BLACK SABBATH – Sabotage (2021 Remaster)
Rhino Records are paying tribute to the patron saints of heavy metal BLACK SABBATH with a collection that includes a newly 2021 remastered version of the original ‘Sabotage‘, album along with a complete live show recorded during the band’s 1975 tour. The super deluxe package will be available as both a 4-CD set and a 4-LP set on 180-gram vinyl, as well as this standalone version.
There’s has been several ‘Sabotage’ remasters in the last two decades, however perhaps this 2021 is the best, with a much more detailed bass lines and cymbals.
Black Sabbath was embroiled in a protracted legal battle with its former manager in 1975 when the band started recording its sixth studio album, ‘Sabotage’. The group felt sabotaged at every turn – hence the album’s title – but that feeling helped fuel the intensity of the new music they were making.
In spite of the distractions, the band created one of the most dynamic – and underappreciated – albums of its legendary career.
Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward recorded ‘Sabotage’ in London and Brussels and co-produced the album with Mike Butcher. The eight songs were released first in the U.S. in July 1975, and then in the U.K. that September.
Certified gold in America and silver in the UK, Sabotage earned positive reviews for hard-hitting tracks like “Hole In The Sky” and “Symptom Of The Universe,” the epic ”Megalomania”, as well as more experimental music like “Supertzar,” which featured harp, Mellotron, and the English Chamber Choir.
A Classic, with a revitalized sound.
