Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
LP, Album, Gatefold | WWA Records | Cat. No. WWA 006 | UK | 1973
The album that started it all — Black Sabbath's self-titled debut on the UK WWA Records reissue, widely regarded as one of the finest-sounding pressings of this record and a sought-after alternative to the original Vertigo first press.

Silver on black WWA label; white poly-lined inner sleeve; lacquer cut and pressed by Phonodisc Ltd.; marketed by Phonogram. Seven tracks of foundational heavy metal — the title track, The Wizard, Behind The Wall Of Sleep, N.I.B., Sleeping Village, and the extended Warning (an Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation cover), plus Evil Woman (a Crow cover). VG+ approaching NM on both vinyl and sleeve.

- Media: Very Good Plus (VG+) — approaching NM; minimal signs of handling; plays exceptionally well
