EXTD=Originally Released March 14, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Somewhere in every good music fan's basement is a worn-out copy of either the vinyl, eight-track, or cassette of Black Sabbath's We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll. The 1976 compilation capture
EXTD=d the darkest and beefiest moments from the Ozzy years and served as a right of passage for millions of aspiring musicians, burnouts, pastor's kids, and closet miscreants. Rhino's 16-track Greatest Hits 1970-1978 anthology only trumps the single-disc
EXTD= We Sold Our Soul CD by two songs, but it offers superior sound and features at least a few cuts from 1976's Technical Ecstasy and 1978's Never Say Die!, the band's last two pre-millennium Ozzy records. All of the faves are here ("Paranoid," "War Pig
EXTD=s," "Iron Man"), as well as fan classics like "Hole in the Sky" and "Supernaut," but there is enough material missing to call it a sampler rather than a "best of." Fans who are unwilling to shell out the extra money for Sanctuary's superior two-disc 
EXTD=Sabbath collection from 2005 will find this sparse yet solid overview to be a useful "CliffsNotes" rendering of the birth of heavy metal.  -- James Christopher Monger\n\nAMAZON.COM Product Description\nBlack Sabbath-the Black Sabbath, the original li

EXTD=weeping and masterful metamorphosis away from that tradition spawned heavy metal music, inventing the template for everything that would follow. With crushing rhythms, torpedo riffs, haunting songs, and Ozzy's other-worldly vocals, the band conjured

EXTD=ed what was the meat of the band BLACK SABBATH in their original line up.. sure there was a lot left off of that hits package, but at least they didn't chop IRON MAN in half... (actually I could do without that song, but like I said.. I've been down 
EXTD=for years, newbies should hear the WHOLE F'in song, its like the door to SABBATHNESS..) \nI saw this disc in the store the other day, and I had to pick it up and look and see. Whatever man.. this is like the seventeen billionth version of an original
EXTD= SABBATH greatest hits disc ever released. It has HOLE IN THE SKY but no SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE... it has the same hits from the S/T, PARANOID, MASTERS OF REALITY, VOLUME 4 that the others had, and it contains a few throw away tracks from TECHNICAL 
EXTD=ECSTASY and NEVER SAY DIE, oh yeah and IRON MAN is edited to make room for \nROCK AND ROLL DOCTOR. You COULD buy this album, but then again you could do a lot of things that I wouldn't advise... it's your life, man. \n\nSmells like Sharon Osbourne if

EXTD=lf, it isn't even faded properly, but what a mistake. The target audience of this i would presume is either completist Sabbath collectors who buy everything(like myself) or novice fans who will make this their first and only Black Sabbath purchase. P
EXTD=erhaps the greedy witch Sharon wants them to buy the previously released double greatest hits cd or maybe even the $100 black box to get the full version of Ironman. What a disgrace! I wonder if Ozzy and the other Sabbs(Tony, Geezer & Bill) know abou
EXTD=t this? Sharon Osbourne as chief power broker of all things Sabbath is the best and worst thing that has happened to the band. They've received lots of pub and a myriad of product releases that only a few years ago seemed unthinkable. On the other ha
EXTD=nd, they, because of her, now seem as just another money grubbing band looking for one more payday. You want more stuff; OK, but you're going to pay big time! I could imagine what is next to be released by the witch. 1. Color version of "Never say di
EXTD=e" from BBC's Top of the pops, 2. 1974 Cal Jam, 3. 1975 Rock Concert followed by each one they did thereafter, 4. How about Sabbath ballads from 1970-78. Disgraceful. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGood intro for casual fans like me, March 15, 2006
EXTD=\nReviewer: Kevin M. Antonio\nBeing a casual fan of Black Sabbath I thought this would be perfect for me... \nBUT... \n... even I knew something was wrong with "Iron Man". It just fades out. Criminal! They could've left another song off to get the co
EXTD=mplete version of "Iron Man". It's only one of their most famous songs. \nI think, eventually I may pick up 'Symptom of the Universe', but for now 'Greatest Hits' will have to do. \n\nAs for the music itself, pretty primal stuff. Bill Ward verges on 
EXTD=being a heavy jazz drummer, and depsite Tony Iommi's solos, I think Bill's drums are the lead instrument. \nOzzy's voice was made for metal... almost makes me forget his rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"... almost. Some of the lyrics can be 
EXTD=eyeroll inducing, as on "Sweet Leaf" where Ozzy sings, "I love you, though I know you can't hear me." All I could imagine was 'Mary Jane' thinking, "I'm a freaking herb! I can't hear anything!" \n\nAll in all a good intro to a great band.\n\nAMAZON.C
EXTD=OM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGet the two-disc Symptom Of The Universe collection instead, March 14, 2006\nReviewer: Darth Kommissar (Las Vegas, NV (USA))\n\nINTRODUCTION: \nBlack Sabbath. The classic metal band comprising Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Bill Wa
EXTD=rd, and Tony Iommi is one of the greatest rock bands of all time - and no one will deny it. Over the years, the band's music has more than stood the test of time. Although the band also did no shortage of music with singers other than Ozzy, it is the
EXTD= Ozzy material that has kept them in the spotlight over the years. As such, it is what most compilations represent. The band recorded eight albums with the Ozzman, and in 2006, the band released a new, single-disc hits compilation that covered the cl
EXTD=assic lineup era. Read on, and see how Black Sabbath's Greatest Hits measures up! \n\nOVERVIEW: \nBlack Sabbath: Greatest Hits 1970-1978 was released in America on March 14, 2006. The compilation consists of sixteen tracks on a single compact disc, w
EXTD=hich were taken from the eight albums the band recorded with Ozzy Osbourne as lead vocalist - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Volume Four, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and Never Say Die!. \n\nREVIEW: \nThe release 
EXTD=of this compilation was totally unnecessary. Four years ago, the record company released a two-disc retrospective of the Ozzy Osbourne Black Sabbath years that blew this one right out of the water, making this release totally obsolete before it was e
EXTD=ven released. The obvious verdict is to buy that one instead. But, just the same, I'll go through the compilation, and tell you where it succeeds, and where it fails. \n\n-BLACK SABBATH- \nTracks Here: Black Sabbath, NIB, The Wizard \nComments: The b
EXTD=and's first album is actually emphasized very well on this compilation. These three songs are the biggest hits and all-around best tunes that it featured. No complaints here. A great way to start the compilation. \n\n-PARANOID- \nTracks Here: War Pig
EXTD=s, Paranoid, Iron Man \nComments: The good news? These three classic songs, the biggest hits Black Sabbath ever have, are on the compilation. The bad news? They omitted Fairies Wear Boots, the other huge hit from the album! I'm glad to see these clas
EXTD=sics make the cut, but without Fairies, the compilation just doesn't seem right. It's a Sabbath masterpiece that belongs on every compilation. And while we're on the subject of disappointments, WHY THE HELL IS IRON MAN EDITED!? \n\n-MASTER OF REALITY
EXTD=- \nTracks Here: Sweet Leaf, Children Of The Grave \nComments: These songs were the two big hits off of this album, and it's only appropriate that they made the cut. I would have liked to have seen After Forever, Into The Void, and Lord Of This World
EXTD=, but there's only so much you can do with eighty minutes, and as such, I think the record company really did make the best choices they could from this album. \n\n-VOLUME FOUR- \nTracks Here: Snowblind, Supernaut, Changes \nComments: Once again, the
EXTD= record company selected the biggest hits off of the album - and they're masterpieces that deserve their place here. Unfortunately, there were so many more songs from the album that deserved a slot here, but were deprived. Where, may I ask, are Wheel
EXTD=s Of Confusion and Tomorrow's Dream? Good song choices, but I definitely miss the omitted cuts. \n\n-SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH- \nTracks Here: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath \nComments: This album was a Black Sabbath masterpiece. SO WHY IS THE TITLE TRACK THE O
EXTD=NLY TRACK INCLUDED!? No National Architect, Spiral Architect, Sabbra Cadabra, Looking For Today, or Killing Yourself To Live? Give me a break. This album needed way more emphasis than just one song. \n\n-SABOTAGE- \nTracks Here: Hole In The Sky \nCom
EXTD=ments: It's the same scenario here that it was with the previous album. The song they chose was great, BUT THEY ONLY CHOSE ONE FROM THIS ALBUM!? I can't forgive the omissions of Symptom Of The Universe and Am I Going Insane - two of the biggest hits 
EXTD=and best Black Sabbath songs. Sabotage deserves more credit than this. \n\n-TECHNICAL ECSTASY- \nTracks Here: Rock And Roll Doctor, Dirty Women \nComments: Many people jeer this as the Ozzy-era Black Sabbath's worst album. I, and all of the true Blac
EXTD=k Sabbath fans out there, feel it is an underrated masterpiece. These are good songs, but I totally disagree with these two selections. Back Street Kids, Gypsy, and She's Gone all would have been better choices than these two cuts. \n\n-NEVER SAY DIE
EXTD=!- \nTracks Here: Never Say Die! \nComments: It's the same story all over again. Good album, but one track just doesn't cut it. I was very disappointed to see one of my personal favorites, Johnny Blade, didn't make it on here. If they were just going
EXTD= to pick one song, this was a good choice, but I still don't think one song is enough. \n\nOTHER COMMENTS: \nThere's really not a whole lot else I can say about the compilation, other than the omission flaws and such I have already listed. I am actua
EXTD=lly very pleased that the record company put the songs in the original release order - something too many compilers fail to do when creating retrospectives for musicians. One little annoyance I found about the compilation was that Dirty Women was pla
EXTD=ced AFTER Never Say Die. For the compilation to be totally in chronological order, the order of these tracks would need to be reversed, with Never Say Die closing out the set. No big deal, I just found it a little annoying. The butcher job on Iron Ma
EXTD=n is probably the biggest disappointment, though. \n\nOVERALL: \nMy final verdict is a simple one. If you only want to buy one Black Sabbath collection covering the Ozzy years, get the two-disc compilation the record company put out four years prior 
EXTD=to this one. It's impossible to tell the story of this classic era of the classic heavy metal gods with a single disc. I LOVE Black Sabbath, and It's safe to say the band deserves better than this. My conclusion? This set's for casual fans only. \n\n
EXTD=EDITION NOTES: \nThis compilation is a brand new release, at the time I write this compilation. As such, you shouldn't have any trouble finding it in any store that has a decent-sized music selection. The two-disc compilation is also still in print, 
EXTD=so if you'd prefer it (like I do), it shouldn't be hard to find either. \n\nHalf.com Album Notes\nBlack Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass guitar); Bill Ward (drums, percussion).\n\nProducers: Rodger Bain; Patri

EXTD=ompilation ever released that focuses on a band in its prime . It would seem nearly impossible to top, but Rhino's GREATEST HITS 1970-78 may have done just that. The uninspired title aside, GREATEST HITS is an essential document if for no other reaso
EXTD=n than, unlike SOLD OUR SOULS, it encompasses the band's entire run with the Ozzman at the helm, featuring songs from 1976's TECHNICAL ECSTASY and '78's NEVER SAY DIE.\nWhile "Dirty Women," Rock 'n' Roll Doctor," and "Never Say Die" can't compete wit
EXTD=h earlier Sabbath classics (including axed S.O.S. cuts "Fairies Wear Boots" and "Tomorrow's Dream") they're solid tracks that help to create a complete picture of the band up to Ozzy's departure in 1979. In addition to the aforementioned songs, GREAT
EXTD=EST HITS also adds VOL. 4's blistering "Supernaut," an undisputed metal masterpiece. While SOLD OUR SOULS will always be the heavyweight champ of hits collections, GREATEST HITS 1970-78 is a can't-miss set for fans of Ozzy-era Sabbath.
