Description
This is a cracking rarity– a 1st pressing of ‘Paranoid’; a lovely copy with the sought after ‘management credits’, a ‘large swirl’ variant and with a matte gatefold.
The sleeve is a conservative VG, as while the (original!) owner didn’t keep it plastic sleeved, he did decant the disc into a replacement inner; which has avoided the dreaded ‘vertigo swirl’ effect that their lined inners can produce on the vinyl – the inner is discoloured.
Being a matte sleeve it’s got a few impression marks (one on the opening edge, some smaller rear ones) and general face and edge wear, with a nice clean inner gatefold.
The disc has clean labels and vinyl-wise is generally visibly VG, with lots of general play marks and sleeve removal scuffs; and would play VG+ but for one scratch across the back end of A and the beginning of B, that is just about feelable and does produce quiet pops throughout; otherwise having played through side A the disc generally has some very quiet crackle in the near silent bits, but otherwise is a very enjoyable listen – bear in mind this is a notoriously ‘quiet cut’ album and requires some cranking up more than most, which is why these sounds are often noticeable on it.

GRADING SYSTEM:
1. NM: Record/sleeve will be near-perfect or have maybe very minor scuff/s from being handled a few times or from the inner sleeve (potentially played once or twice).
2. EX: Record will have some minor scuffs and possible more noticeable marks preventing a NM grading; a record that was played very little and has been taken care of.
3. VG Plus: Record will have noticeable scuffs and light scratches from being handled and played, but nothing too deep as to affect playback. May have light background noise in quieter areas but still no major issues; a record that has been played and enjoyed but not abused.
4. VG: Record will have scuffs and scratches from being handled and played, causing noticeable background noise and some disturbances/pops but still enjoyable overall; still a good quality record that can be enjoyed with life left.
5. GOOD / FAIR / POOR: Record will have scuffs and major scratches. Can still be played but will have background noise and most likely major distractions such as sustained pops or skips. Records with this grade are used for rare albums or ones that would be best used only for display.
