The Eternal Idol (140g Red Vinyl)

Cranked this up on the turntable and the 140g pressing feels solid, no warping out of the sleeve. The red vinyl pops against the black label, and the sound is clean for an ’87 Sabbath mix. Wish the inner sleeve were a bit sturdier, but the music’s what matters.

The red translucent vinyl looks stunning spinning on my turntable, and the sound quality is noticeably cleaner than my old cassette version. Tony Martin's vocals really cut through on this pressing.

I’d been hunting for a decent copy of this album for years, and the 140g red vinyl feels solid and plays with minimal surface noise. The translucent red is a nice touch too—catches the light well.
