BLACK SABBATH    
 TECHNICAL ECSTASY
HERE IS A SABBATH ALBUM I DID NOT KNOW I EVEN HAD, AS IT WAS HIDDEN AWAY WITH SOME OTHER LP'S, WHICH I WAS SORTING THROUGH. THIS IS THEIR 7th ALBUM RELEASED ON 25 SEPTEMBER 1976, AND COMES FULLY COMPLETE WITH INSERT.

BLACK SABBATH, WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND IN 1968, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY !!!!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHUIP AS USUAL . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE . 
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1976 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  9102 750 1Y//5  1B  ::  9102 750 2Y//6  1B . 
ON THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABEL :: 9102 750 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY ROBERT STACE, WITH SOLID SOINE AND EDGES WITH A RUB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPINE, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL LIGHT STAIN MARK, TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE FRONT, AND TOP RIGHT ON THE BACK. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND THREE LONG SURFACE CREASE LINES ACROSS THE BACK IN THE MIDDLE SEEN WHEN THE COVER IS AGLED A CERTAIN WAY, AND THEY ARE NOT ON THE FRONT. THERE IS SOME LIGHT AGEING AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/VG+ .  I WOULD SAY NEARER TO VG, RATHER THAN VG+ !!!! 

VINYL :: PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND NO POPS, CLICKS OR CRACKLE, AND SIDE 2 PLAYS FANTASTIC, BUT SIDE 1 HAS SOME FAINT TICKS SO I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW >>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS TWO FAINT TICKS ON THE RUN IN, AND FIVE FAINT TICKS . 

TRACK 2 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START AND FIVE MORE A BIT FUTHER IN .

TRACK 3 :: HAS FIVE FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END, AND FOUR FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOK VERY NICE, ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF COSMETIC RASH LOOKING MARKS, LIKE THEY ARE OFF THE POLYLINED INNER.

SO A BIT OF A TOUGH ONE TO AUDIO GRADE, SO BEST I THINK TO SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE >>>>>>>> 

THE FIRST 3 TRACKS ON SIDE 1, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG/VG+ .

TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1, AND ALL THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

SO A BIT OF A STRANGE ONE, BUT STILL ENJOYABLE, AND IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION THEN YOU WILL BE PLEASED WHEN YOU PLAY THE VINYL !!!!

LABELS   ::  NO ISSUES, JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES, SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INSERT   ::  AGAIN NO ISSUES, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING, AND SOME LIGHT SURFACE CREASING  :: VG+/EX- .    

POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, AGAIN SOME LIGHT AGEING, AND FOUR SPOT STAINS ON THE FRONT . THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLY LINED INNER WITH THE ONE ABOVE  :: VG .

GREAT ALBUM, AND THE AUDIO PLAYS WELL WITH THOSE FAINT TICKS ON THE FIRST THREE TRACKS. COMES COMPLETE WITH INSERT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!  ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !  

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
