Black Sabbath's first album
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Black Sabbath 1970 (UK)
This record marks the debut not just of Birmingham UK's most notorious band, but of "Heavy Metal" itself. Released on Friday the 13th in February 1970, this marriage of gothic atmosphere, doomy subject matter and extreme sonic heaviness was really only ever topped by Black Sabbath's second album "Paranoid" later the same year. I remember as a kid all those "Rolling Stone Encyclopedia Of Rock"-type books always gave Black Sabbath's albums (and also KISS and other heavy bands) ratings of one star or less! Nowadays the critics fall over themselves fawning about the genius of these guys.  Clearly, they were ahead of their time.
