This is a U.S. 1st press of Sabbath's self-titled debut with olive green WB labels.

Matrix numbers:

Side 1: WS-1871 39728-1 [artisan logo]
Side 2: WS-1871 39729-2 [artisan logo]

The vinyl is in solid very good plus (VG+) shape with just a few hairline marks. Labels are great. Comes with original Warner Bros. inner. The outer sleeve is graded very good (VG). Front and back covers are in very nice shape with very minimal ringwear, but there are a few issues with the seams (detailed in 3 photos). A couple of splits 1-2 inches long.

Please ask any questions before bidding.


I do combine shipping; see my other auctions. $4.99 media for the first LP and $1 for each LP thereafter. Double LP sets could as 2 LPs.

Very good plus (VG+)

VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.


Very good (VG)

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
