Info:
Formed in Birmingham in the late 1960s, Black Sabbath would rapidly ascend to become towering figures of the music they helped to invent: heavy metal. Blending powerful guitar riffs with a heavy rhythm section and lyrical themes of the occult, drugs and all things dark, Black Sabbath broke through in 1970 with their self-titled debut album and its hit single, "Paranoid". They then rode the crest of the wave of British metal that rose up in the 1970s, recording one classic track after another ("War Pigs", "Sweet Leaf", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath") until lead singer Ozzy Osbournedeparted for a solo success in 1979. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s,their line-up went through numerous changes, to include at various points Deep Purple's Ian Gillan and Ronnie James Dio. The Best Of Black Sabbath is their most comprehensive greatest hits compilation to date. This 32-track, 2-CD set gathers all of the best-known songs from early Sabbath's now-classic line-up, while still finding space for a few live tracks and some later, post-Ozzy recordings ("Heaven And Hell", "Turn Up The Night" and "The Dark/Zero The Hero").The Best Of Black Sabbath is an essential introduction to some of the finest works of these rock pioneers.
