Black Sabbath - Iron Man The Best Of Black SabbathBlack Sabbath – Iron Man The Best Of Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath are set to play their comeback gig at the Academy in Birmingham on Saturday and this happens to be a warm up show for their massive headline appearance at Download festival this year where they are set to close the festival on Sunday 10th June and to coincide with this Universal Music are putting out another best of Black Sabbath titled ‘Iron Man The Best Of Black Sabbath’.

‘Iron Man The Best Of Black Sabbath’ is only getting an UK release and that is because Black Sabbath are handled by other record companies across the world and this release is more aimed at new fans who are attending the forthcoming UK shows.

Now ‘Iron Man The Best Of Black Sabbath’ features exactly the same track listing as the bands previous best of album but that album is now being withdrawn from sale with the new compilation replacing it, if you already own the original greatest hits then I would bother wasting your money on the same tracks with a slightly different bit of artwork but if you are yet to own a Black Sabbath greatest hits album or don’t know where to start when it comes to Black Sabbath then seriously snap this up as it has all the great songs from ‘Paranoid’, ‘War Pigs’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘The Wizard’, ‘Changes’ and many others.

Overall ‘Iron Man The Best Of Black Sabbath’ is a blatant cash in from the record label who hope fans will snap it up in their thousands on the back of the comeback shows but musically it is solid sounding and well worth the money if you don’t own these classic songs.

4/5
