| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
History
The eponymous debut studio album, recorded for Fontana Records in October 1969, prior to release the record company elected to switch the band to another of their labels, Vertigo Records, which housed the company's more progressive acts.
Released on Friday the 13th February 1970, the album reached number eight on the UK Albums Charts. Following its United States release in June 1970 by Warner Bros. Records, the album reached number 23 on the Billboard 200, where it remained for more than a year and sold one million copies.
Sleeve Notes
Three versions of the sleeve exist. The first issue had an erroneous copyright warning stating that “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”. The 2nd version corrected this to ”Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”. Both these versions had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. The third version of the sleeve changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits, whilst all versions including reissues, mis-spell Ozzy Osbourne as Ossie Osborne.
This copy comes with the first version of the sleeve, as stated above.
Label Notes
Large swirl logo above spindle.
“VERTIGO” below spindle hole.
“A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT” appears below “VERTIGO”
Upper case song titles with track numbers.
On later issues the 'Philips' referance is removed and the swirl logo becomes smaller

Condition
The sleeve has some scuffing along the edges, which is usual for the non laminate sleeves and has no splits or rips. There is an annotation to the front and a name annotation to the reverse with the inside showing light print fade. The colours are still vibrant and clear with all the text legible although a sheen of foxing can be detected when tilted to the light
The labels show light foxing and a high degree of spindle wear.
This vinyl shows extensive signs of play with light scuffing across most of the surface and an excessive amount of hairlines and other light marks, although none to be considered deep. Although it has been cleaned, it has not been play tested.
Due to its extreme scarcity, this copy, although far from mint, may be considered as a collection filler at a reasonable price.
