Nice clean copy of Sabbath's still-extraordinary debut album. This has the large swirl but no Philips credit. It has the 'Dunbar' credit on the cross on the inner gatefold. Although a second pressing, matrices are still 1Y-1/2Y-1. The original swirl bag is missing and has been replaced with a lovely brand new reproduction.

Sleeve - VG Non-laminated gatefold. Some tear marks on the reverse and some tiny writing on the front. Light handling marks and scuffing elsewhere. The lettering on the spine has faded. In good shape overall.

Labels – VG+ Very clean with moderate spindlewear.

Inner sleeve - Brand new polylined swirl bag.

Record – Visually VG. Lots of light hairlines but no deep or feelable scratches. Playback is VG+, clear and sharp audio but light crackle throughout, mainly heard in the quieter passges.

I grade all records strictly using the 'Record Collector' guide.
