This is from my personal collection. I got this in the lates 70s so it is definitely from that era and not a later re-release. The cover includes the embossed words and is in good shape for its age.  There is some wear along the edges but only a 1" actual tear on the spine.  The cover has some light creases. The vinyl has some light surface scratches but plays well and you cannot hear it. If you are an audiophile, forget this one. If you just want a good sounding 1970s pressing of this album in overall good condition, this is for you.
Notes Master of Reality is the third studio album, released on July 21, 1971. Reached #8 on the U.S. album chart, immediately going gold. It was Black Sabbath’s first album to debut in the Top 10. Also their first album to feature the heavier new sound created by dropping the tuning three semi-tones below the standard E, thus creating the premise for what would become known as the stoner rock sound.

Some early German, US and Canadian pressings had the title incorrectly printed on the record labels as 'Masters Of Reality'.
