Vertigo Swirl very 1st UK pressing!
A stunning, original ,1971 first issue release.
The vinyl is visually stunning with highly polished, glass like surfaces , very similar to mint vinyl Unmarked under a stronger halogen light, and a closer examination, one will detect NO sleeve removal marks/hairlines whatsoever!!! MINT visual to the voyeur and a pleasure to view . I doubt whether one will come across a better visual exhibit .Would be very difficult to match . Beautiful exhibit .
The first issue , fully laminated, boxed sleeve is in very good++ condition!!!. Lamination reflects a glossy sheen . A very good++ example of the “boxed sleeve” variant and in very good ++ condition.
Vertigo swirl label format indicating the very first issue of this sensational Sabbath release . Only able to detect only a few very minor spindle traces, a phenomenal exhibit indeed ,with no mottling, no rips, nor tears only the odd very minor spindle line is visible whatsoever!!!. No discoloration on the magnificent large swirl label and are superb examples of this very famous label format. Mint- examples !
Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is present but only in fair condition
Of True investment quality.
A remarkable example of this Sabbath classic and so hard to locate these days. Original first swirl inner bag with a stunning, highly polished vinyl, with a raw original sound, making this album presentation an absolute “MUST HAVE” for the serious collector .
