Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Box

Formed in Birmingham, UK in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath are often cited as the pioneers of heavy metal. The band helped define the genre with releases such as Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970), and Master of Reality (1971). After previous iterations of the group called the Polka Tulk Blues Band and Earth, Sabbath settled on the name Black Sabbath in 1969. They distinguished themselves through occult themes with horror-inspired lyrics and tuned-down guitars. This 6 (!) CD box set features legendary live broadcasts from the 70s-90s.
