A pretty good compilation. The first three otr four Sabbath albums have set an impressive template and should be in every music fan's collection, irrespective of what may have happened subsequently. Bands from Flaming Lips to Sunn o))) owe them a huge debt.

Why? How many times can they package the same songs in a best of album. I love Black Sabbath but this is just another waste.

"Why? How many times can they package the same songs in a best of album. I love Black Sabbath but this is just another waste." I agree. They do the same thing with Led Zeppelin and it's a shame really because fans buy it thinking they're really getting a good deal.

They’ve sold over 100 million albums worldwide and have straddled a fair few ‘greatest’ lists in their 40-year history. Pic : Redferns
