Black SabbathAmazon. com Some might claim that this 1970 debut is the definitive Black Sabbath record. While the gothic overtones of the opening track, "Black Sabbath" (thunderstorms and foreboding church bells introduce Ozzy Osbourne's howl and Tony Iommi's sludgy guitar), and the raucous defiling of Cream on "N. I. B." were thrilling then (and remain so now), there is too much wanking here to really qualify the collection as the must have Black Sabbath record.
