Black Sabbath / The Vinyl Collection 1970-1978 limited edition box

By Paul Sinclair

Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are currently back in the studio recording a new Black Sabbath album. While we wait to see what comes of that, the band are releasing a limited edition vinyl set celebrating the classic 1970s ‘Ozzy-era’. Nine albums on 180-gram heavyweight 12-inch, with full reproductions of the original album packaging and inserts. The original master tapes were remastered at a 24-bit/96kHz resolution for this set, so they quality should be superb. This set is released on 12 December 2012.

Contents:

• Black Sabbath
• Paranoid
• Master of Reality (with poster)
• Volume 4 (with photo insert book)
• Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
• Sabotage
• Technical Ecstasy
• Never Say Die
• Live At Last

Also included is a seven-inch single featuring the band’s debut single Evil Woman and non-album B-side Wicked World. This set also comes with a 12-inch x 12-inch hard-back book containing original tour programmes from 1970, 1975, 1976 and 1978 as well as a voucher (“Back to Black Sabbath”) to download the whole set (file format unknown).
