Features an alternate mix of Black Moon and the b-side Cloak & Dagger. The 2010 deluxe edition included the original versions but for those of you who missed out on that, here it is.Ī two-song single released by I.R.S. Definitely worth a listen.Īrguably the best post-Ozzy Sabbath record, The Eternal Idol was actually recorded with a different vocalist (Ray Gillen) before getting re-recorded and remixed with Tony Martin after Gillen left the band. This is a collection of live recordings with him and they are rippers. He toured with them for a few years in the ’80s and even recorded a version of The Eternal Idol with them (see below). Ray Gillen is the least talked about frontman that Sabbath ever had. This set of demos is rough but worth a listen for the unreleased jams and original versions of some of the albums best tracks. Initially meant as a solo Iommi LP, through label intervention it eventually became the follow up to “Born Again”. Quality isn’t as good as some of the others but totally listenable. Can’t fix that art though.įucking awesome recording of Sabbath with Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillam and probably the only time you’ll ever hear them play “Smoke On The Water”. While this collection probably won’t change anyone’s mind on the record (I personally adore this one), this boot is notable for including an unreleased song (The Fallen) and for its rougher mix which arguably fits the songs better. Orchid/Rock & Roll Doctor/Don’t Start (Too Late).A must-have.Īnother must-have for its exhaustive length and one of Ozzy’s angriest sounding recordings. One of the most famous Black Sabbath performances in existence.

This one is ripped from the German TV show “The Beat Club” and is notable for its high energy and for being the only known recording of Sabbath covering “Blue Suede Shoes”. Early Morning Blues (Rehearsal Outtake).Unlike the rest of the links in this post, this one has been cleaned up and remastered by yours truly. All in all a fun dive into the earliest days of one of the most important bands to exist. The other two songs are great too, though the quality is severely lacking. “The Rebel” is one of the catchiest and funnest songs they ever recorded and “Thomas James” is a blistering avante-garde jam with Tony Iommi shred-battling a trumpeteer. These are the earliest living recordings of the grand-pappies of metal. I don’t use bootlegs from audience sources as they sound like dogshit, so everything below is either from a studio recording or ripped directly from the soundboard. This is by no means a comprehensive post (there is enough out there floating around for me to do at least 3 more posts), but this is a collection of the most listenable and unique recordings the band has out there. Instead I will let the bootlegs below do the talking. I am not gonna talk about how massively influential or awesome Black Sabbath is, because you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t know that already.
