Black Sabbath Unveil Giant Box Set Reissue of ‘Sabotage’
In the latest line of massive Black Sabbath album reissues, the classic Sabotage has been remastered and packaged with a wealth of extras, including a full live set from 1975. The 4-CD and 4-LP/ 7″ sets arrive on June 11 through Rhino Records.
Sabotage, Sabbath’s historic sixth album, is largely regarded as the capstone of a remarkable album streak that began five years earlier when metal’s godfathers dropped their self-titled debut.
The eight-song record has been remastered for this special edition release, which also includes a copy of the original album master, in addition to 13 previously unreleased recordings that make up most of the live set taken from Black Sabbath’s 1975 North American tour.
Also packaged in the forthcoming release is a replica concert book from the band’s show at the legendary New York City venue Madison Square Garden, a 1975 color tour posted, in-depth liner notes, rare photos and press clippings from the era.
Earlier this year, a special edition box set of Sabbath’s Vol. 4 was released and the first two albums from the Ronnie James Dio era — Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules — received a reissue as well. Read Loudwire’s interview with Tony Iommi about the Dio era reissues here.
