More Sabbath Details Emerge

Those Black Sabbath reissues we mentioned yesterday now have official track lists and more information surrounding them.

Sanctuary/UMe (U.K.) will release deluxe editions of Seventh Star (1986) and The Eternal Idol (1987), each with a bonus disc. Seventh Star, intended to be a Tony Iommi solo album but reconfigured into a Black Sabbath LP at the label’s request, features ex-Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes on vocals. The next Sabbath LP, The Eternal Idol, featured vocalist Tony Martin, a last-minute replacement for vocalist Ray Gillen.

It’s Gillen who’s the focus of these reissues, though; the Seventh Star bonus disc features the late Badlands vocalist in a live set from June 1986, while The Eternal Idol reissue has the first official release of the widely-bootlegged version of the album with Gillen’s vocals instead of Martin’s.

Both titles are due in the U.K. on October 25. The full track lists – slightly different to yesterday’s post – are after the jump.
