A scarce and very interesting Israeli pressing of Black Sabbath's legendary self-titled debut album, issued by Phonodor under catalogue number 12182. This edition differs noticeably from the familiar UK issue, being housed in a laminated non-gatefold sleeve with flipback construction, making it a distinctive international variation highly sought after by Black Sabbath collectors. The Phonodor imprint was active in pressing records for the Israeli market during this period, and surviving copies of this particular variant remain uncommon in the collecting world. ⸻ Sleeve (VG+): The laminated sleeve remains in nice overall condition. There is some age-related yellowing to the rear and a few light creases, but the flipbacks remain clean and well preserved. The sleeve is structurally solid and still presents very nicely → VG+ Vinyl (VG+): A very attractive copy with fantastic gloss and shine. There are only minimal signs of previous play, and the labels remain clean and well preserved → VG+ ⸻ Details * Israeli pressing * Phonodor label * Catalogue: 12182 * Laminated non-gatefold sleeve * Flipback construction
