CONDITION: 

VINYL NEAR MINT The black vinyl is beautifully clean and bright and appears to have been carefully played only a handful of times. The sound reproduction also play grades as NEAR MINT with absolutely SUPERB AUDIO throughout. The black and white swirl paper labels are clean with some very very light spindle lines. STUNNING!

INNER SLEEVE NEAR MINT- The record will be sent in a new polylined inner sleeve, along with its original black and white swirl polylined paper inner bag. This has barely discoloured from its original white and shows just a little creasing in the corners.

OUTER SLEEVE EXCELLENT The unlaminated satin-finish gatefold sleeve is in remarkable condition. It is clean and unmarked with bright original colours inside and out. There is some minor creasing and a little edgewear in the bottom lefthand corner of the back cover, and some slight rubbing to the back bottom righthand corner. The inner gatefold looks almost like new.  

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS ORIGINAL 1970 UK BLACK SABBATH RARITY.
