PARANOID by BLACK SABBATH
1970 , UK Ist Pressing of this iconic rock album , 6360 011
Good condition example of this landmark album, which has had little play time , there is very little spindle wear, the record lays nice and flat and only has a couple of small marks to the vinyl surface , its the edition which appears to have only 3 tracks on the B side , because track 3 ( Rat salad ) and track 4 ( Fairies Wear Boots ) melt into each other , it has the big swerl vertigo logo on the label , and carries the 6360 011 marking , the records run out carries the markings -
Side A/ 6360 011 , 1Y/1 - 420 Side B/ 6360 011 , 2Y/1- 420
The record plays through very well with no jumping ,theres the occasional crackle but i played it on a good quality turn table, and it sounds really good
The record sleeve is the Matt finish version, and is to my eye in pretty good condition , some light handling / corner wear , the interior does have a couple of areas ( along the top edge and a little on the bottom edge ) of staining, the interior info has the 6 line credits & the Management credit of Big Bear and Jim Simpson.
The record is housed in the Vertigo swerl linner,, which has some dis colouration to it, and a little seam tear wear to a couple of edges
I am not a professional record dealer , but i have tried to describe as well as possible , but have not used any grading system , as used by record dealers.
Please study the photos, as they pretty much tell the story, but if you have any questions please ask them before bidding.
