On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Black Sabbath called "Paranoid" and is an 1970 UK Pressing on the Vertigo 'Spiral' label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF BLACK SABBATHS RAREST LPs EVER AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs ON THE VERTIGO LABEL - AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW DETAILS THAT MAKES THIS LP THE RAREST PRESSING EVER MADE - WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES IN EXISTENCE LIKE THIS ONE:-

1) FIRSTLY THE COVER IS LAMINATED.  THIS IS FAR RARER THAN THE UNLAMINATED COVER VERSIONS, AND ALSO MORE DESIRABLE.  IT LOOKS NICER AND IS A FAR BETTER QUALITY COVER.

2) THIS LP INCREDIBLY HAS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS!!!!  AND THIS SHOULD NOT EXIST ON THIS LP AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP HAS A 'DATE CODED' 0671 VERTIGO INNER - SHOWING THAT IT WAS MADE AROUND 9 MONTHS AFTER THE RELEASE DATE.  AND IT HAS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' SMALL VERTIGO LABELS WHICH HAD JUST COME INTO PRODUCTION.  HOWEVER - EVEN THOUGH THE VAST MAJORITY OF 'LARGE' VERTIGO LABELLED VERSIONS THAT CAME BEFORE THIS ONE HAD THE LATER 1/2 MATRIXES (WITH AN EXTRA TRACK GAP ON 1 SIDE!) - THIS ONE DOES NOT!!!!  INCREDIBLY, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE LATER 'SMALL' VERTIGO LABEL, IT STILL HAS THE 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS TO BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD (WHICH SHOULDN'T EXIST ON THIS LABEL AT ALL!), HAS MASSIVELY THICK VINYL (99% OF COPIES ON THIS LABEL ARE MADE OF VERY THIN VINYL!), AND IT STILL HAS THE 1ST PRESS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GROOVE SPACING ON SIDE B (THE WHITE LABEL SIDE) WITH ONLY TWO GAPS BETWEEN THE TRACKS ON THAT SIDE (LATER ONES HAVE THREE GAPS!)!!!!  

ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE WITH A LAMINATED COVER, 'SMALL' VERTIGO LABEL, MASSIVELY THICK VINYL, AND STILL WITH THE 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES!!!!  BARELY ANY ARE LEFT IN EXISTENCE - AND IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ALL TIME RAREST PRESSING OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 'RAREST EVER' UK PRESSING ON THE 'SMALL' VERTIGO 'SPIRAL' LABEL, ORIGINAL '0671' DATE CODED VERTIGO INNER SLEEVE, STILL WITH 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES, AND ULTRA RARE GATEFOLD LAMINATED COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL UK Pressing from 1970 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 6360 011 on the Vertigo 'Spiral' Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only a few hairlines in 1 area on one side ONLY (only visible under bright light!), NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines elsewhere, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, only a few light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though I am certain that most would grade higher still!!!!  And in fact, I am choosing the LOWEST grading for 1 side ONLY.  As one side of the record is Very Good - but the other side is more like Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  AND BOTH SIDES LOOKS BRILLIANT AND SHINE LIKE NEW!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL '0671' Date Coded Vertigo inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition and still FULLY poly lined!!!!  The ULTRA RARE Gatefold Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corner tips, NO rips, NO tears, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
