Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath Vinyl Gatefold Vertigo Swirl & Inner 2nd UK Press

Description: The record is 54 years old and has been played many times in its life, so it is not perfect. However, I have cleaned it with a vacuum RCM and played it through. There are no skips, and music comes through with massive clarity and presence. There is surface noise (audible crackling) throughout although the record does not look very worn. The more it is cleaned the better it will sound, maybe if you have an ultrasonic machine. It comes with an original Vertigo swirl inner which makes it pretty rare. Please examine the photos carefully and ask questions if you are unsure. The photos form part of the description. It will be sent via Special Delivery to UK buyers for insurance purposes.

The 2nd UK press with ''swirl'' Vertigo big logo above spindle hole and the wording ''Vertigo'' below spindle hole but no 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' text under. Compared to the 3rd UK press, in this issue ‘BLACK SABBATH’ it is slightly moved to the right than the wording ‘VERTIGO’. ‘VO6 847 903 VTY’ and below ‘847 903 2Y’ lines are farther from the edg and decentralized. The last line is moved farther to the right than the other two above. As the first issue, this second issue comes in a gatefold cover and with classic Vertigo ''swirl'' inner bag. The gatefold cover is slightly textured compared to later issues and the different upper-case only credits on inner gatefold. Vertigo inner sleeve reports: 'MADE IN ENGLAND British Patent No. 800513 & 973939 - PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS - TO AVOID SUFFOCATION KEEP THIS BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN'. The second issue (this release) and subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues has the corrected copyright warning “Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”, instead the first issue had the erroneous copyright warning “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”. The second (this release) and first issue had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. Subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits.All issues released on the ''swirl'' Vertigo all mis-spell Ozzy Osbourne as Ossie Osborne.
