I have a copy i’m trying to sort out.
Same runouts, side A does not have P pressed but side B does. Iommi is not misspelled though.
Looking at the other pressing with the same runout, mine came in the sleeve this release did. I would assume they wouldn’t forget to stamp P at this plant but I’m unsure. -
Amazing pressing - can’t beat this except if you can get your hands on a ‘70 UK Vertigo.
Question: anyone else have Ozzy’s vocals drifting from the right to the left channel in the middle of War Pigs? -
Was able to get my hands on a VG++ copy and the sound is incredible! This is the best I’ve ever heard this album, highly recommend! -
this kicks ass if you can get a clean copy. I have two copies of this One in VG++, and one is VG+. I'll be looking for a NM copy, when I get it I'll probably sell the other two ...or maybe not...LOL
-
Damn. This is amazing. Can't get much better than this. Over half a century old and brings shivers to your soul.
-
Stellar pressing. Warm, but detailed and up front all at the same time. It begs you to crank your system and just gives out the goods. The guitar tones sound so good. Highly recommend.
