Black Sabbath  'Paranoid' UK - 2001 - Castle Music 180 Gram
Matrix Side 1) CMHLP 117A' DAMONT G Side 2) CMHLP 117B' DAMONT 5
Vinyl Play Back: NM- Audio Play Grade: 9+/10 Plays with minimal to no surface noise and a few odd occasional tics. 'Planet Caravan', an extremely quiet track, plays absolutely beautifully. This record has been diligently play-graded from start to finish, on both sides.
Vinyl Visual: NM- No lines or scratches of consequence worth noting. Almost NM.
Labels: NM- Perfectly clean. I see one spindle line on each side. These were not generated when I play-tested the record, so it appears to have been played at least one time prior.
Cover: NM- The full gloss gatefold is gorgeous. Appears 'as new' with no fingerprints or blemishes of concern seen. There is a small gentle crease at the lower right corner, and in the open gatefold, a crease runs vertically along the track numbers listed in red. It does not impact the cover's exterior. Neither of these are egregious.  The spine is straight, with its edges still squared, and the text is perfectly legible. Has the round B&W Sabbath flying demon hype sticker.
Original White Inner: NM
Original Clear Outer Sleeve: NM-
This release has become difficult to find in quality condition.
INV: 202

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
