We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll gathers the essential Ozzy Osbourne-era Black Sabbath in one place, and this CD edition puts the thunder of the band's first six albums within easy reach.
Released in the mid-1970s, the compilation arrived at a turning point, closing the book on the band's run of early classics just as heavy metal was becoming a genre of its own. For a generation of young rock fans it was the front door to Sabbath.
The selection reads like a field guide to the riff. "Paranoid" is still a two-and-a-half-minute panic attack, "Iron Man" lumbers in on Tony Iommi's famously monolithic guitar, and "War Pigs" turns wailing sirens and Geezer Butler's anti-war lyrics into a slow-burning, apocalyptic epic.
"Children Of The Grave" gallops on Bill Ward's thundering drums and a riff that has been borrowed by half the metal bands that followed. Elsewhere the set leaves room for the band's darker, stranger corners, a reminder that Sabbath were never only about volume, and that Ozzy's eerie wail could haunt a quiet passage as easily as a loud one.
For newcomers it is the quickest route to where heavy metal began, and for longtime fans it is a reminder of how much ground four musicians from Birmingham covered in a handful of years.
