Man i saw on the Paranoid Albums, you have those PVC Sleeves. Please change them ASAP!!! They will damage your vinyl and will leave a permanent stain on the record 🙈 Great Video and the Swirl collection is amazing!
Totally agree on the PVC sleeves. I changed all my covers a few years ago now to poly ones. I had few albums going back 40 to 50 years where the sleeve had caused ghosting on the vinyl. Some I cleaned and came up a bit better but once damaged it will not come off. Good thing though is it does not affect the audio.
I'm new to vinyl and went to Southend record Fair on Sunday. I got Ten, Nevermind, and Back in Black for £40. All coloured. Didn't realise or know about bootleg copies but I do now after playing them! Live and learn!
Dude, you have to get rid of those PVC outer sleeves. They can offgas permanently damaging your records! You can tell when it's happened as there are strange cloudy/wavy marks on the record. Stick to any poly outer sleeve, just no PVC.
Treasure hunting and crate digging - two of my all time favourite hobbies! Much more rewarding than just searching online. Sad to hear you’re more of collector than listener though, as with all things in life it’s about balance!😀
Fantastic! So happy you did a video on your Sabbath collection - a very nice collection indeed. The first pressing of the Paranoid LP also has six lines (not 5) of credits in the gatefold. This is a highly sought after edition and £44 is a very good price - especially in that condition. Also, check to see if your copy of the first Black Sabbath LP has the Philips credit at the bottom of the label. That's also a very sought after edition and I think the very first pressing of that album.
never really liked black sabbath myself apart from Paranoid, tho heaven and hell is fantastic. It reminds me of early Rainbow which why I really like it. Ronnie honestly was an outstanding singer. The albums he done with rainbow and even his solo album are just masterpieces. Can't fault him
I think it's super unfair how most fans, and DEFINITELY the Sharon Osbourne camp, treat the Tony Martin albums. The Headless Cross is not my favorite album by them, but I legitimately think he's the best singer they ever had. I say that with every awareness of the prestige associated with Ozzy, Dio and Ian, and I don't mean to diminish them. Tony Martin absolutely killed Cross Purposes and The Headless Cross etc. He was the perfect choice for the vibes on those albums.
Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands to collect. My biggest wants are the first 4 on Vertigo Swirl. Unfortunately here in the states I’ve never found any. Very cool to see all four in your collection! Even more impressive may be the deals you got them for! Your granddad is a brilliant negotiator!
I like black sabbath with ozzy but my all time vocalist has to be Ronnie james dio so Heaven and hell and mob rules I don't own them on vinyl but am hopeing to go to a record fair on Saturday in swansea so eyes peeled. Great video 👍
Nice collection. I note you are missing Tyr though. The rarest and most expensive one to buy. I have Near Mint copy bought on release, same as I did going back to Never Say Die. I do have lovely condition copies of all the rest though. Bought Paranoid new back in 1972 for about £2.15
Hey there ! I need a good copy of the Sabbath debut.. It was my first hard rock album I had ever heard, and through brand new Sony headphones ( 1970 ).. I was thirteen and.. Ready to roll ! 🎵
Brilliant mate, loved the video. Im 65 years old but didn't catch onto Sabbath until 1974 when i bought Paranoid, then Sabotage when it was released the year after. I was lucky enough to have seen them 3 times during the mid to late 70's, firstly on the Sabotage tour in 75, then their Technical Ecstasy tour, and finally on their Never Say Die tour, WHICH... had an unknown band by the name of Van Halen as support, hard to believe isn't it hahaha. You've done well getting hold of those early albums on the Vertigo label, the copies i bought in the mid 80's were on the WWA label apart from Sabotage which was on NEMS, unfortunately i dont have my original vinyl from my teens, anything i do have is on cd or re-leased vinyl. Incidentally my new copy of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath has a misprint on the back cover, it only has side l listed, side 2 is missing. Favourite Sabbath album for me has got to be their first album, Black Sabbath, but really you could choose any of the first 4 and no one could argue with you.
Interesting! I have a different version of Paranoid, it's a gatefold on Vertigo but has the Roger Dean Space ships label which I think was introduced in 1973. Faves? Well Paranoid for the Oz Sabbath but Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules was when I really got into them, saw them at Hammersmith in 1981 & '82 - showing my age now :)
Love Sabbath, Love Gillan...but if "Born Again" was the best they could come up with together, they should never have done it IMHO (Gillan agrees by the way)
Seventh Star was going to be a Tony Iommi solo album, it was the record company that wanted it to be and forced it to be a Black Sabbath album. That's why it has that weird compromise of Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi.
very entertaining video. as for a favourite album, then it's either the debut or Sabotage. Fro the Dio era I've got a soft spot for Mob Rules. I saw Sabbath at the legendary Sofia Gardens gig in Cardiff in 1981, when the promoter sold enough tickets for 2 shows and they had to play twice in one night to prevent a full scale riot! I saw the first one and then hid to try and see the second but no chance - ww were found and thrown out! I had tickets then for the following year there, but heavy snow caused the venue's roof to collapse and it was cancelled! Was also supposed to see them in August 1981 at Heavy Metal Holocaust at Port Vale's football ground, with Motörhead. But they piulled out and Ozzy played instead. That was a great day out with Riot, Triumoph, Frank Marino and a couple of others on the bill. perhaps you should do Heep and their connections next but that'd be a long old video!!
I was in the concert at Sophia Gardens when there was obviously something going on outside. Some fans were breaking in through high level windows in order to get in. After the concert a friend of a friend gave me their ticket as they had to catch a train, so I got in to the second show as well. Amazing night!
@@duringthemeanwhilst May have been the guys I saw breaking in then, don't think too many got in that way. We weren't really told much inside the venue and I never heard or saw much of what was happening outside apart from it was basically about 2,000 fans with tickets not being allowed in and getting very angry!
@@stephenevans3483 my favourite memory was of the support act A II Z being pulled off the stage after only 1 or 2 songs!! some roadie gets the drummer's attention and gives him the "kill it" gesture!!!
@@duringthemeanwhilst Ah, that's interesting, I thought it was Sabbath that were stopped after 1 or 2 songs in order to try and sort things out. Damned if I can remember properly now.

Was gonna say that, PVC is evil, avoid it like the plague
That is what I was saying.. also put them all in some new inners
I always loved the Vertigo label "graphics. So trippy & cool looking whilst spinning your album👍🍻🥴

I said the same earlier but my comment seems to has disappeared! Use 400g polythene sleeves and not the 200g ones which are too flimsy.
I love Black Sabbath.

Yes, it's much better to find them out in the wild! And I can now say I'm listening a lot more now!

Amazing collection brother! I’m impressed with the good prices you paid 👌🏻. The Dutch record is definitely a promotional copy!
If you love Sabbath you'll love a band called Peth, check em out, pure Sabbath worship 🤘

Great video
👍
The Italien press from 1975 of Sabotage is on Vertigo Swirl.
What are yoooooouuuuuuu looking for??? Love the vinyl hunters! Looking forward to seeing your The Beatles and Captain Beefheart collections!
Black Sabbath is the base of my record collection.

Enjoyed the video. I too love visiting thrift shops and crate digging. Finding that gem among the stones is the best feeling. Well done.
Samples were probably sent out to music journalists for review which they promptly sold to their local second hand record shop, despite the warning!
Hey there ! I need a good copy of the Sabbath debut.. It was my first hard rock album I had ever heard, and through brand new Sony headphones ( 1970 ).. I was thirteen and.. Ready to roll ! 🎵
Manythnx, fun to watch🤘 you'll have to do this again in a while, who knows what we might uncover
Great collection ! Thanks for showing us .Motörhead next ?

Heaven And Hell and Born Again , best Sabbath albums IMO . Ozzys first 4 solo albums are classics .😉
I would include Mob Rules and take out Born Again
Love this content, need to see more collections! 👊
i found a us green wb paranoid lp with the master of reality poster in it, at the salvation army store.
The Dio album that you mentioned were not for sale are a promo, the sample records were usually sent to radio stations etc
Great video...I could see you focused on H - S - P and, it paid off!
Where is Technical Extasy??? This is a classic!
Amazing collection. I suggest finding a WB palm tree label press of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. It’s the rare instance where the US press is the best one.
The best Band.
Eternal Idol is a good buy
Man so many vertigo swirls ! In Canada they are so rare !
Amazing video I have started collecting albums like u
Lovely collection, you need Technical Ecstacy & Mob rules 👍
Yes, Def those are necessary for any Black Sabbath collection. They are iconic.
Seventh Star was going to be a Tony Iommi solo album, it was the record company that wanted it to be and forced it to be a Black Sabbath album. That's why it has that weird compromise of Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi.
Through those albums in some new innersleeves. What are you doing?
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Mob Rules are the top for me. It doesn't get better than Sign of the Southern Cross or Sabbra Cadabra.
very entertaining video. as for a favourite album, then it's either the debut or Sabotage. Fro the Dio era I've got a soft spot for Mob Rules.

What do you think about Pink Floyd as a next record Collection video ?
Uriah Heep in the background.
Been wanting to go to battlesbridge vinyl hunting not sure if it’s any good
Uriah Heep next please!
All these videos of rare pressings, etc... you'd be better off buying a decent hifi setup to play them on. Otherwise, a cd player would sound better.
