Sound Quality
Excellent+ 
Stunningly clear and rich audio. A copy of Black Sabbath with audio this good is almost unattainable. It's very nearly flawless. There's some barely audible crackling but this is only evident in a very small number of periods of the album. If a better copy of this album exists, you will be looking a long time to find it.
Aesthetic Condition
We have provided multiple high resolution images which capture every aspect of the sleeve, liner and labels. This allows you, the bidder, to make your own judgement regarding the aesthetic condition of each component because grading it  is such a highly subjective matter. 
When coupled with the zoom feature, our high quality pictures display fine details of the item itself. This allows one to see precisely what is being auctioned.
Please check our recent feedback to see how satisfied our customers were with their purchases.
Cleaning Process

The vinyl itself has been cleaned using a four step process, including an active enzyme solution, ultra pure water and two high resolution rinses, which optimizes the audio quality. The cleaning process is done on a 'VPI 16.5' record cleaning machine. After the cleaning process the improvement with regards to the audio quality is astonishing.

The record is then put into an anti-static rice paper inner liner to ensure that no dust or dirt can reach the vinyl (the original liner is kept and sent within the packaging). The cover, original liner and the record itself are all packaged within a clear plastic outer casing.
