RARE FIRST PRESS UK 1971
SLEEVE IN G+/VG CONDITION, Laminate is 'lifting' (but still secured) at the edges of the embossed letters, some creasing at the edges (very minor, but easier to see due to laminate). The top fold where it opens, has some chipped colour and scuffs, but no tears as is common with this release. General shelf wear for age. Suprisingly sturdy, however- has been stored with cardboard inside to preserve shape. MISSING POSTER/SWIRL INNER
VINYL IS IN VG+ CONDITION with your typical liight scuffs from sleeve. Nothing too deep, a coujple of hairlines here and there, but plays nicely the whole way through, with rich sound.
Has been cleaned in a Degritter Ultrasonic Record Cleaning System.

REALITY IS HEAVY!
By: Allan on 4 August 2021I don't have this purple version, but rather a Rhino re-issue from a few years back. But whatever edition, this is classic Black Sabbath. In fact, I reckon you can argue a really strong case that the British heavy rock band had six albums in a row that are classic. Six! All the first half dozen, from the self-titled debut through to "Sabotage". That's an amazing run. "Master of Reality" was the third, and came out in 1971. Although it is short, it is really strong from beginning to end. From "Sweet Leaf", a love song to, um, herbal cigarettes, through to "Into the Void", a kind of metal sci-fi story. There are even two short guitar instrumentals for a bit of a refresher from the full-on rock sounds. Black Sabbath's reality still sounds wild.
