WTD - early Black Sabbath vinyl

[julesd68]

Am looking for near mint copies of the following Sabbath lp's -

Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Master of Reality
Vol 4
Sabotage

Not interested in paying silly money for any of the Vertigo stuff so early NEMS re-issues (1970's only) would be ideal.

Can anyone help?

Try and avoid NEMS re-issues and go for WWA instead.

All my early NEMS issues are ok with the exception of the first album which sounds pishanto.

My NEMS LPs are OK too

thanks chaps, yes don't know why I forgot about WWA ..
Picked up a fine WWA copy of 'Bloody Sabbath' recently and within budget..

The 80's NEMS reissues are awful - stay away unless you can find nothing else, but don't go without the music!

Just looking for these now ...

Master of Reality
Vol 4
Sabotage

Just received a copy of Paranoid today that was listed on ebay as 'looks unplayed'. So why has it got surface marks all over it, some that go over the whole lp!
And a 4cm tear to the bottom of the gatefold ... :mad:

Still, the NEMS sound quality is very respectable on this lp.

And now I discover it gets stuck at track 3 ...

WWA.. Take a look at the dead wax on your first four Black Sabbath WWA's you see the Vertigo Cat number with a line scribed through it ;)

hmm ok I guess that's a good thing - I've got a WWA debut lp on the way so will look out for that.

Just looked at 'Bloody Sabbath' and it wasn't there - probably coz it's the fith lp! :doh:
Amazing minty condition though - probably the cleanest old lp I've got ...

That's because it was not on Vertigo originally. only 'Black Sabbath', 'Paranoid', 'Master Of Reality' & 'Vol.4'..

'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' was on WWA from the offset, 'Sabotage' was originally NEMS.. {Must have a textured sleeve}

Lets hope you have an early WWA of your Self Titled..
