Description
No messing, everyone knows how rare this is.
This is a GENUINE copy of the ultra-rare Sabbath and Quo rarity - one of the rarest records in existence. Only 100 copies were ever made, very few have survived.
It's been bootlegged onto different coloured vinyls but this one is GUARANTEED GENUINE. It's the original black vinyl with the raised "teeth" around the label and I bought it personally many years ago from an ex-Phonogram employee who had owned it since being given it in 1972.
It isn't mint, it's obviously been played a good few times. I've just played it again to test it and it played through both sides cleanly with no jumps. There's a little click on the outro to the Sabbath side and a little surface noise in the quieter parts on both sides. There's also a small area of damage to the label on the Sabbath side - see the scan. The Quo side label is lovely and clean. There are a few light surface marks but nothing that sends the needle off course. I'd say it's a VG-, but when are you ever going to find a genuine mint copy? It's 45 years old. The only mint ones are the bootlegs.
This is as rare as it gets, and keenly sought-after by collectors of two of the most legendary and collectable bands in history. It's worth a few hundred but this auction starts at a quid with no reserve, que sera sera! Don't miss out!
