    Timeless

    I was between the age of 11 and 13 years old when I first was introduced to Sabbath. I saw them in concert in 1978 and today this music is still great. Many young bands wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. During the time Master of Reality came out Sabbath were in true form. My suggestion is to buy all 8 albums with Ozzy. The proof that this music is timeless I have been listening to them for 40 years. The difference is a t-shirt and a program would cost about $8.00 or $9.00. Tickets would cost about $5.50. So, just buy them all and you may want to pick up the Spcial Edition color LP's. Sounds great and it takes me back when LP's are all we had.

    Riff Heavy Gem

    Master of Reality was Sabbath's 3rd studio album and , as such, often overlooked due to phenomenal success of the first two albums. However, Master of Reality is a riff heavy gem from Sabbath and, in my opinion, equally as good as if not better than the first album. "Sweet Leaf" alone would make this album worth buying but the other songs are all great songs as well.

    Classic Sabbath

    If you are into 70’s Sabbath then you know this is a must have. As Heavy and dark sounding as the previous Sabbath records.

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4   - VINYL LP
5.0(3)

Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Vol. 4 is the fourth studio album by Black Sabbath, released in September 1972. It was the first album by Black Sabbath not produced by Rodger Bain; guitarist Tony Iommi assumed production duties. Patrick Meehan, the band's then-manager, was listed as co-producer, though his actual involvement in the album's production was minimal at best. Rock critic Lester Bangs, who had derided the band's first two albums, applauded Vol. 4, writing in Creem, InchWe have seen the Stooges take on the night ferociously and go tumbling into the maw, and Alice Cooper is currently exploiting it for all it's worth, turning it into a circus. But there is only one band that has dealt with it honestly on terms meaningful to vast portions of the audience, not only grappling with it in a mythic structure that's both personal and powerful but actually managing to prosper as well. And that band is Black Sabbath.InchBlack Sabbath was formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist and main songwriter Tony Iommi, bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler, singer Ozzy Osbourne, and drummer Bill Ward.
