Black Sabbath (Official Thread)

Yeah I think it's just fine as it is. By any chance did you happen to get or hear that deluxe version of Born Again. Was it re-mixed or just remastered. I forget now.

Haven't heard any of their remixed or remastered albums, just the original. I would love to acquire a copy of it.

Recently picked up Mob Rules and that one is another monster album.

My favorite Dio-era Sabbath track. Really ticked me off when I heard about "the Dio Years" being released a few years back and this outstanding track was blatently missing from the list.

It was rainy evening. I was alone in my home. I turned on Black Sabbath in Winamp. These bells, rain, creepy atmosphere... I was scared as hell! But from day to day I was listening to Black Sabbath more and more. And after couple weeks they became my favourite heavy metal band.

I love almost all songs from Ozzy Era. My favourite albums are Volume 4 and Never Say Die!. I also like differential style on early albums - you can find heavy/doom/progressive metal and blues rock as well.

 

[Riff Raff]

Off a rather displeasing Never Say Die I do take a few good songs from it.

^^^My least fav. Sabbath other then Forbidden but I still like it. It has grown on me over the years.

My friend and co-worker ( early 60's ) brought in a lamented Black Sabbath flyer he got from seeing them in 1970 at the Whiskey. He wanted to show it to me because he knows I'm a huge fan. It's pretty cool, it has a description of the kind of music they play on it, because no one knew who they were yet. It says something like "Witchcraft from England, Mystical and Intriguing"

I will try to get him to take a shot of it, and email it to me, so I can post it here. He already said he will but hasn't.
