1983 album featuring Deep Purple's Ian Gillan in Ronnie Dio/Ozzy's shoes. Tracks:- Trashed - Stonehenge - Disturbing The Priest - The Dark - Zero The Hero - Digital Bitch - Born Again - Hot Line - Keep It Warm. Not the greatest album by any means, but with hindsight an interesting experiment- general feeling is, it's a competent Metal record but it just doesn't sound like Sabbaf. Famous also for its accompanying tour with 'Stonehenge' monument which was so large it couldn't get inside most UK indoor venues. Sound familiar in a 'none more black' kind of way?
The first eight (and best) Sabbath albums all featuring Ozzy in miniature original LP sleeves and housed in an silver embossed box with a 16 page picture booklet. Over eight albums Sabbath crossed from late '60's heavy Satanic Acid Rock through all out mind shattering doom, through progressive heavy rock to complex heavy progressive proto-metal. Brilliant albums, each & every one!
1987 album, with Sabbath's 3rd new vocalist in a row, Tony Martin (unless you count the other three that joined but never officially recorded). Still hard & heavy, but with a far more 'modern' sound. Tracks:- The Shining - Ancient Warrior - Hard Life To Love - Glory Ride - Born To Lose - Nightmare - Scarlet Pimpernel - Lost Forever - Eternal Idol. The start of stability for Sabbath again- aside from a laughable Clear Channel-instigated reunion with Dio in 1992, Martin would remain constant with the band until the return of Ozzy in the late 90s, thus making him ironically the vocalist who has recorded the second greatest number of albums with Sabbaf!!
180 gram vinyl pressing of the first album the group made when Ozzy left the band for the second time in 1979, he left a group whose internal disputes had reached sky high levels. However, the band was soon revitalized by the former Elf and Rainbow singer, Ronnie James Dio, who gave Iommi and Butler such good vibes and new input that BS released their best work since their early masterpieces. 1980's Heaven and Hell brought Black Sabbath a new battalion of younger fans and restored the energy they had started with in 1970. Tracks like the album opener, "Neon Knights," the almost gothic "Children of the Sea," and the title track set the new pace for the brand new giants of HR.
1980 album & the first to feature Ronnie James Dio (ex-Rainbow/Elf) on vocals.(poisoned dwarf) Some great riffs from Tony Iommi! Tracks:- Neon Knights - Children Of The Sea - Lady Evil - Heaven And Hell - Wishing Well - Die Young - Walk Away - Lonely Is The Word.
The Definitive master class with Tony Iommi. Inventor of the Heavy Metal guitar sound which powered Black Sabbath to world fame and inspired a host of copyists.Using his own examples Tony explains how Black Sabbath wrote, worked and played together. Also featured is archive footage of vintage black Sabbath live on stage and the previously unreleased promo videos of "Headless Cross" and "Feels Good To Me".This version is PAL region 0 stereo disc
Long overdue live album from the classic Sabs line-up recorded on 1973 S.B.S. tour. A superb set of timeless classic tracks:- Tomorrow's Dream - Sweat Leaf - Killing Yourself To Live - Cornucopia - Snowblind - Children Of The Grave - War Pigs - Wicked World - Paranoid.Fully detailed booklet.
This was the first official Black Sabbath live album, featuring Ozzy before he left/was kicked out the band and was released in the UK in 1980 (although the recordings are from 1973) and captures the masters of metal in a top performance thanks to their powerful classics such as "War Pigs," "Paranoid," "Sweet Leaf" and "Children of the Grave." and a primitive version of "Killing Yourself to Live"180 gram with PVC audiophile dustsleeve.
1981 live album and the last to feature Ronnie James Dio. Ironically, most of the songs date from the Ozzy years, allowing Dio to stamp his own authority on the classics. Tracks:- E5150 - Neon Knights - NIB - Children Of The Sea - Voodoo - Black Sabbath - War Pigs - Iron Man - Mob Rules - Heaven & Hell - Sign Of The Southern Cross - Heaven & Hell continued - Paranoid - Children Of The Grave - Fluff.
A live performance from THE band from Paris in 1970,(2 tracks appeared on the Vol 1 DVD) but now you get the whole thing from the intoduction,to the set opener (at the time) "Paranoid" into "Hand of Doom","Iron Man","Black Sabbath","NIB","Behind the Wall of Sleep","War Pigs" and finally "Fairies Wear Boots".This is stunning stuff and will not hang around for long.No frills ,no gimmicks just loud hard bloooze rock from the 70's.They don't make em' like this anymore.
Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne maintained their peerless tradition of hard rock anthems on their third album (1971), which ranged from the guitar riff magic of "Sweet Leaf" to the majestic "Children Of The Grave". Essential stuff!
Beautiful 180 gram pressing in PVC audiophile dustsleeve of this fantastic 1971 release (3rd Studio effort).The band were fresh and had a seemingly endless supply of crushingly heavy riffs to bludgeon the listener into sweet willing oblivion. Tracks like "Sweet Leaf", "Into The Void & the massive"Children of the Grave" make this a monster of an album.This masterpiece reached the Top Ten on both sides of the Atlantic selling over a million copies. This re-issue has the elusive poster and top folding embossed sleeve that very seldom turns up these days.

Ronnie James Dio's (twat) second Sabbath excursion (1981) was the band's most blatant encounter with satanic rock. Notable for the hit single title track, the frenetic "Turn The Light Up" and for the one-album-only percussion powerhouse of Vinnie Appice. Tracks:- Turn Up The Night - Voodoo - Sign Of The Southern Cross - E5150 - Mob Rules - Country Girl - Slipping Away - Falling Off The Edge Of The World - Over And Over.
Recorded live in 1978 this film was lifted from the bands final world tour with Ozzy. Opening with the blinding "Symptom of the Universe" this captures the mighty Sabbath in triumphant form as they pull out all the stops in a set that also contains "Snow Blind", "Black Sabbath", "Dirty Women", "Rock & Roll Doctor", Electric Funeral", "Paranoid", "Children of the Grave" and more. Aspect ratio 4:3,Dolby Digital 5.1surround & 2.0 Sound PAL Region 0
The 1978 album that saw Ozzy return to the Sabbath fold after having left the group on the previous tour. Although certain hardcore critics were unkind, at the time, there are some real gems here, such as the title track,Hard Road and 'Air Dance'. This is the closest the band got to prog. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
1978 album which featured the top ten single "Never Say Die" the top 20 single "Hard Road" and Ozzy's last call before being sacked (not bad for a band on the brink of collapse).An interesting album with the use of more instruments than ever before and still contained the amazing "Junior's Eyes", the freaked out "Johnny Blade" and more.
Still regarded by fans as their finest hour, Sabbaths second album (and it's title track single) took the group onto Top Of The Pops, and knocked Simon & Garfunkel out of the No.1 position! Includes War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Iron Man, Electric Funeral, Hand Of Doom, Rat Salad and Fairies Wear Boots.Extensive booklet with period photo's and information. CLASSIC

Contains classic Sabbath tracks such as "Cornucopia" , "Snowblind", "Hole in the Sky" & the groundbreaking "Symptom of the Universe" making it's first official appearance on a live album from Black Sabbath! Disc one is the "Live at Last" show DISC 2 IS ALL UNRELEASED and contains storming coked out versions of "Hole In The Sky","Behind The Wall of Sleep", the staggering "Megalomania" and more.Deluxe booklet.
To complete your collection of Black Sabbath at the peak of their history, it is absolutely necessary to get your hands on this double album, for the first time on vinyl, originally released on CD in 2002. The enhanced and re-mastered version of Live At Last (1980,although recorded in 1973) Past Lives , featuring a new bonus LP, takes you by the hand through some of the hardest gigs of the true doom masters between 1970 and 1978, this time offering the listener a more accurate and complete retrospective of what the combo could do live, especially before wives got involved. Tri-fold cover with a 16 page book of photos,printed inner sleeves and housed in a PVC jacket.
Rare live show recorded in 1970 in Berlin. So-so sound quality, nice cover and track listing as follows: Paranoid, Iron Man, Guitar solo / Black Sabbath, War Pigs, Hand of Doom / Rat Salad & NIB. The band at this period of their career (2 albums in) could not be bettered live.
Their 1973 album saw the mighty Sabbath incorporating synths and a new sense of light & shade into their music, without sacrificing any of their intensity. Contains the stunning anthemic "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Sabra Cadabra" and "Killing Yourself To Live".This album is a reefer and headphones job - infact it's the album that headphones were invented for.Extensive booklet with period photo's and information.
180 gram re-issue of Black Sabbath's 5th from1973 and this was essential Sabbath for any self-respecting fan and one of the genre's defining moments. Although the presence of Rick Wakeman of Yes on keyboards and Will Malone's string arrangements marked a slight change(more progressive) in direction for the band, the album (their fifth straight Top Ten million-seller) is still vintage Sabbath by anyone's standards. Featuring the classic title track and the deliciously synth filled "Sabbra Cadabra". Original beautiful artwork printed inner sleeve and PVC dust sleeve.
1975 album and their first after leaving Vertigo, explored the outer limits of mental anguish,psychological disintegration and poor management(hang on, this all sounds familiar).Contains the classic "Symptom Of the Universe" the mega "The Writ" and more. A highly influential record to this day and a immortal template for metal merchants!Excellent booklet detailing the making of the album and period photographs.Mega album.
This classic 1975 album includes the superb "Symptom Of The Universe", featuring both Geezer Butler's writing at his best and an excellent performance by Tony Iommi. The rest of the album takes us down a new path marked by the sound evolution that began with 1973's Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath. Although tracks like "Thrill of It All", "The Writ" and "Megalomania" are still recognizably "Sabs", comprehensively this is an unorthodox album that dares to take hard rock into uncharted waters.Housed in a PVC dustsleeve.
Tony Iommi's 1986 album with Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep Purple)... Still heavy, but with a blues influence. Tracks:- In For The Kill - No Stranger To Love - Turn To Stone - Sphinx (The Guardian) - Seventh Star - Danger Zone - Heart Is Like A Wheel - Angry Heart - In Memory. By now essentially a solo project, (in fact Iommi wanted this to be a solo album but the company insisted on calling it Sabbath) our Tone was still churning out slabs of quality hard rock, but the gap sonically between this and 'true' Sabbaf was really starting to show. Lineup also includes Geoff Nicholls (keyboardist since Heaven and Hell) Dave Spitz (brother of ex-Anthraxer Dan) and future Kiss/Alice Cooper stixman Eric Singer. FACT: Glenn Hughes quit during this tour because he wasn't allowed to play bass ('too funky'-Iommi) and, not helped by vast quantities of drugs, went to pieces trying to sing without an instrument! Some people. . .
Superb LP reissue of the 1976 release that saw the Sabbs continuing to refine their sound and vision, while maintaining their reputation for mighty riffs and doom laden songs. "All Moving Parts" added a little funk to their menu, whilst "Rock 'n' Roll Doctor" flirted with boogie-woogie. Original artwork and PVC sleeve.

The ultimate Sabbath collection, this 4 CD set covers every period of their career, from the classic line up of the '70s, to the final 87 album with only guitarist Tony Iommi left on board. 54 tracks of metal heaven!!
Despite the inclusion of an acoustic instrumental "Laguna Sunrise", and "Changes" Sabbath's fourth album (1972) was stuffed full with heavy, heavy riffs, such as "Supernaut", "Cornucopia" and "Tomorrow's Dream". This might be the heaviest Sabbath album of them all and the best?
One of the greatest rock/ heavy metal albums ever made (fact). This classic Sabbath album, originally released in 1972, was the band's 4th album in just two years and although "Wheels of Confusion," and "Changes" find the band experimenting with their sound, songs like "Supernaut" prove that Sabbath can still deliver the goods. Original gatefold artwork, including the original four full page colour photo insert. Classic Ozzy / Butler / Iommi / Ward line-up and housed in a PVC dust sleeve.
Originally released on Dec. 1, 1975 this Double LP captured the best of Black Sabbath from the Ozzy era. 17 tracks from the band's first 6 albums, relying heavily on Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Vol. 4., plus 4 tracks from Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Master Of Reality.The set comes complete with printed inner sleeves ( which were originally the inner booklet) and a PVC dust jacket.
The finest, loudest and heaviest moments from the "Black Sabbath", "Paranoid", "Masters Of Reality", "Vol. 4", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Sabotage" albums make up this brain-crunching compilation, which also includes their debut single "Wicked World".
