Tracklisting & More Information

History
The eponymous debut studio album, recorded for Fontana Records in October 1969, prior to release the record company elected to switch the band to another of their labels, Vertigo Records, which housed the company's more progressive acts.

Released on Friday the 13th February 1970, the album reached number eight on the UK Albums Charts. Following its United States release in June 1970 by Warner Bros. Records, the album reached number 23 on the Billboard 200, where it remained for more than a year and sold one million copies.

Sleeve Notes
Three versions of the sleeve exist. The first issue had an erroneous copyright warning stating that “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”. The 2nd version corrected this to ”Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”. Both these versions had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. The third version of the sleeve changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits, whilst all versions including reissues, mis-spell Ozzy Osbourne as Ossie Osborne.

This copy comes with the very virst version of the sleeve, as stated above.

Label Notes
Large swirl logo above spindle.
“VERTIGO” below spindle hole.
“A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT” appears below “VERTIGO”
Upper case song titles with track numbers.

On later issues the 'Philips' referance is removed and the swirl logo becomes smaller

Condition
The sleeve has some minor scuffing & general wear, which is usual for the non laminate sleeves and has a split at the bottom on the back part, but with no rips.

The labels have a few light marks around the spindle hole, to show it has been played a few times. The vinyl has some noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch, like the sleeve remains very good.

Autographs
The previous owner informed us he acquired the signatures at an opening of a new record shop in Leicester, sadly he didn't remember the store name, but they did say the and were at the opening of the store and the fact this is a first issue then it must have been circa 1970.

The signatures are not hurried and Geezer has signed as Terry, demonstrating this to be an early signature.

Although this is certainly not in the best of condition, this is the first example of the debut album we have ever seen with the signatures of the original line-up, and is scraming out to be framed & displayed.
