{"product_id":"black-sabbath-past-lives-2cd","title":"Black Sabbath - Past Lives [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePast Lives brings together Black Sabbath's rawest live recordings from the Ozzy Osbourne years in one 2CD edition, and it's every bit as loud and thunderous as you'd hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst released in 2002, the set gave official status to live tapes that had long circulated among fans. The first disc is a 1973 concert recording, while the second gathers television and radio performances from the early-to-mid 1970s, catching the band in their prime, before the excesses of the later decade caught up with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTony Iommi's riffs are the star throughout, heavy enough to rattle the walls. \"War Pigs\" lumbers forward with doom-laden menace, Ozzy wailing over Geezer Butler's thick, rolling bass, while \"Snowblind\" shows the band's swaggering, druggy grandeur. \"Iron Man\" stomps in with its iconic riff, and \"Paranoid\" closes the first disc in a breathless rush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill Ward's drumming swings hard throughout, giving the longer jams an almost jazzy looseness at times, while Geezer keeps everything anchored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sound is rough around the edges in places, which only adds to the sense of menace and danger. For fans of early metal, this is the original band at full volume, unpolished and unstoppable, and a crucial companion to the classic studio albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518460862769,"sku":"602527499079","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Black_Sabbath-Past_Lives_2CD_f2a04774-86ea-4460-adcd-137224c70f07.jpg?v=1794678822","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/black-sabbath-past-lives-2cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
