Black Sabbath Paranoid 1st press vinyl Large Swirl Big Bear credit + inner EX
Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Vertigo 1970
Highly sought after very first press with Big Bear Jim Simpson management credits inside the unlaminated gatefold. Large swirl on labels, 1Y1 2Y1 matrix codes.
Vinyl: A very well preserved vinyl showing evidence of only very light use. A very strong VG+ with some light marks but retaining a bright and vibrant appearance. The labels suggest only moderate use and the playback is very good with some background noise between tracks and during quiet moments but which is never intrusive. A really nice copy.
Sleeve: Again, a very solid VG+. Minor signs of storage/handling and a nice clear spine. Inside the gatefold is virtually pristine with no previous owner inscription or wear. Lovely.
Inner/insert: A very attractive and well preserved original Vertigo Swirl inner sleeve with 0470 date code. A fantastic addition.
Overall a super copy - hard to find in this condition.
