Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
One can make the case that the Beatles, while the most important band of all time, wasn't the most influential. Decades after Black Sabbath laid down the commandments of heavy metal--lyrically, not for the squeamish; musically, dynamic and resolutely heavy--their impact remains improbably undiminished. One needed only to hear the first notes of the eponymous track on their eponymous 1970 debut to know that a new régime had arrived. And while one could (and should!) have mocked them, they would not be stopped. Black Box includes the eight albums recorded between 1970 and 1978 by the founding lineup--Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne, and Geezer Butler--in one suitably weighty package. Forgoing bonus tracks (aside from an entertaining but brief four-track DVD extra), the box is rounded off with an impressive 80-page booklet. While the foursome was considerably less fearsome by the time they checked out with Never Say Die, more than half of this collection represents heavy metal with a lasting impact. --Steven Stolder

- Ozzy Still Rocks !
I grew up in an era when Led Zeppelin , Deep Purple , and Black Sabbath were all starting to make it on the world stage I personally liked all three groups cos they were loud ,heavy and defined my music appreciation .There was a lot to like about Sabbath with outspoken lyrics & thumping music ,and guitar riffs that still sound fresh today !Over the years I have learnt to listen to their lyrics , and was surprised to realize that they w
ere not so anti religion, & they actually cared about the environment .In short Black Box covers the best years of Sabbath ,a must have for any true fan !

- Don't Be A Hater!!!
First, I was a bit leery about ordering this box set. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure it was worth it. Countless people complain about the spine of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I guess some issues of the box have the word Bloddy, well mine doesn't. Also, some say the 80 page book has photos of Mother Earth in it, mine doesn't. Also, there are complaints about the quality of the remasters. Some claim all they did was increase the sound. Well what did you expect, psychedelic separation? Black Sabbath, in my eyes, is the seminal heavy metal band. I don't think sound separation, and technical clarity would do them any justice. The point is, at the time Black Sabbath was the heaviest, dirtiest, rawest sounding band. I enjoy the ruff edges. If you want Pink Floyd or King Crimson, then buy their box set. But if you want the birth of metal, then buy this box set. Another complaint: No booklets in the digipaks. ... Read More

- The Whole Ozzy-era Sabbath With Remastered Sound!!
The ultimate way to have all these legendary albums!

In this box set are included the band's five classic albums "Black Sabbath" (1970), "Paranoid" (1970), "Master Of Reality" (1971), "Vol. 4" (1972), and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" (1973).
Plus the last three albums "Sabotage" (1975), "Technical Ecstacy" (1976), and "Never Say Die!" (1978) which are, in my opinion, very underrated for some reason! I found those three to be as good as the early ones! The reason for it is because these later albums has the band stretching out with the songwriting so the material is more varied. It's still early metal at it's finest while you get excellent ballads and the addition of keyboards on some songs add a unique sound to these last albums.

Also of note are the awesome, extensive liner notes which contain quotes from other group members like Hetfield, Hammett, Novoselic, Rob Zombie, etc. plus a bonus ... Read More

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2EE18PUB3IZEH I thought a video review would be a good way to showcase this amazing box set. I realized after I shot it that I totally forgot to mention the bonus DVD. That's absolutely included in the box, and can be found in the back of the booklet.
