This vinyl record is from my own collection, accumulated over the past 30+ years. All records were originally purchased by me and are being reluctantly sold to free up space.

The records have been stored upright in a closed cabinet since new. Many of the records have only been played once or twice when new, to transfer to audio cassette. I am not a dealer, but have graded the records under LED light as honestly as possible, using the standard system (below).

Title & description:      Black Sabbath – Paranoid (with gatefold sleeve)

Records are posted in 12” corrugated mailers. Obviously, I have no control over postal accidents, but please give me opportunity to resolve a problem, should it occur. Thank you.

GRADING CATEGORIES:

Mint The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
