Description

Simply Stunning Error Pressing Of The Original 1970 U.K. Stereo Vertigo Swirl 1st Pressing (Second Phase) Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath!!! ***What makes this One Very Special Indeed is That The Inner Of The Gatefold Sleeve Has Been Printed Upside-Down*** Factory Errors Do Not Usually Come This Glaringly Obvious!!!! Don't Miss What Is Probably The Rarest UK Black Sabbath  Album You will Ever See!!!

This is quite simply the rarest UK Black Sabbath 1st pressing you will ever see, bar none. It is very probably unique. The fact that it made it out of the factory for general retail at all back in 1970 with such a glaring error is amazing, we have one seriously slack quality control supervisor to thank for this little beauty!  You are bidding on what can only be described as a sensational factory mispress of the legendary self titled debut LP by Black Sabbath!!!

Let's get the boring stuff outta the way. First off, this is the UK Vertigo Records UK Swirl 1st Pressing second phase of the 1970 debut, with no Phillips credit.  Now to find an original UK Vertigo Swirl pressing of this legendary record is pretty rare in itself,  however what makes this one so special is that it has had the inner gatefold section pasted on **Upside Down** (ironically Ozzy's upside down cross is now the right way up - I bet that P**ses him off!). The whole inner gatefold section is one piece and the whole thing has been pasted upside down in relation to the outer gatefold, which has been pasted in reverse to the inner. You will probably never see anything like this again, I am guessing it is unique. The condition (not that it really matters with this one!) is: vinyl = Excellent, with a beautiful shine and just a very minor hairline or two. The amazing sleeve grades as Excellent- (minus) with no stains, writing, scribbles etc. Just the general light signs of aging (i's some light seam rubbing). It has no serious issues whatsoever. Comes complete with original Vertigo swirl poly-lined inner sleeve which also grades as Excellent with no issues. I'm gonna stop nattering and let the pictures do the talking from here...

You want the rarest ever Original UK Black Sabbath album...? This is it. Please bid early and bid high to avoid disappointment because you will only get one chance with this one. There is surely not another in existence like it and once it's gone it's gone, you will NEVER get another shot at it...

 

I will be selling my entire UK 1st Press collection of 1960/70's Psych/Prog./Beat/Rock & Folk over the coming months, most of these records are in Mint- condition, many having 3 figure book prices. All will be listed here on eBay UK, most with a £2.99 start and No Reserve - bookmark my pages. Like the vast majority of my collection, this record has been archived upright in a thick outer PVC sleeve in a smoke & damp free environment since purchase!

I have tried to show you the record from all angles using extra large images. If you are not sure of anything just email me - I will be happy to help. Don't underestimate the rarity of this LP - finding a copy is almost impossible today - Don't let it get away because once it's gone it's gone, I don't have anymore!! Good Luck!!!

All my records have No reserve, a Low Start and No Surcharges!

Postage ... Hazey Jane has absolutely NO hidden surcharges; the price you win is the price you pay, just add the relevant postage, it's as simple as that! We always combine postage so if you win more than 1 auction you save money on postage costs! We will only ship to non-UK countries via Airmail - we do not use surface mail, it is way too slow and thus increases the risk of records being damaged during transit.

A little note about insurance - Please read carefully... If the value of your record(s) is over £30, your invoice will include an insured option. Being the responsible adults you are, it is entirely up to you to take this up  - we strongly advise you to do this but will not hassle you about it. You either add the required insurance or you don't. If you do add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will get a refund. If you don't add the required insurance and your record is lost/damaged, you will not get a refund. Can we be any clearer? I think not.

Eastern European Countries: We welcome bidders from Eastern Europe, however UK post will now only send to these countries via signed for delivery. Therefore you must pay at the European insured rate (see below) for all records. This applies to all the following countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine,& Yugoslavia

  • LP/Album Postage and Packing within the UK = £3.85.   Total inclusive of 1st Class insured delivery = £8.25

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
