If anyone has this for sale ALSO at a reasonable price, please message me and let me know you want to sell! Trying to get all of Sabbath's studio releases on vinyl and I think this one will be the most difficult. Cheers!

The artwork is digital printed with poor quality and the sleeve is recycled. It's reversed from a Crimson Glory russian bootleg.
Despite to it's aspect, this bootleg has a very good sound quality.

Sounds good, except for the last track (low volume) and looks really good too. High quality counterfeit reissue!

Track 11, "What's The Use," is a bonus cut for the Japanese market (although I see it's listed on the 'Unofficial' UK vinyl, too).

Is this 2014 reissue a bootleg version? If anyone could help out would be great.
