BLACK SABBATH      MASTER      OF     REALITY   

SUPERB AUDIO FOR THIS SABBATH VERTIGO LARGE SWIRL CLASSIC !!!!
ABOUT TIME WE HAD SOME BLACK SABBATH, WHO WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND IN 1968, AND THIS THEIR 3rd ALBUM,  RELEASED ON 21st JULY 1971, AND IT IS ANOTHER SABBATH MASTERPIECE, PLAYS REALLY WELL, AND ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, AND COMES ROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
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 1971 UK PRESS  ::  1Y//2 V 420  1 14  ::  2Y//1 V 420  1 2 21 . 
ON THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 050  .

COVER :: ORIGINAL BOX COVER 1ST PRESS WITH EMBOSSED LETTERS ON THE FRONT, AND TOP AND BOTTOM OPENING FLAPS. LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS. THE TOP OPENING FLAP HAS A SMALL TEAR WHICH HAS BEEN NEATLY REPAIRED. VERY NICE LAMINATE, WITH A BIT OF LAMINATE LIFT JUST DOWN THE SPINE SIDE EDGE ON THE FRONT, AND SOME SMALL LAMIATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE BOX HAS A THICK CARDBOARD INSERT TO STOP THE COVER FROM BEING FLATTENED, LIKE MOST ARE, SO A VERY NICE SOLID CLEAN ORIGINAL, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- . 

VINYL :: PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND NO POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, BUT THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT AND FAINT TICKS WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW >>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AND TWO LIGHT TICKS AFTER THE START AND TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE END .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE FAINT TICKS AT THE START, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE END .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOK VERY NICE, BUT WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WITH A SMALL VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1, ON SIDE 1, WHICH HAS NO AFFECT ON THE AUDIO, AS YOU CAN READ IN THE TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION ABOVE.

SO REALLY IT IS ONLY TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2 WITH ANYTHING OF NOTE, AND IT IS A QUIET TRACK. 

NOW I WAS GOING TO GIVE IT ONE AUDIO GRADE, BUT I THINK IT IS BEST TO SPLIT THE GRADE, SO......

TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG/VG+ .

ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND TRACKS 2, 3 AND 4 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . 

LABELS   :: AGAIN NO ISSUES SUPERB, JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND A TINY BROWN SPOT MARK ON LABEL 'A' :: EX/EX- .

ORIGINAL BLACK POLYLINED SWIRL INNER :: NO SPLITS, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING, AND 1.75, WRITTEN VERY TINY IN ONE TOP CORNER, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW BLACK POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE SWIRL ORIGINAL  :: VG+ .

HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS FOR YEARS, AND IT WAS A REAL TREAT, AND I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. THERE ARE THOSE COUPLE OF LIGHT AND FAINT TICKS AS MENTIONED, AND SOME COSMETICS ONLY SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS, SO STILL A FANTASTIC LISTEN !!!! COMES WITH SOLID ORIGINAL UNCRUSHED BOX COVER AND ORIGINAL BLACK SWIRL INNER !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!  ROSE.

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 !
