Sam is probably my favorite singer of all time. He wasn't a big screamer, and he didn't need to be. His vocals were very subtle and full of nuances, and he would always hit the right note. My favorite album of his is Night Beat.

I don't care for Hard Road or the last two songs, but the rest has some great songs.

It took me til 85

Excellent album.

Just to give Martin a plug, his excellent book on Ronnie Montrose, "Rock the Nation" is a must read for all Ronnie fans! 🎸

Its like watching your ex wife have kids with another dude. Ozzy and Dio had their time before the divorce to make a couple kids. As Tony Martin put out amazing music, he showed he could do all eras well.

Witness is still my favorite

Nice one Phil between you & Pete Pardo you've convinced me & I've just ordered it 😊 I was on the fence until now.

Any chance of the live Bursting Out review?

Another outstanding review Phil; you know I’m gonna get it.

Hi Phil, Thank you for your perfect review and wonderful analysis or story. You convinced me to buy the vinyl super deluxe boxset 😁👌! It’s quite the same price as the CD one (80€). I guess I would appreciate the artworks and design more 🤘. I also have the previous cd remaster that sounds great. Thanks. Up the irons and hello from France 👋🤘

Does the man who sold the world

Still a bit iffy 👍🎸

Have to agree 100% Roland, Nightwish are brilliant and Wacken has to be one of the best live shows ever.

Great review Phil. Love this style of music from this part of the world . I'll check it out. Greetings from Western Australia Have a wonderful day Phil ❤😂

That Nightwish set is excellent 😂❤

What ? No Parliament?

Great album and review ,thank you ❣️ Greetings from Bavaria ❤🔥 ✨ 🎶

I received the compact disc box set of this title from a friend in the business. Through my partner he was able to give me this set when he heard of my love for Sam Cooke. So fortunate to have this title in my collection. This music is uplifting and speaks to the spirit in many ways. Thanks for reviewing the vinyl edition!

Tony Stark likes this album.

I Like this Album ....... I think it is Good.

Black Sabbath............................... Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and what about keyboard? and recording no heavy petting ?thats classic !

Nice breakdown, and interesting hearing your perspective. This album came out the year I first heard them. I had just started playing guitar after hearing Electric Funeral for the first time and picked up their whole catalogue. I really appreciated how they didn't have one particular music lane but always switched it up. I really liked a lot of the sound textures on this as well as on Sabotage and Technical Ecstacy, and interestingly enough the one I listened too the least was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath which took me a while to appreciate. Thank you Tony for opening the door to me (and many more) for becoming a musician, definitely one of the players on my personal Mount Crushmore.

Great review! This is my favorite Sabbath album for many reasons that you cite, but it's also just drenched in melancholy and grief. I love it!

I was 20 when it was released. Loved it! More experimentation, as with the previous album, that works. Glad you are now onboard! And, I'm jealous of your Hard Road purple single.

Loved both this album, and Technical Ecstasy from their initial releases. Side one is as good as any Sabbath album. So evocative Phil! A generation almost living the same life. I was 17 in 1978, so it was all UFO, VH, Styx & Sabbath. What I wouldn’t give for: - all my past editions of Sounds - my denim jacket & embroidered badges - all the programmes However, the memories trump them all thankfully! -

I have been enjoying your content very much. Very knowledgeable and passionate about all this great, timeless music. Excellent job, sir.

Fantastic reveiw ,and a great story thanks for this.

Phil have you listened to/reviewed Hell, Fire, and Damnation? Just might be better than Carpe Diem. Cheers!

Now you're talking my language... I played my mom's 45's as a kid and Band of Gold is why I got a Bass at 6 years old.

I loved this album and Technical Ecstasy, I think it would have been 83 that I got my hands on it, I was 15 years old. My first Sabbath Album was the best of album We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll. I was a fiend for them, loved the albums with Ronnie too especially Mob Rules, still love that album.

Technical Ecstasy is indeed a really good record! Never Say Die! sounds very lacklustre in comparison, sorry, Phil. But loved hearing about your background to the album, amazing how you can remember all the details, I feel like I'm there in 1978 with you 😎

Best two songs are the first two songs?

Which number did you get on your BMG box? Mine is 1021 🤘

This album sounded like a precursor to Ozzy's solo career. Very pop but still dark and somewhat heavy. Great record all around. Everyone played superbly.

Phil your killing my pocket with all these great Box Sets. Another one on my list to Santa Claus.

For me,the best track of this album is born again
