On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Black Sabbath called "Master Of Reality" and is an ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press 'Spiral' Vertigo label!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS IS ONE OF BLACK SABBATH'S 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!!!! BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS THAT IT IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL POSTER AND IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE!!!! AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT MY 'CLOSE UP' PICTURE OF THE INNER SLEEVE - YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT IT HAS PRINTED '06 71' (JUNE 1971) WHICH WAS JUST BEFORE THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED!!!! AND THIS VERY CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - AND BOUGHT ON THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE' BACK IN 1971!!!! AND THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY THIS LP IS 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL (& ULTRA RARE!) POSTER - BECAUSE ONLY A TINY HANDFUL OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY, EVER CAME WITH IT!!!! SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS AMAZING LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! AND EVEN THE VERY FRAGILE 'BOX COVER' STILL RETAINS A VERY NICE ORIGINAL 'BOX SHAPE' (SEE PICTURES!) WHICH IS SO VERY HARD TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS 'SPIRAL' VERTIGO LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIXES, 1ST PRESS VERTIGO 'DATE CODED' INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS POSTER, AND 1ST PRESS FULLY LAMINATED 'BOX' SHAPED 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 Vertigo UK 1st Pressing from 1971 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 6360 050 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Vertigo label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!! The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED 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 scratches, only a few VERY light hairlines, NO scufflines, 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 pops, barely ANY !!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is VERY bright and shiny indeed!!!! 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 1st Press 'Date Coded' Vertigo 'Spiral' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition - and still FULLY 'poly-lined'!!!! THE ULTRA RARE POSTER IS VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED!!!! And despite a few pinholes on the edges of the poster (mainly to the corners), some slight creasing, some yellowing to the back of the poster (who looks at the back anyway?), and some minor pinhole damage to a couple of the corners - it is still VERY solid and presentable indeed, as you can clearly see in my pictures!!!! A VERY PRESENTABLE POSTER INDEED - AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN WITH THIS LP!!!! The 1st Press FULLY Laminated 'Box' Cover is in BRILLIANT condi... read more
