Recorded a week after Sabotage’s release, the band is absolutely bloodthirsty after being trapped in a studio for over a year.

The triple LP live set shows the band at their most pulverizing and crushing. What you’re treated with when you lift the lid is an extensively researched 40-page hardcover book, a rare copy of the program from the band’s 1975 show at Madison Square Garden, a huge 1975 promotional tour poster, a Japanese replica 7” single, the remastered version of the record and the real reason you will want this set: the first official release of their widely distributed bootleg Live in Asbury Park 1975.

4 box, I grabbed the LP edition this time around - with Sabotage, size really does matter. The following albums Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are widely regarded as garbage even by the most ardent fans, and most will probably give ’em the slip if they actually do get the box set treatment.Īfter making the tragic mistake of getting the CD edition of the Vol. While I consider it a great record, it would be the last good one that Ozzy would do with the band. This sixth Black Sabbath release is by no means a slouch in the Ozzy era. The label clearly knew they had a good thing going when these weighty boxes sold like hotcakes as they pretty rapidly released Sab’s sixth slab of ballast, 1975’s Sabotage. Warner/Rhino started releasing the Black Sabbath super deluxe box sets last year with their sophomore stomper Paranoid, followed by the aforementioned souped up set of their second greatest record, Vol. 4 a couple of months ago, but c’mon fuckos… it’s Sabbath, by gummy! “But Johnson, you already reviewed a Sabbath box set back in April!” Das right, Poindexter, of course I hipped you squares to the Sab’s monolithic super deluxe box set edition of Vol.

Okay, I know many of you avid readers of this dark corner of Cult MTL will get your taint chafed but this month I am going to look at the recent Sabotage box set from Beelzebub’s favourite lounge act, Black fucking Sabbath.
