Hawkmarty SUBS 22nd Jun 2020		@Quad5point1 You've added the wrong composers to Evil Woman. Now edited to Wiegand, Wiegand and Waggoner.

ajtharp 14th Feb 2020		Black Sabbath's debut album was released 50 years ago today!!!



Hawkmarty SUBS 24th Oct 2014		RC magazine made a real hash of the top 11 Sabbath rarities in the November 2014 issue. There are 2 entries for the "2nd pressing" of this LP with £100 difference in the price. There's no mention of the spaceship Vol 4 but they have Paranoid on that label for £70! There are 2 entries for Vol 4; one with gatefold sleeve and booklet and the other for a "1st pressing" even though all pressings had a gatefold sleeve and booklet up until late NEMS issues. And finally, they don't even specify which label Evil Woman is on. Now people with the Vertigo version are going to think it's worth £100. Try finding a Fontana copy for that.



Hawkmarty SUBS 27th Sep 2013		More details: The original issue label had the larger swirl logo over the spindle hole and "A Philips Record Product" under the Vertigo name. The gatefold sleeve has the black inner gatefold and no song writing credits on the sleeve, as image 2699. The next variant omits the "A Philips Record Product", as image 2701 and was in the same gatefold sleeve. The next variant has a smaller swirl logo and the Vertigo name above the spindle hole. The gatefold sleeve has the black inner gatefold and adds the song writing and publishing credits for Evil Woman and Warning on the sleeve. The warning notice at the end of the text also changes from "Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings" to "Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings" The final Vertigo variant is the spaceship label with the same sleeve as the last swirl variant.
