Black Sabbath – The Best of Black Sabbath Rare Japanese Original Pressing – LP – Collector’s Item An attractive and increasingly difficult-to-find Japanese original pressing of Black Sabbath, one of the most influential and important bands in the history of heavy metal. Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1968, Black Sabbath – featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – created a uniquely dark, heavy and powerful sound that played a fundamental role in shaping the heavy metal genre. This Japanese release features an excellent selection of classic tracks from Black Sabbath’s early period and is particularly desirable for collectors of Japanese pressings and vintage heavy metal vinyl. Track Listing Side A A1 – Tomorrow’s Dream A2 – Sweet Leaf A3 – Fairies Wear Boots A4 – Wicked World Side B B1 – Black Sabbath B2 – Supernaut B3 – Into the Void B4 – Paranoid Condition Vinyl: VG+ Very good used condition. Only fine, superficial hairlines and light signs of previous handling are visible. In my assessment, these do not have any significant effect on playback. Cover: Excellent Very good used condition with some age- and storage-related signs of wear. There are minor creases/pressure marks and some wear along the top edge. Please carefully examine the photographs for the exact condition. Back Cover: VG+ Shows visible age-related signs of use. Please refer to the photographs for further details. Booklet/Insert: VG+ Well preserved, with some light age-related yellowing. ★★★ A rare and hard-to-find Japanese release from the early Black Sabbath era – an excellent collector’s item for fans of classic heavy metal and Japanese vinyl pressings. ★★★ Professional Cleaning & Protection Before shipping, the record will be professionally cleaned once again using a dedicated record-cleaning machine.
