Artist: Black Sabbath Title: Never Say Die!
Format: LP, 33&1/3 RPM Type: Test Pressing
Label: Warner Brothers CatNo: BSK 3186 Date: September 29th, 1978
The eighth release from Black Sabbath (Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi), Never Say Die! was an attempted step towards commercial acceptance, put together while the band was burned out and falling apart. It features lead vocal by Bill Ward on one track (the first and only time that happened) due to band politics, and one song remained an instrumental for the same reason.
This gem up for auction is a test pressing of Never Say Die! from 1978. It comes in a plain cover & inner sleeve and is missing its label copy. The only visible identifier on this disk, therefore, is the matrix number on either side, in the trail-off vinyl. Listed below - matches up and identifies this as a test pressing for the first pressing of the record, on the Warner Brothers label.
The vinyl is near mint.
Please examine the photographs that accompany this listing and bid accordingly!
