BLACK SABBATH BORN AGAIN SCARCE 1983 JAPANESE PRESSING + LYRIC SHEET.  Condition is "Used".  Excellent scarce copy of BLACK SABBATHS BORN AGAIN album from 1983 pressed in Japan in an EXCELLENT condition. ... simply a beautiful  listening copy...though admittedly not their finest moment. On paper Ian Gillan and Black Sabbath seemed a perfect match...but were you at Reading '83 with the Stonehenge set .....and that rendition of Smoke on the Water ? yup ! This Japanese pressing and release is an early press and early off the stamper, complete with Japanese language insert and English lyric sheet !!! Some early Japanese pressings are as beefy as their US/Euro counterpart pressings and this album is exceptional in sound quality and with this pressing there is a crystal clarity on the higher end notes. ...The sleeve ( typical Japanese sleeve which is hardier than the flimsier US/UK/ Euro sleeves ) is very good + with all corners tight and the vinyl itself plays beautifully ( only played once ) with 1 to 2 low level clicks throughout ,  the production for import vinyl of that decade is superb.  Highly likely that this is virgin vinyl as most Japanese records were pressed using high quality “virgin” vinyl that was manufactured exclusively for pressing records. These records are often extraordinarily quiet and have little or no surface noise, allowing the listener a better listening experience. In addition, English-language music titles were usually pressed in fairly small quantities in Japan, meaning all of the discs were likely pressed while the stampers were still fairly new........so  a very, very collectable and excellent COPY.....stored in vinyl sleeve only removed for photograph
