According to youtube we will know about the Ten Year War on the 22nd.

 

Black Sabbath: The Ten Year War

 

For a little while i thought they might finally release a 70's live box set.

Oh, the rarities? "The extremely rare The Ten Year War brochure, reproduced from the original publication."

Boring.

 

I was hoping they would release the CD they were selling at the concerts.

 

They are certainly in the running for most frequent re-packaging of back catalog material by any artist in the history of music.....




Fresh from receiving the "Golden God" icon award at this year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods , BLACK SABBATH has announced "The Ten Year War" — a limited edition vinyl box set, released September 29 via BMG, that brings together their eight Ozzy-fronted albums, plus a swathe of other rarities, all housed within exclusive artwork created by renowned street artist, graphic designer and activist Shepard Fairey.

Despite BLACK SABBATH's multi-million selling albums and rabid fan base throughout the seventies, this adulation wasn't always mirrored by the music press at the time. The band received more than their fair share of criticism, prompting them to publish "The Ten Year War" brochure; a playful dig at journalists with the witty tagline "more good press than most — more bad press than any." The brochure is reproduced in full for the box set and is one of the many exclusive items held within that also includes:

8 x vinyl LPs meticulously reproduced in their original sleeves, remastered by renowned mastering engineer Andy Pearce from the original tapes and pressed on 180 gram splatter-colored vinyl, each LP with unique and individual colouring.

* Black Sabbath
* Paranoid
* Master Of Reality (including original fold-out colour poster)
* Vol. 4
* Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
* Sabotage
* Technical Ecstasy
* Never Say Die!

2 x rare 7" singles, reproduced in their original sleeves:

* Japanese version of "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games With Me)" / "Black Sabbath".
* Chilean version of "Paranoid"/"The Wizard" (only 100 copies of the original radio promo were pressed).

Crucifix-shaped BLACK SABBATH USB stick, exclusive to this box set, which can be worn round the neck and contains MQA high definition audio of the first eight BLACK SABBATH albums.

The extremely rare "The Ten Year War" brochure, reproduced from the original publication.

Hardback book, featuring accolades from the cream of rock royalty, coupled with official and candid iconic photography of the band during their 1970s tours, recording sessions and photo shoots.

"Tenth Anniversary World Tour" 1978 official program, impeccably reproduced.

Reprinted tour poster from the 1972 Seattle Centre Arena show.

Box set is individually numbered.

Da, da, dadadaaaa, da, da, da, da-dadadaaaaa...

 

Gee! That would be perfect for my collection. I don't have any music by Sabbath yet but I'm keen on exploring their works soon.

 

The Ozzmeister....

 

If you can find it, the Ozzie's greatest hits album, or CD is a good place to start.

 

Ah geez. Another damn thing I can't afford.

 

Same here but let's hope for a prize drop.^^

 

Too bad they won't be doing a version for non-vinylites--like maybe just selling the USB stick separately.

 

I'm underwhelmed. Something I haven't heard before from some time after 1978, please.

 

It'd have to be in free-fall for me to afford it. It looks like it's going to list for about $300, if it were $150 I might have a chance in hell of being able to justify it.

 

Sign me up....again......again....again......again.....again......again.

 

Boring.

 

Looks real cool but I don't need to buy these albums any more for real this time.

 

Just download the HDTracks versions or buy the 2016 CDs. It probably will be the same mastering.
