Black Sabbath Expand ‘Sabotage’

Black Sabbath’s next expanded edition will be the 1975 album ‘Sabotage’.

‘Sabotage’ was the sixth Black Sabbath album. (This reissue comes after the recent expanded ‘Volume 4’. There is no obvious order to the reissues).

The title ‘Sabotage’ was used because at the time the band was being sued by a former manager. “It was probably the only album ever made with lawyers in the studio,” drummer Bill Ward said. Ozzy Osbourne has said that “writs were being delivered to us at the mixing desk”.

The song ‘Am I Going Insane (Radio)’ was thought to be a radio edit by the band said the term ‘Radio’ is rhythming slang for ‘mental’ (ie: Radio-Rental).

Have a listen to this spanking brand new remix of ‘Am I Going Insane (Radio)’.

One of the highlights of the ‘Sabotage’ was the 9 minute 46 second ‘Meglomania’, a song about the legal issues at the time.

Super Deluxe Edition Of The Band’s Sixth Album Features Newly Remastered Original Plus Full Live Show Recorded During 1975 Tour
Both 4-CD And 4-LP + 7-Inch Versions Available via BMG On June 11

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
