Black Sabbath / Paranoid
Japan Orig. LP


PHILIPS SFX - 7266

Appendices: "Original OBI”, “G/F Cover" & “Insert ( for promotional use )”
( LYRIC INSERT is NOT originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1970 ) of their 2nd album, coming with complete appendices. Ordinary insert ( Liner notes & English lyric sheet ) was not originally issued for this album. But a promotional insert showing many album covers of Philips Japan is included.

Gate-fold cover shows inside “Japanese liner notes” & “English lyrics”. Price on obi is JPY1950, though a new price sticker JPY2000 is on the back cover. Anyway, it’s extremely hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG+/NM ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for partly worn corners, right-edge & lightly other outer-edges. It’s lightly scraped on the surface of each side, while being slightly tanned inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, strip, dent, stain & writing...OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: VG+, being with price sticker removal mark on lower portion of front. Otherwise it’s fine in shape.

INSERT ( promotional use ): VG+, being slightly tanned on the surface of each side. A vertical light crease is on the left. / LYRIC INSERT was not originally issued for this album.
