AUCTION COMES WITH THE COMPLETE VINYL RECORD IN VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION CONDITION.
THIS
IS A VERY RARE HOLY GRAIL PRESSING OF THEIR FIRST ALBUM. THEY ARE GETTING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN WITH A VALUE AROUND 2,000 USD FOR A PERFECT RECORD. GIVEN THIS RECORDS AGE (54 YEARS OLD) IT DOES COME WITH LIGHT SCRATCHES ON BOTH SIDES. ON SIDE 1, I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF A SMALL MARK THAT DOES CAUSE LIGHT POPS IN TRACT 1. OTHER THAN THAT, THE SOUND OF THE RECORD IS UNSCATHED BY THE SCRATCHES, YOU WILL BE PRETTY SURPRISED ON THE SOUND QUALITY GIVEN THE LIGHT SCRATCHES. I HAVE TESTED THIS RECORD WITH A DENON DP 3000NE RECORD PLAYER, MARANTZ SR8015 RECEIVER AND IPHONO3 RECORD AMP. I OWN TWO FIRST PRESSINGS AND I HAVE ENJOYED LISTENING TO THIS RECORD AND ITS QUALITY. THE RECORD LIES LOW AND FLAT AND PLAYS VERY CLEAR, MORE LOW AND END HIGH END POWER, WIDE SOUND STAGING THEN THE LATER RELEASES. I ALSO OWN MANY OF THE SUBSEQUENT UK, GERMAN, JAPANESE AND WWA EARLY PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM. IN MY OPINION, THE 1ST UK PRESS IS SUPERIOR IF YOU WANT POWER, DYNAMICS AND CLARITY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS, I AM A HUGE FAN OF BLACK SABBATH.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS VERY EXCELLENT RELEASE FOR A
COMPETITIVE
MARKET PRICE. THIS RECORD COMES FROM A CLEAN AND SMOKE FREE HOME.
