{"product_id":"black-sabbath-black-sabbath-deluxe-2cd","title":"Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath: Deluxe [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Sabbath's self-titled debut is the sound of heavy metal being born, and this 2025 deluxe 2CD edition, a UK import in digipack packaging, pairs the original 1970 album with a full disc of bonus tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour musicians from Birmingham recorded it in a hurry and almost entirely live, with no idea they were laying the foundations for an entire genre. Tony Iommi's ominous riffs, Geezer Butler's heaving bass, Bill Ward's jazz-schooled swing and Ozzy Osbourne's haunted wail combined into something nobody had heard before: blues slowed down, darkened and made genuinely frightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening title track still raises the hairs on your arm, with rain, a tolling bell and that infamous tritone riff creeping in. N.I.B. follows Butler's bass flourish into one of Iommi's most swaggering grooves, while the rest of the album stretches out into long, heavy blues jams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second disc digs into the sessions. Wicked World, the B-side from the era, sits beside an instrumental take of the title track, a version with alternative lyrics and no rain, alternative mixes of N.I.B. and Sleeping Village, and Evil Woman, Don't Play Your Games With Me dressed up with horns and flute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who has worn out the original, these alternate angles feel like standing in the room as metal took its first breath.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478975815985,"sku":"4099964186956","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Black_Sabbath-Black_Sabbath_Deluxe_2CD.jpg?v=1794396763","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/black-sabbath-black-sabbath-deluxe-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
