Whilst not a necessity, I purchased this on record one boring, rainy Saturday many, many years ago for around £3.50, and it saved my day at the time.It's a ten-track 'best of' record, which in reality, should have been far more adequately prepared, although its saving grace is the wonderfully grim cover depicting hordes of skeletal figures slaughtering a coastal village.
There are so many cuts that could've been on here, but what we do get are the usual monsters, from 'Paranoid', to 'War Pigs', to 'Sweet Leaf', 'Iron Man', 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', et al, with the only surprises being 'Tomorrows Dream' and 'Laguna Sunrise', but then again, these kind of albums come along pretty frequently now, but none of the modern day regurgitation's will have the same effect this album had on that dismal Saturday afternoon.
8/10
