• Misaligned Matrix, Sounds Alright

  4 out of 5 stars

  This is indeed the right album, but the matrix is misaligned. It's not the best quality copy, but it sounds alright.

• Top Sabbath Album, Audio Flaws

  I might get in trouble for saying this, but this is hands down my top Black Sabbath album. The audio quality on this one is a bit of a letdown, I've got to admit.

• Deserving Album Quality

  This album is fantastic and doesn't get the attention it deserves. The quality of the pressing is really good. I'd bet that the UK first pressing sounds even better, but this one is still a great listen.

• Poor Quality Control

  Sound is hushed and lacks depth, but there's a tiny scratch, about the size of a fingernail mark, leading to a repeating click on side 2. Honestly, quality control these days is just not up to par, so this isn't just a problem with this particular reissue.

• GZ Pressing: Good Quality, Clear Bass

  4 out of 5 stars

  In my collection, this version is the most similar to what I own, and to be honest, I'm not overly attached to it. I'm sharing this more for others' benefit. The cover matches the pictures, but there's a sticker over the EAN with the cat. no.: BMGRM060LP, whereas the label shows BMGCAT482, Matrix: 147587E1/A, 147587E2/A2. It's likely a GZ pressing, and the inner sleeve is the one with five tracks on the B side, including "3. Over to You". The quality of the pressing is above average, the record has a slight warp, but it plays almost flawlessly with minimal distortion. The sound is excellent, the bass is adequate, perhaps a bit clearer, with good detail and a pleasant stereo image (though I don't have other versions to compare). The outer and inner sleeves are well-made and look great. I'd recommend giving it a listen. Enjoy...Played on: Technics SL-100C, Ortofon Concorde Music Bronze, Rega Fono MM MK5, Technics SU-G700M2, Yamaha NS-777, Vinyl Cleaner Pro-Ject VC-E
