Note:
There is no break in between the tracks "Hand of Doom" and "Rat Salad" - i.e. looks as though there are only three tracks on the B side of the record when there are actually four (see pic).
Record visually appears to be in Good+ condition. 
Playback:
Side 1 is VG.  Noticeable crackle on 'War Pigs'.  Gentler crackle on 'Planet Caravan'.  'Paranoid' & 'Iron Man' sound great. 
Side 2 playback is Poor with popping and crackle throughout.  
Record plays straight through with no skipping. Still sounds sonically amazing.
Includes original inner.  LP will be housed in a new poly lined sleeve.
A quite respectable example of this high demand collectable.
VPI 16.5 professional cleaning.
