Tracklisting & More Information
The third album by the English heavy metal band, released on the 21st July 1971 and credited as the foundation of doom, stoner and sludge metal. Certified double platinum after having sold over two million copies.
The matrix numbers indicate that this copy was among the first pressed:
SIDE A - 6360050 1 Y // 1 V 420
SIDE B - 6360050 2 Y // 1 V 420
Condition
The laminated box sleeve has a top opening and was manufactured and printed by Howards Printers Ltd. These are usually found in poor condition due to the design. This copy has some natural lift/peeling to the laminate along the edges & just some faint crease marks around the edges. A nice EX copy, very rarely ever bettered.
The labels are the one-off 'reversed' swirl design with black background & white text, with the small swirl logo & 'VERTIGO' text above the spindle. The labels are clean with no writing & very little sign of any play by the spindle hole.
The vinyl grades Excellent. There is some very light visable paper scuffs and hairlines to indicate limited play but, after professional cleaning, the playback is astounding with the faintest audible surface click at times which certainly won't affect the enjoyment of this classic.
The reversed 'swirl' inner completes the package & is a nice clean example.
Now we come on to the rarest part of this pressing, the POSTER. Printed on the slightly thicker stock paper and with a matt finish not glossy. We have graded this as VG+, as it has been displayed on a fans wall, and has a few pin holes in each corner, however there are no other signs of rips or tears.
A really nice example of this classic album.
