TURKEY, GREECE, PORTUGAL, LEBANON
It is virtually impossible to obtain
reliable information about swirl pressings from these four countries.
Until now
we have found few releases only.
From Turkey we have encountered one single (without a picture sleeve), as shown below. But we also have confirmation that both 6059 002 (Black Sabbath Evil woman/ Wicked world) and 6059 010 (Black Sabbath Paranoid/ The wizard) were released with a picture sleeve in Turkey.

The matrix number of this single has no country code and reads: 6059029 - 1 - 1 CLS and 6059029 -2 - 1 CLS. A Turkish collector states that this is a Turkish release. Maybe the ''Inter.'' at 10 o'clock is a clue? |
Black Sabbath collectors state without any
doubt that this picture sleeve for 6059 002 originates in Turkey. |
From Greece we have
seen just 1 album, this time without any doubt a Greek release. Sorry
for the terrible scan: not made by us, of course.
From Portugal we have up till now only found a few single releases as shown below. There is no country code, but the label says unmistakenly ''Made in Portugal'' at 9 o'clock or ''Philips Portuguesa'' on some others (see label scan below)
And the picture sleeve gallery from Portugal:
From Lebanon we have found two singles and a one album..
We have received information that there should be a Lebanese release of 6059 027 Warhorse St.Louis/ No chance, but we haven't actually seen this.
Anyone who owns any information on swirl releases from these four countries is invited to contact us...

The wording ''Made in Greece'' at six o'clock leaves little doubt where this was manufactured. The cover is similar to the British issue. |
