BLACK SABBATH: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath RARE and very hard to find Original 1973 UK transitional 2nd issue 8-track LP on the black & silver label with silver 'WWA' label logo, housed in the first press matt gatefold sleeve with the inside image going all the way to the outer edges without a border. The sleeve states manufactured and printed in England with no reference to 'Howards Printers', complete with original textured lyric inner, again indicating a first press. WWA005 ARCHIVE quality vinyl.

PLAY GRADED: 

Equipment used to test this LP was my Townsend Rock II turntable positioned on a Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform, with a Linn Ittok modified arm and Audio Technica VM95ML Shibata modified cartridge feeding through a Trilogy 906 phono stage positioned on a Seismic Sink. Amplification is a Lavardin IS amp positioned on a Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform. Speakers are Impluse H6's positioned on Seismic Isolation Bars.

The LP played through with just very light minimal surface noise to both lead-in tracks and in-between tracks, no loud pops were heard while the entire LP was playing, there were no skips, jumps or any other horrible defects. The noise floor overall when listening was non existent when all tracks had played. The LP revealed no distortion and had clarity and depth with crystal sound quality. The sound was clean with good stereo separation. If I was marking this out of 10 for sound quality alone I would easily give this LP a 9.8 out of 10. Awesome near perfect sound quality for an LP being 50 years old.

Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. Please remember that this is an Original 50 year old LP.
I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound and performance of any LP/single being played. 

THE COVER: The matt gatefold cover shows minimal light wear to the top and bottom edges plus spine. All corners have just very light wear visible. The spine remains intact with light creasing and the text remains clear bold and readable. The covers surface has light storage scuffing. There are no signs of any other forms of damage, I have graded the cover in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back cover remains as the front. There is only very light storage surface scuffing. The surface is clean with no other signs of any damage are visible. I have graded the back cover again in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: Lyric inner has been graded in EXCELLENT condition. There is visible creasing due to being stored within the LP otherwise there are no other signs of damage

THE VINYL: Both sides of this vinyl LP still retains all of its original lustre and sheen with no dulling and in daylight looks awesome. Placed under a 100w bulb there are no deep scratches which can be seen or felt to either side of this LP. There are minor hairline marks to both sides when held under a strong light. I have graded this vinyl in EXCELLENT++ condition. Plays closer to being NEAR MINT. A superb piece of vinyl music.

Side 1 in EXCELLENT condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT condition.

THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT condition with VERY LIGHT spindle marks. There is no wear around the central spindle hole. 

THE MATRIX NUMBERS: 

SIDE 1 WWA005 1//2  4200 113 SIDE 2 WWA005 2//2  4200 114
