Black Sabbath

'Vol 4'

Vertigo, UK, 1972

6360 071

AS THE title implies, this is the fourth Sabbath studio album recorded not in the UK like the previous three but in Los Angeles. The material is slightly more diverse, easing off the heaviousity gass pedal a tad in favour of more texture. But that's not to say that they wimped out. Tracks such as 'Wheels Of Confusion', 'Supernaut', 'Snowblind' and 'Cornucopia' all pay a healthy disrespect for restraint and subtlety. A truly great album.

Original Vertigo pressing, matt finish gate fold cover and four page booklet glued into the center opening of the gatefold sleeve.

Comes complete with the original swirl inner sleeve

Pressing: Vertigo, UK, 1972 - Swirl label

Vinyl: Nice clean and shiny condition with very little signs of any use. One tiny non sounding scuff. Grades as a very, very strong Ex+.

Cover: Again, virtually no signs of use. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover with stapled 4 page insert. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Displays some ultra minor storage wear but nothing horrendous. Spine is stiff, square and uncrushed. Beautiful and impossible to find like this 51 years after release. Grades as a strong Ex+.

Inserts: None
