    Sabbath's most underrated album, probably because it doesn't sound like classic Sabbath. If this had been a Uriah Heep or Blue Oyster Cult album, people would rave about it.

          according to the notes in sales history it could be some kind of promo. possibly custom made and possibly has no value at all.

            Just checked selling history and found note "Original Anniversary issue - this was from a record reviewers collection - it has the original press release literature and glossy prom photo."
            It would be nice if someone add the photos.

              this album is always put down by so called sabbath fans they can have masters of reality which they rave about and i think its a rubbish album that ,,,this album on the other hand with sabotage and vol 4 are the best by far , it you have never heard this album listen now its bloody amazing and the black box remaster really kicks your brains out
