Reviews Customer Reviews for The Best Of Black Sabbath      a few questionable song choices      Rating:      If you're like me and all your old Black Sabbath is on vinyl, then this digitally remastered collection is definitely worth the purchase. The band has never sounded better. I do quibble with some song selections, however. While virtually all the classic Ozzy-era songs are here, "Evil Woman" (from the UK release of the first album) is largely forgettable and hardly one of Sabbath's best; the same goes for "Planet Caravan," "Don't Start (Too Late)," Am I Going Insane" and "Dirty Women." At the same time, the Dio era is barely represented at all ("Neon Knights" doesn't even make the grade!), there's just one tune featuring Ian Gillan, and there's nothing at all from the vastly underrated album The Eternal Idol featuring Tony Martin. Omitting some of those less-than-stellar Ozzy-era tunes and adding a few more from the 80's would have allowed for a more balanced representation of the band's career. At least with the Dio Years compilation now out, some of that imbalance has been addressed.     Customer Reviews for The Best Of Black Sabbath Cd      The Best Sabbath Compilation      Rating:      Starting with the first album and ending with Mob Rules this includes nearly all of the early Sabbath classics with Evil Woman, which was previously unreleasd in the US and even includes Zero The Hero from the Gillan period. Of all the compilations out ther this is the one that I always come back to. All these songs on 2 discs. Not perfect but better than the rest. Editorial Reviews for The Best Of Black Sabbath Audio Cd      Album Description      Specially priced two disc set featuring 32 classics from the world's greatest heavy metal band of all-time, Black Sabbath! Spanning 1970-1983, it contains the best from their first 11 albums, including 'Paranoid', 'Black Sabbath', 'Iron Man', 'War Pigs', 'Sweet Leaf', 'The Dark/ Zero The Hero', 'Supernaut', 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' & 'Heaven And Hell'. While the emphasis here is on their historic years with Ozzy Osbourne at the helm (widely regarded as their finest period), it also contains a handful of the standout cuts from the records the group cut with Ozzy's first two successors, Rainbow's Ronnie James Dio & Deep Purple's Ian Gillan. Digitally remastered from original tapes. Deluxe packaging including a limited edition slipcase also featuring a 4000 word essay by Hugh Gilmour and rare photographs. Digitally remastered. Slimline double jewel case.
