BLACK SABBATH Black Sabbath (Extremely rare 1970 Japanese 7 track vinyl LP on the blue Philips label, housed in a high quality unique gatefold picture sleeve variant with Japanese text & English lyrics inside [with some amusing misinterpretions!]. This copy is complete with the near mythical Vertigo obi-strip which is much rarer than the album itself, most were discarded. The obi proclaims that this is Vertigo's biggest new group and that the audience should watch out for the guitarist! It also has the 2,000 yen price printed at the bottom. The gatefold sleeve [VG+] has a degree of foxing built up on the inside, a common occurence with Japanese paper goods over time; all text remains clearly legible and the cover otherwise shows light shelf wear from storage, with no writing or tears to the obi. The vinyl grades Excellent with some minor paper scuffs to show play. A nice complete copy of this very sought after pressing SFX-7266)#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
