Black Sabbath First Album Deluxe Edition Review

This is a video review of the 2009 2 CD "Deluxe Edition" release of the first, self-titled Black Sabbath album.

UPDATE: After I filmed this, I decided to look into the price to import it from the UK to the US. Given the current rate of exchange as of Aug 18th, it would cost $22.20 to buy it from Amazon's UK store and have them ship it to the United States. Given the value of this package, I say it's worth every penny.

UPDATE 2: Minor updates to my review. The book I mention towards the end is not Mark Weiss, he was the photographer, I believe. And the poem from the original release *IS* here, but not the upside down cross. That was my error.

John 3:16 - For God so Loved the Earth that he gave his only begotten son that whomever believed in him would not die, but have everlasting life! Praise God!

Keep up the great work with your site. 80-ies Sabbath rules and thanks to your site this will not be forgotten.

In response to your comment about the Deluxe banner. That's unique to expanded album releases by Universal Music Group, similar to Sony's the Essential series. UMG owns the rights to the UK Vertigo/Castle/Sanctuary catalog, which is good news for us because we get cool expanded albums.
