THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN A JOBLOT OF 500 ROCK AND POP VINYLS I PURCHASED 3 YEARS AGO, ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS I GUESSED IT WAS A DANCE DJ WHITE LABEL SAMPLER ETC, SO DIDNT EVEN GIVE IT ANY MORE THOUGHT AND IT SAT ON MY SHELF UNPLAYED, UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO, WHEN I WAS SORTING THROUGH TO PREPARE SOME VINYLS FOR SELLING ON EBAY. 

SO I GAVE IT A SPIN AND WAS SUPRISINGLY MET WITH THE ICONIC SOUND OF OZZY AND THE GANG FROM THEIR DEBUT ALBUM " BLACK SABBATH". AMAZING !!!!

IT HAS ABSOLUTLY MINT WHITE LABELS WITH NO WRITING, ON THE PLAIN WHITE CARD SLEEVE OR LABELS OR POLY LINED INNER, AND OBVIOUSLY SOUNDS SUPERB !!!!

 CONDITION

The Vinyl  MINT

On visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome !!!!! I can't see even a single blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! BUT IM STRUGGLING TO EVEN SEE THOSE TO BE HONEST !!! Importantly There is DEFINATELY NO needle scratches, OR even hairlines, or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!! 

UNPLAYED LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!! AS NEW !!!

The Audio Quality  MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on my top REGA system,  the audio is awesome ! STUNNING !!!

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove wear at all !!!! 

Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion !!
