BLACK SABBATH "MASTER OF REALITY" RARE MISPRINT LABEL (VG++/EX play) with POSTER

Description

True original issue - 1st of 3 variations in green WB label releases of the 1971 Sabbath classic "Master of Reality" album with label sporting misprint title and listing additional non-existent tracks  (supposedly a joke played on Warner Bros Record Company execs by the band - it took WB two additional tries to finally get it right).

PLAYTESTED!!!!! NO RELIANCE ON VISUAL APPEARANCE TO GUESS HOW IT SOUNDS - This LP offers EXCELLENT LISTENING EXPERIENCE bordering on AUDIOPHILE QUALITY.  VIRTUALLY PERFECT HISS FREE/CRACKLE FREE SOUNDSTAGE ON THIS - ALL RUN-OFFS FROM ONE TRACK TO NEXT ARE SILENT.  The only thing keeping this from PERFECT play are a couple random and insignificant (low audible) pops/ticks on each side.

This LP has been cleaned using a special process to remove the dust and debris that has nestled deep in grooves over the decades.  Vinyl surface reflects normal mars (scuffs) and hairlines on both sides given age - probably VG to VG+ in appearance, while the labels appear very fine to near mint in condition.

Album jacket is correct embossed version (high relief) and still retains very nice level of gloss/sheen (mirror like finish).   Minor album ring impression.  No significant edge stress lines/creases present - just 1 minor one along bottom edge.  No seam splits along either the top or bottom edges.  Spine is tight and square with limited wear/color breaks - pretty nice overall with band name and album title completely readable.   Comes with original WB inner sleeve in good condition - no side splits but bottom has split.

Poster is original vintage in fine + condition.  Clean with excellent color (no fade) with very minor color breaks along fold lines.  Only flaws are staple/pinholes present in each corner and a small 2" separation at bottom fold, otherwise no rips, tears or creases. 

This is your opportunity to pick up this truly rare collectible Sabbath album for a decent price.
