Black Sabbath – Sabotage

The volume goes up and down on some tracks on my copy. The record LOOKS pretty clean, but could this be a deeper issue?

This is a good pressing. I have a 1A 1A that is quite used but it still sounds really nice. However, I think the Japanese SP18 pressing is the best one followed by the UK and US originals. The Bellman Rhino pressing is also excellent. Not sure if I prefer it over the OGs. Sounds a little different but quite nice. Better than the recent box set reissue.

Are this release and this one here the same issue??

Can't see any difference between the 2 issues.

Recommended, fantastic pressing.
I went from a USSR version to this and can’t tell you how happy I am.

Picked this up in the hopes that it was made in Spain and sounded amazing. It does not. A bright, fatiguing listening experience. Would not recommend.

Great sound on this Scandinavian pressing. Sounds better to my ears than the UK press, which is also not bad.

Excellent edition, quiet in pauses and great sound.
Do not regret the purchase.

Underrated Black Sabbath album for sure, and this UK press sounds absolutely fantastic as well - love it!

Bad paper but excellent sound quality pressing, worth every cent

Sounds great, little surface noise, and the mixing is excellent. I think it could have done without some of the corny interviews printed inside the gatefold, and the printing on the innersleeve to appear like the master copy is poorly printed/looks a bit pixelated, but the actual record sounds awesome. I'd recommend this pressing - seems that there is some deliberation on who actually pressed this version. I purchased my copy in April 2023 for reference.
