〕 |rev2 = ''The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' |rev2score = }} ''Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970–1978)'' is a collection of the first eight albums by the heavy metal band and a DVD of 4 videos. The set contains the albums recorded with original singer Ozzy Osbourne, who was fired in 1979 after completion of the band's ''Never Say Die!'' tour. This marked the end of the group's original line-up that featured Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. All eight albums are digitally remastered and repackaged in mock vinyl LP packaging, including an 80-page booklet with liner notes written by Henry Rollins, Chris Welch, and Brian Ives. The discs included in the set are as follows: *1970 ''Black Sabbath'' *1970 ''Paranoid'' *1971 ''Master of Reality'' *1972 ''Black Sabbath Vol 4'' *1973 ''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'' *1975 ''Sabotage'' *1976 ''Technical Ecstasy'' *1978 ''Never Say Die!'' *2004 Bonus DVD: Tracklist: #"Black Sabbath" #"Paranoid" #"Iron Man" #"Blue Suede Shoes" They are represented as they appeared when first released, with the exception of the debut album, which has a revised track order as it includes both the song "Evil Woman" from the original European LP—deleted from North American editions because of copyright problems—and "Wicked World", which was substituted for it. The discs are kept in digipak cases, with all original LP artwork intact. The CDs themselves are entirely black, but retain the lettering used for each individual release, as opposed to a uniform stylized font. True to its title, the nine discs are housed in a solid black case, complete with gothic imagery and lettering. Inside, there are two smaller boxes containing four CDs each. Also enclosed is a booklet, which contains the DVD in a sleeve attached to the inside back cover. The booklet traces the entire history of the band, with essays, interviews, timelines, and the lyrics to every song personally checked by Geezer Butler, the band's main lyricist. Previously, a 1996 remastered box set had been issued by Castle Communications, which used unknown source tapes and did not involve any input from the band. For the Rhino set, all of the songs have been digitally remastered from the original Warner Bros. tape archives, as was the earlier Rhino compilation ''Symptom of the Universe''. ==Personnel== ;Black Sabbath: *Geezer Butler - bass *Tony Iommi - guitar *Ozzy Osbourne - lead vocals *Bill Ward - drums, percussion ;Additional: *Rick Wakeman - keyboards, organ, synthesizer (''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'') *Gerald Woodruffe - keyboards (''Technical Ecstasy'') *Don Airey – keyboards (''Never Say Die!'') *John Elstar – harmonica (''Never Say Die!'') *Dan Hersch, Bill Inglot – remastering 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970–1978)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
