Following their hugely successful tour this summer, Brummy rockers Black Sabbath will be releasing 'The Vinyl Collection: 1970-1978' , a limited edition box-set celebrating the iconic albums featuring the band's full original line-up.

Beginning with the band's eponymous debut album, the set includes 'Paranoid', 'Master of Reality', 'Volume 4', 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', 'Sabotage', 'Technical Ecstasy', and 'Never Say Die', before culminating in the only Black Sabbath live album to feature the legendary original line-up, 'Live At Last'. The 9-LP set features complete reproductions of the original LP album releases including posters and inserts, a hard-backed book containing all of the bands '70's tour programmes, plus a 7" vinyl of debut single 'Evil Woman' and non-album B-side 'Wicked World'. The set is completed by a 'Back To Black' download voucher allowing easy download of the complete box-set contents.



The group, which now consists of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne have just been voted the most important British hard rock act of all time in a poll carried out by the BPI of more than 3,600 hard rock/metal fans. They won nearly half of the votes with Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin coming in second - each taking one fifth of the votes.



'The Vinyl Collection: 1970-1978' will be available on the 12th of December priced at approximately £226.
