Product Description
Brand New ~ Sealed! 180 Gram Vinyl Reissue Edition Of The Amazing Fifth Black Sabbath LP! Gatefold Cover Reproduces Original Artwork Including Inner Sleeve With Lyrics.
‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ was released on 1 December 1973 and was immediately heralded by the previously reluctant Rolling Stone magazine as “an extraordinarily gripping affair” and “nothing less than a complete success”. The album reached number 4 in the UK charts and 11 in the US charts, where it would go on to achieve platinum sales success. From the grinding riff of the opening title track, the album showed that despite the band pushing back musical boundaries, they’d lost none of their aggression. “A National Acrobat” and “Sabbra Cadabra” (the latter, which featured Yes keyboard player Rick Wakeman, was famously covered by Metallica a quarter of a century later) were equally heavy, imposing tracks, whilst “Killing Yourself To Live” and the sci-fi themed “Spiral Architect” rate as some of the band’s best tracks. The gentle acoustic guitar work of “Fluff” could be heard as fans filed out of Black Sabbath gigs the world over. Little wonder some claim ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ is the greatest album that the ‘classic’ line-up recorded. This is an album that oozes class from start to finish.
