BLACK SABBATH
MASTER  OF      REALITY   
UK 1ST PRESS, WITH ORIGINAL ENVELOPE FULLY LAMINATED COVER, AND ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER !!!   WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS 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, PLAYS REALLY WELL, AND ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, AND COMES ROM MY TREASURED 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 1ST PRESS  ::  6360 050  1Y//1   ::  6360 050  2Y//1  . 
ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 050 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, FULLY LAMINATED ENVELOPE, TOP AND BOTTOM OPENING RDGES, AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THIS HAS HAD A THICK CARDBOARD INSERT FITTED TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING CRUSHED, SO IT IS STILL IN LOVELY SOLID CONDITION !!!! JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND NO RIPS OR TEARS ON THE OPENING SIDE EDGES, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  ::  EX/EX- . BUT SO MUCH NEARER TO EX, RATHER THAN EX- !!!!

VINYL :: THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT PLAYS WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY, WITH NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE, ALSO NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, OR CLICKS !!!!!

ALL I HEARD WAS JUST LITERALLY A FAINT TICK, NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO, BUT BETWEEN TRACK 2 AND TRACK 3, AND FIVE VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE START, AND A VERY FAINT TICK AT THE END OF TRACK 3 .

WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST A FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 1, SO SUPERB AUDIO !!!!

NOW VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, BUT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPINER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL THIN COSMETIC SCUFFS, BUT THEY ARE AS MENTIONED, COSMETIC AND NOTHING FEELABLE, SO REALLY JUST A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND IF YOU PLAY THE VINYL WITHOUT LOOK AT IT, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THERE WERE ANY COSMETICS !!!!

SO FOR THE AUDIO GRADE, AND I AM GOING TO PLAY IT SAFE, AND GRADE THE SUPERB AUDIO  :: EX/EX+ .

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

ORIGINAL BLACK POLYLINED SWIRL INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, WITH SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW BLACK POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  :: VG/VG+ .

HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS FOR YEARS, AND IT WAS A REAL TREAT, AND I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. THERE ARE THOSE COSMETICS, WHICH HAVE NO AFFECT ON THE WONDERFUL AUDIO !!!! 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 ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
