Black Sabbath - Past Lives

180-gram double LP

Featuring the hits "Paranoid," "Sweet Leaf," "NIB" and "Snowblind"

Black Sabbath are bringing their first three albums back to stores. Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970) and Master of Reality (1971) are getting the deluxe reissue treatment on Jan. 22, two days after the band launches its The End tour in Omaha.

These three expanded editions, available as double LP sets, will be joined by a reissue of the 2002 live collection Past Lives, which collects concert recordings from 1970-75.

While Sabbath invite fans to celebrate their back catalog, they've reportedly opted against putting together a follow-up to 2013's 13, which marked singer Ozzy Osbourne‘s first full-length effort with the band in 35 years.

Captured during what many consider the 'golden age' of Black Sabbath, the recordings on Past Lives show a band moving along the fast track like a runaway train. This live collection is both bombastic and unrelenting. In some respects, Black Sabbath classics such as "Sweet Leaf," "Children of the Grave," "War Pigs" and "Paranoid" sound even more haunting and powerful on this set because of the transcendent live energy that pervades these songs.
