PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
WILDLY RARE QUADRAPHONIC GATEFOLD PRESSING of this stoner rock monster on Billingsgate from 1973 with poly-lined printed inner sleeve featuring labelmates (and Krautrock legends) Guru Guru, Epitaph, Neu, Jane and Scorpions when they were a heavy prog-blues outfit in the early 1970s!!! I don't know which album scared me more shitless upon first listen, this one or Sabbath's debut. Nuff said. LP side 1 is VG+ with one light scuff and side 2 is a beautiful near mint minus. Cover is VG+/VG++ with a hint of wear at the top edge. A very nice copy of this legendarily heavy debut. If you dig stoner rock, you NEED this LP.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
