Artist: BLAC SABBATH

 

Title: SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH LP

 

Year: 1973

 

Label/code: WWA RECORDS WWA 005

 

Grading-Vinyl: EX,

Perhaps conservatively we have gone for an overall Audio Grading of EX, there are certanly no jumps or skips during playback, majority of Tracks play at EX+ rising to near Mint but during the quiet Track " Fluff" some background noise/crackling can be heard.

Other than that very sporadic background noise in places.

Visually Disc still retains a nice glossy sheen, there are one or two marks, certanly nothing major but worth pointing out, one is a light 1cm scratch covering start of Track one( does not jump) and an obvious hairline covering track 3  on B-Side

 

WWA Black with Silver writing centres are free from any rips or writing, light spindle wear with NO Damage to centre hole.

 

Grading-Sleeve/Inserts: VG,

Perhaps sleeve could be graded at EX- but we have conservativly gone for VG, There are NO Rips, splits, writing/pen marks  to sleeve, However as can be seen from pictures there is rubbing all around the outside of front sleeve, rear sleeve to match with some obvious discolouration and marks.All spines are great and Artist/Title etc on Title spine is all readable with only light wear.One prominent crease bottom left of front sleeve.

 

 Inside Gatefold is more EX to EX+ again light discolouration from age but no rips, tear's or writing.

Non Barcoded Original Gatefold Sleeve ( Graded as Above)

 

Overall: Graded Honestly as above( please see feedback as proof we don't overgrade), and therefore a decent playing copy, we are not saying it's Mint but its far far from being a wrecked copy.

Vinyl let down by sleeve which has obvious wear as mentioned above and hopefully can be seen on pictures but overall for a 1st Press original with decent Audio then this is certanly one to consider, sleeve can always be upgraded.
