A original concert poster advertising ten German dates on Black Sabbath’s 1980 Heaven and Hell tour. By the time of these dates, Ronnie James Dio had replaced Ozzy Osbourne as the band’s singer. In overall excellent condition, with some minor diagonal creasing to the bottom left edge, a few incidental edge tears, virtually unnoticeable pinholes […]
An impossibly rare 1972 Warner Brothers Records In-House Award Gold Record celebrating a remarkable year at the label with many of their most famous artists, from the collection of the late WB’s chairman Russ Thyret. Thyret at the time was in the sales department, later the head of promotion at the label, and finally it’s […]
A rare concert program from Black Sabbath’s January 1971 Paranoid Tour of the UK. The thirteen stop tour saw Sabbath moving from clubs to theaters for the first time, with support groups Freedom and Curved Air (two shows were apparently cancelled.) The front cover features a stained glass window, and opens to reveal a full […]
A rare vintage photograph of Black Sabbath from the archives of the London Features International stock photo agency. This is an original hand-printed photograph, made from the original negative and printed near the time the photograph was taken. As a “vintage print”, it is much more collectible and valuable than a recent print. The London Features […]
An impossibly rare fully autographed UK first pressing of Black Sabbath’s 1970 debut album, on the collectible Vertigo label. This is the earliest pressing in Near Mint/Near Mint condition, with the big logo ‘swirl’ labels, ‘A Philips Record Product’ below Vertigo on the Side B label, and the erroneous copyright warning inside the cover reading […]
An oversize vintage 1975 photograph of Black Sabbath live in concert, published in Sounds Magazine.

There is […]
A UK 1st pressing of Black Sabbath’s album Paranoid, on Vertigo with the large Swirl label.

A very early 1970 UK second pressing of Black Sabbath’s self-titled debut album, with the Spiral Vertigo label and original first printing cover. The cover has the black inner gatefold with Ozzie Osbourne misspelled “Ossie”; the disc has the small Vertigo label without the “Phillips” credit. The playing surface looks mint, but the labels have […]
