and peeling. The laminate is only slightly lifting toward the left spinal edge on front face with minor creasing  .   No rips, nor tears !An excellent example of the  “boxed sleeve” variant and in remarkable condition  .One of the better examples.

 

Vertigo swirl label format indicating the very first issue of this sensational Sabbath release . Only able to detect two spindle traces  ,a phenomenal exhibit indeed ,with no mottling, no rips, nor tears. No spindle wear at all. No discoloration on the magnificent large swirl label and are superb examples of this very famous label format. Mint- examples ! Appears to have been very lightly played indeed .

 

Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is a genuine original with inverted black/white inner sleeve and flip backs on reverse. Excellent+ condition . No seam splits just a slight ageing discoloration toward outer edges. The original date of release, June 1971, is machine stamped on lower right edge. Phenomenal collectors’ item on offer here!

 

Of True investment quality.

 

A remarkable example of this Sabbath classic ,boasting one of the most highly sought after coloured posters of the seventies era, becoming very difficult to track down, normally found missing and so hard to locate these days. Original first swirl inner bag with a stunning, highly polished vinyl, with a raw original sound, making this album presentation an absolute “MUST HAVE” for the serious collector .
