THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT SALE FOR YOU RECORD COLLECTORS OUT THERE. I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING RECORDS SINCE THE EARLY 60'S. DUE TO THE ECONOMY I NEED TO START SELLING OFF SOME OF MY TREASURED LP'S. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF MY RECORDS AND ALTHOUGH NOT EVERYTHING IS IN MINT OR NEAR MINT CONDITION I WOULD SAY 80% TO 90% ARE. WHAT I DID MOST OF THE TIME WAS TO ALWAYS BUY 2 COPIES. ONE TO PLAY AND ONE TO KEEP EITHER SEALED OR TO JUST OPEN FOR THE POSTER OR WHAT EVER GOODIES WERE INCLUDED IN THAT PARTICULAR RECORD. IN THIS CASE I BOUGHT 2 COPIES OF THIS SABBATH LP AND THIS ONE IS THE ONE I PLAYED.  I ALSO OWN A NITTY GRITTY RECORD CLEANING MACHINE. THEREFORE ALL OF MY OPENED RECORDS HAVE BEEN CLEANED WITH MY CLEANER SO NOTHING THAT YOU BUY FROM ME WILL EVER BE A DUSTY, DIRT INFESTED LP OR 45 RPM.  ALL MY LP'S HAVE BEEN STORED WITH A CLEAR MYLAR BAG SINCE THE EARLY 80'S. PRIOR TO THAT THEY WERE NOT COVERED AND SOME HAVE HINTS OF RING WEAR OR RING WEAR IN CERTAIN PLACES. THIS AUCTION IS FOR BLACK SABBATH'S ***MASTER OF REALITY*** LP. THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING AS IT HAS 3 EXTRA SONG TITLES ON IT. THE SONG TITLES ARE ON SIDE # 1 SONG # 5 "THE HAUNTING" AND LASTS 45 SECONDS. ON SIDE # 2 WE HAVE "STEP UP" AS SONG # 2  LASTING 30 SECONDS AND "DEATHMASK" AS SONG # 5 LASTING 3 MINUTES AND 8 SECONDS. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY COPIES WERE PRESSED WITH THESE SONG TITLES HOWEVER I DO KNOW THAT THESE COPIES ARE RARE AND GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND. THE COVER HAS NO COLOR LOSS OR ANY RING WEAR. THERE IS A TINY SCRATCH IN THE "S" OF SABBATH ON THE BACK COVER. THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE TEAR AREA IN THE CENTER BUT IT'S JUST A TEAR AND NO PART OF THE COVER IS MISSING.THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SPINE WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHITE.THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER SHOWS SOME WHITE ALSO FROM THE LP BEING TAKEN OUT AND PUT BACK IN IT'S BIN OVERTHE YEARS. THE LP ON SIDE # 1 HAS SOME HAIRLINE SURFACE SCRATCHES THAT WILL NOT AFFECT PLAY. THESE HAIRLINE SCRATCHES CAN'T BE SEEN UNLESS YOU LOOK AT THE LP UNDER A 150 WATT LIGHT BULB. SIDE # 2 HAS A FEW HAIRLINE SCRATCHES THAT ALSO CAN'T BE SEEN EXCEPT UNDER A 150 WATT LIGHT BULB. ALSO ON SIDE # 2 IS 1 SCRATCH ON SONG # 2 (LORD OF THIS WORLD) THAT CAN BE SEEN BUT NOT HEARD. THERE IS ALSO A WHITE SPINDLE MARK ON THE LABEL OF SIDE # 2. CHECK OUT MY PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE THESE SMALL IMPERFECTIONS. I RATE MY LP'S VERY STRICTLY. EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE IT'S IN BETTER CONDITION THAN MY RATING BECAUSE OF THE HAIRLINE SCRATCHES I'LL GIVE IT A VG+ RATING. THERE WAS A POSTER THAT CAME WITH THIS LP HOWEVER IN THE 70'S I DISPLAYED IT ON MY WALL USING TAPE IN EACH OF THE 4 CORNERS. DUE TO DISPLAYING ON MY WALL USING THE TAPE I WILL SAY THAT THE POSTER ISN'T PERFECT BUT IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION. REALLY THE LP IS WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON AS THE POSTERS ARE PRETTY EASY TO FIND IN MINT CONDITION. I WOULD RATE MY POSTER IN VG CONDITION ONLY BECAUSE I USED TAPE IN THE 4 CORNERS. IF YOU FRAME THE POSTER YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW. THE FRAME THAT THE POSTER IS ON IN THE PICTURE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION, JUST THE POSTER.  I HAVE A VERY LOW RESERVE PRICE ON THIS LP AS PAST AUCTIONS OF THE LP HAVE BEEN OVER $200.00. I WILL ALWAYS INCLUDE PICTURES OF THE LP AND JACKET SO THERE IS NO QUESTION AS TO WHAT YOU ARE BUYING AND THE CONDITION OF THE LP ITSELF. AS FAR AS TO MY OPINION OF THE CONDITION I HAVE BEEN RATING RECORDS FOR THE LAST 34 YEARS SO I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A PROFESSIONAL AT RATING MY LP'S. ALL LP'S ARE EITHER PLAY GRADED OR CHECKED UNDER A 150 WATT LIGHT BULB. I ALSO OWN A THORENS TURNTABLE WITH AN ORTOFON CARTRIDGE SO TRUST ME I WOULD NEVER PLAY AND A POOR CONDITION LP ON A $400.00 TURNTABLE SO I COULD DESTROY MY CARTRIDGE!! I HAVE READ AND SEEN THAT SOME PEOPLE ON EBAY BUY THE LP AND THEN SEND IT BACK WITH A DIFFERENT COPY AND WANT A REFUND. THAT'S  UNBELIEVABLE!! THEREFORE DUE TO THE RARITY AND COST OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING I WILL NOT BE OFFERING ANY REFUNDS. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO EVER SEND IT BACK ANYWAY. IF YOU WANT IT, BID ON IT AND WIN IT THEN WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. THEREFORE THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON YOU WOULD WANT TO RETURN IT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. SO DON'T BID ON IT, THINK YOU ARE GOING TO RECORD IT TO A CD OR SEND ME BACK YOU'RE BEAT UP COPY BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU BUY INSURANCE WITH THE SHIPPING YOU'LL BE COVERED ALL THE WAY AND HAVE THE LP OF YOUR DREAMS. PLEASE IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFO ABOUT AN LP I'M SELLING I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND YOU ANOTHER PICTURE OF ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. ALL I'M ASKING IS TO HAVE A FRIENDLY AND HONEST TRANSACTION. SHIPPING IS $4.00 FOR USA MEDIA MAIL. IF YOU WANT THE LP SHIPPED ANY OTHER WAY JUST WRITE ME AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AND LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SEND YOU YOU'RE QUOTE. OVERSEAS SHIPPING WILL ALSO HAVE TO BE QUOTED AT THE END OF THE AUCTION. AS I START SELLING MORE LP'S I'LL TRY AND FIGURE OUT SOME DEFINITE PRICING ON PRIORITY MAILING AND OVERSEAS MAILING. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SELL ANY OF THESE LP'S SINCE I HAVE OWNED THEM ALL MY LIFE. I'M FEELING THE ECONOMY'S CASH CRUNCH RIGHT NOW AND I UNFORTUNATELY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. I WILL ALSO BE SELLING MANY OF MY REEL TO REEL TAPES SO MARK ME DOWN AS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SELLERS AND JUST KEEP COMING BACK EACH WEEK TO SEE WHAT GOODIES I HAVE UP FOR AUCTION. GOOD LUCK BIDDING AND THANKS FOR CHECKING ME OUT.
