#238 WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR SABBATH

Given that it was produced and released without the band’s involvement (and likely lacking the front to back awesomeness it would have otherwise possessed), WE SOLD OUR SOUL FOR ROCK ‘N’ ROLL was “technically” BLACK SABBATH’s 7th release; a greatest hits compilation covering “The First Six” albums from the legendary Ozzy Osbourne era of the band.   Having said that, we decided to build what WE believe woulda/coulda/shoulda been the perfect Black Sabbath compilation. And before anyone gets all twisted up and twanglified about our choices, “let it be known” that our selection criteria for this compilation was limited to songs from The First Six (some which were actually included on the original release of WSOSFRNR, including a few others we felt were essential) as well as a smattering of songs off the first two albums from the Ronnie James Dio era.   Get ready to find out what “sounds like 1973” as well as which song sounds like “bats flying around” and which instrumental is (relative to the songs before and after) analogous to” the white goo in the middle” of an Oreo that holds everything together.    Discover which KISS “after dark” merchandise item should belong to only the most dedicated fan, fire up the “boat internet” and learn about which countries seem “continentless” and which continent has “kangaroos that can beat up crocodiles” after “15 drinks a day” when you JOIN US for a look inside our OWN perfect 7th Sabbath album: WE SOLD OUR SOULS FOR SABBATH.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast   Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, Google Podcasts or wherever you get your Podcasts.
