One 2015 UK/European 180-gram vinyl reissue of Black Sabbath’s self-titled debut album, released by Sanctuary Records/BMG, with the sleeve and record both in Near Mint condition.
Description from the seller
The landmark 1970 debut by Black Sabbath, here presented as the official heavyweight 180-gram vinyl reissue from Sanctuary Records and BMG (BMGRM053LP). Released on Friday 13 February 1970, this album stands as the birth of heavy metal itself—a groundbreaking work that fundamentally altered the course of rock music. Recorded at Regent Sound Studios in London and produced by Roger Bain, the album captures the extraordinary chemistry between Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward at the precise moment of their creative ascendancy. From the unforgettable thunder and church bells that open the title track to the towering riffs of N.I.B., the harmonica-driven The Wizard, and the extended blues improvisation of Warning, the seven-track British programme establishes a completely new musical direction. The gatefold sleeve retains the iconic and haunting cover photograph by Keith Macmillan, depicting a mysterious woman outside Mapledurham Watermill—one of the most recognisable images in rock history.
