Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978)

Executive-produced by Sharon Osbourne, Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978) gathers and remasters 29 classic songs clocking in at more than 150 minutes created by the first - and most successful - incarnation of the Birmingham, England-bred band: vocalist John "Ozzy" Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler, and drummer Bill Ward.

Symptom of the Universe spans eight Black Sabbath studio albums - from their self-titled debut of 1970 (an album recorded in under 12 hours!), to their final studio long-player to feature Osbourne's vocals, 1978's Never Say Die!.

Featuring a detailed history by Mick Wall (author of Paranoid: Black Days With Sabbath and Other Horror Stories), Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978) includes the essentials - "Black Sabbath," "Paranoid," "Iron Man," "War Pigs," "Sweet Leaf," "Snowblind," and "Hole In The Sky." But also included are such noteworthy album tracks as "Sabbra Cadabra" and "Into the Void," as well as their rare cover of "Evil Woman," which was only included on the British album version of 1970's Black Sabbath.
