Black Sabbath Master of Reality 1971 UK 1st Press Embossed Box Sleeve Vertigo 1Y/2Y

99p start, no buy it now offers please

Please note that I am not a record dealer or anything like that. I am looking to sell a record that has been part of a private collection which I am now parting with. All records may have been played, they have all been stored dry and kept flat. I describe any issues I can see with my own two eyes. Feel free to ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. There are some classic records to be listed and I always try to combine postage when viable.

You are looking at or possibly bidding on a rare and collectable 1st press of Black Sabbath – Master of Reality. This version comes in an embossed box and should have a poster with it, unfortunately the poster is no longer present. Please be aware that there is no poster. Record still in its Vertigo poly-lined inner sleeve, although this has slightly age browned.

Vinyl is still in very good condition (in my opinion), it does have a couple visible hairlines / surface marks and other very fine marks under light from being taken in and out of a sleeve, but nothing I would class as of great concern. Vinyl still retains a very high sheen as photographed. Maybe a little dusty too and benefit from a proper / professional clean. Comes with its Vertigo paper insert (a little aged looking) all housed in a limited edition embossed outer box. Please note that the outer box is slightly squashed, it also has a slight bend to the bottom right hand corner, some light creasing and general age related shelf / storage wear. Clear coating over the embossed lettering lifting slightly in places as photographed. Flap to the back of the box cover has a little tear and some creasing form being opened and closed. Still a nice collectable copy of this Black Sabbath classic.
