Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

1973 - israeli Vertigo WWA-005

The matrix 10 AA6366101 1Y 320 indicates that the vinyl was pressed in Germany. '6366101' being the german release number and '320' being the country code where it was pressed. Shipped to Israel, where 'Litratone Haifa' stuck the labels on and printed the cover. Why Litratone used the the UK WWA-005 numbering is a mystery to me.

record: VG+

Not perfect, but still very strong. Under the right light some hairlines and quite a lot microscopic sleeve traces visible. There is distinct 'tiger pattern' at one spot, a storage mark from its original (and frankly idiotic) plastic inner sleeve.
Plays solid, some noise between the tracks. Very occasionaly there is a feel of background noise, barely audible.

cover : VG

Relatively thin, and delicate cardboard. Ringwear and abrasions well visible on the matt front. Creases and a small (3mm) tear at the opening. Some faint brownish spots on back at the bottom of the spine.

This issue does not come up for sale very often. Pretty rare.

item location is Switzerland - shipping is not $4.00

do not use automated checkout - please wait for adjusted invoice

Unfortunately eBay does not forsee international sellers listing directly on their site. The automated system uses a predetermined maximum shipping cost of $4.00 which is not correct. It is not possible to post a 12'' record from Europe to the US - or anywhere else - for that price.

Unless sealed, all records are removed from the cover to prevent seam splitting and stored in a separate inner sleeve. The original inner will be included if available. All is placed in a protective plastic sleeve and carefully packaged in a clean, quality box.

Once your package is handed over to the post office, I no longer have control over it. I can't be held responsible for any damage during transit, I can't ensure that your local postman will smile cheerfully when the package is delivered to you. Shipping to certain countries can take a long time (up to 4 weeks). Please be patient.

Please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

In case you're not happy with your purchase contact me immediately after receiving the item, and post the item back within 14 days. Refund (through Paypal) is offered when the exact same record, in the same condition it left me, is safely returned. Sealed records must be returned sealed. The buyer pays for the return postage.
