Nodferatu

ok i want to buy the ozzy years of black sabbath, i only have 1 of their cd's its a best of album, but i want to buy all the ozzy (early original line up) albums i went to black sabbath.com and went onto the online store and i see there is a ''Black Box:The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978)''

or there is this one '' Black Sabbath [cross box]

just wondering if anyone on here has either of them? are either of them even worth buying or you think they are a bit gimmicky with a hefty price tag? or should i just buy them cd's individually on ebay/amazon they'd prob work out cheaper each!!!

Depends if you are into all the extras or not, if you are I'd prob go for the first one. If it's just for the music I'd go to Play.com and buy them all individually. Postage is free also.

I have them all on vinyl but I am stumped seeing some of the titles of the songs, Jack the Stripper (sounds like an AC/DC song), Luke's Wall, A Bit of Finger, Under the Sun.

On a side note, am I the only person who likes Technical Ecstasy?

hmm.. im not so much bothered by the DVD or the fancy packaging, actually all the Cd's look like their in those cardboard type cases which will tatter an or tear if used and handled enough. i went onto play.com and your spot on i can buy em dirt cheap it'd work out cheaper, roughly 6.50 a CD or something. do you know if those 2009 remasters are good?

HMV were doing the 2009 remasters (the ones in the replica vinyl sleeves etc) in the 3 for €20 sale just before Christmas.

Feck the Ozzy line up when will they get around to re-releasing Headless Cross, Tyr, Cross Purposes and Forbidden?
