BLACK SABBATH - SABOTAGE (180 GRAM VINYL)

Released on 28 July 1975, Sabotage is the sixth studio album by Black Sabbath. It was recorded in the midst of litigation with their former manager Patrick Meehan. The stress that resulted from the band’s ongoing legal woes infiltrated the recording process, inspiring the album’s title. It was co-produced by guitarist Tony Iommi and Mike Butcher.

For the second time, a Black Sabbath album initially saw favourable reviews, with Rolling Stone stating ‘Sabotage is not only Black Sabbath’s best record since Paranoid, it might be their best ever.’ Later reviews were also favourable; Greg Prato of AllMusic said that ‘Sabotage is the final release of Black Sabbath’s legendary First Six’.
