1. Black Sabbath — Paranoid acetate
$2,499.00
Best offer accepted
Seller’s comments: BLACK SABBATH ACETATE FOR PARANOID VG++ MASTERING LAB ARTISAN LABEL ONE OF A KIND. This is a labeled Mastering Lab copy from Artisan Master acetate for the album “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath. This was considered by many to be Black Sabbaths magnum opus. The acetate has minor scuffs and scratches and lightly ticks or pops when plays and should be considered in VG++ as we grade records. It is not mint but who cares. The label photos show the labels correctly in their black and white colors and letterings. The label was typed and the black song title letters are touchable on the label. This is an amazing sounding record. When you get this close to the final product, it feels like you are in the room with the band. I have played this and it is so cool. Song titles: As printed on label: War Pigs/Luke’s Wall, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Iron Man, Side two: Electric Funeral, Hand of Doom, Rat Salad, Jack the Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots.

$205.50
7 bids
Seller’s comments: Music for Nations Test Pressing Vinyl: NM- (see scale below). Although I am grading this as ‘NM-’, I am not able to see any surface/paper marks or any scratches. This was never played while it was in my collection, however, I am not the original owner. Labels are in excellent condition. I will include a clean rice paper inner sleeve, a 12″ cardboard outer jacket, and a polypropylene outer sleeve as shown in the pictures. When I initially purchased this test pressing, an additional inner sleeve with the title written on it was included. I do not know whether or not this is the original sleeve, but I am including it as well, just in case it is.
