Incredible record from start to finish and one of the best if not the best rock records ever made and  Black Sabbath’s best!
A true masterpiece and nearly impossible to find in this condition. I have seen hundreds of these first pressings that were graded better than what I am grading this one at that had untold issues  with the vinyl and the cover that left a lot to be desired.
The record is in Excellent+ or better condition There’s just a touch of normal low level static here and  there between some of the the run ins and outs and the occasional light ultra light tick nothing serious whatsoever…There’s just a few light  wispy sleeve removal marks and paper scuffs that that do not affect the play of this brilliant record....It’s a beauty!
The vinyl has retained it’s mirror like sheen and is in investment grade condition.
Both labels are in Excellent+ condition and show little signs of play.
The boxed style record cover is extremely difficult to find in this condition they are usually flattened and damaged due to the uniqueness of the cover and problems storing it…It’s a really nice cover and hard to find in this condition and both front and rear panels are still very glossy with just some ultra light  brushing here and there still and the cover easily grades Excellent+ or better.
And it comes with the original (not a reprint) machine folded poster .The poster is in Excellent or better  condition it does have very small unobtrusive pinholes on each corner and a minor corner crease (See  scan) there are no tears and the colors are incredibly vibrant for a poster that’s over 47 years old.
As with all records there may be a stray tick, click, pop or surface noise during the run ins  and run outs and a touch of crackle or low level static here and there which is totally normal  with vinyl. If there was anything  out of the ordinary like too much of any the above I would  not list the record, as I am first and foremost a record  collector just like you..This paragraph  is just to explain what you might encounter when buying vinyl records and  is no reflection  on this particular record.
I booked and coproduced two concerts here in New York City in August of 1971 when the band premiered this outstanding record.
