Never Say Die: Black Sabbath's "Ultimate Collection" Chronicles Classic Era

October 5, 2016 By Mike Duquette 3 Comments

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON U.K.

As Black Sabbath reach the end of their final world tour--prepping a brief trek of North and South America in November and December and a final European trek in January and February--BMG in Europe will chronicle the group's classic lineup with a new compilation.

The Ultimate Collection gathers 31 tracks from the eight studio albums Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward released from 1970 to 1978. Hits and fan favorites include "Iron Man," "Changes," "War Pigs," "Paranoid," "N.I.B.," "Snowblind," and many more.

The classic quartet announced plans to reunite in 2011, but Bill Ward ultimately sat things out, citing a lack of "signable contract." The trio of Osbourne, Iommi (who successfully battled lymphoma) and Butler released 13 in 2013, a Rick Rubin-produced album which topped the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Ultimate Collection will be available overseas October 28 as a 2CD set or limited edition "crucifold" 4LP vinyl set.  In addition, Amazon U.K. is carrying an exclusive edition with a card wallet insert.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    ...or Sabra Cadabra, for that matter...anyone who enjoys the Sabs needs the first six albums in their entirety anyway.
