Ozzy Era Sabbath - Looking for a recommendation

[PaulHikeS2]

Looking to add a Sabbath record to my vinyl collection. I already own Paranoid, Vol. 4 and a greatest hits compilation in digital format but am looking for a good start to finish album that will be mostly new to me. Any recommendations?

 

[Dogs of Doom]

Master of Reality

& the 1st LP

 

[DreamerDeceiver]

x2 MOR

Sold Our Soul For Rock & Roll is sort of like a greatest hits compilation from that era

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and as DOD said Master of Reality. The first one is must have.

My favorite Sabbath album is Vol 4. I am in a Sabbath Tribute Band.

Never Say Die. Lol.

Kidding.


I'd do Volume 4.

You can flip the coin and never be wrong on Ozzy era Sabbath albums ... and despite what @Sapient said, I wouldn't overlook Never Say Die, nor would I overlook Technical Ecstasy ... both are kick ass albums!

Never Say Die is one of my favorite Sabbath tunes:

Never Say Die is one of my favorite Sabbath tunes:

Btw., I hadn't watched this video until tonight ... is Iommi playing a Les Paul? Sure looks like it!

Sweet Leaf. Other than that, you'd have to skip to Dehumanizer for the good stuff.

That's pretty cool.

Nope , Volume 4 was the end of a era. If you listen to the drums on the first 5 recordings you will notice Bill is abusing them , after that not so much.
I like Sabbath and I saw them on never say die. Many good tunes after the first 4 but different. Imho

Bands start off heavy , record company’s want commercial success. Face in palm

Exactly. The first 2, and of them I like Master of reality best.

played the crap out of them when I was a kid.
