Black Sabbath Vol 4 Vinyl Record Warner Bros Us Pressing Appraisal

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 (Vinyl Record, Warner Bros. US Pressing)

This is a 12-inch long-playing (LP) vinyl record of Black Sabbath's fourth studio album, 'Vol. 4'. This specific copy is a United States pressing on the Warner Bros. Records label, identifiable by the distinctive 'Burbank' palm tree label design which was commonly used by the label from the early to mid-1970s. The label is an olive/tan shade featuring the 'WB' shield logo at the 12 o'clock position. The catalog number 'BS 2602' is visible on the left side of the spindle hole. Side 2 tracklist includes 'Snowblind', 'Cornucopia', 'Laguna Sunrise', 'St. Vitus Dance', and 'Under The Sun'. The vinyl itself appears to be standard black wax with a visible gloss, though some light surface scuffing and fingerprints are present under the light, which may indicate a 'Very Good' (VG) or 'Very Good Plus' (VG+) condition relative to Goldmine standards. The center hole shows minimal wear, suggesting it has not been overplayed. The manufacturing rim text at the bottom confirms 'Warner Bros. Records Inc.' and 'Made in U.S.A.' Given the palm tree label style, this press likely dates between 1973 and 1978, as the original 1972 release would have featured the 'Green Label' design.
