SOME INFO ABOUT THIS RELEASE FROM THE INTERNET Line-up: Geezer Butler, bsgtr/ Toni Iommi, gtr/ Ossie Osborne, voc, harm/ Bill Ward, dr. Production: Rodger Bain for Tony Hall Enterprises. Cover-art by Bloomsbury Group. Photography (poster) by Marcus Keef. Liner notes: none. Cover manufactured by Howards Printers. Recorded at unknown. Track listing A-side: Sweet Leaf (Black Sabbath)/ After Forever (Toni Iommi)/ Embryo (Toni Iommi)/ Children Of The Grave (Black Sabbath). Track listing B-side: Orchid (Toni Iommi)/ Lord Of This World (Black Sabbath)/ Solitude (Black Sabbath)/ Into The Void (Black Sabbath). There is no running time anywhere. There are no composers credits on the label, they are on the backcover. The printing year is omitted on the label. The label of the B-side has reversed colours. The Vertigo logo on front is purple. Matrix number A-side: 6360050 1Y//1 ?420 1 1 3 Matrix number B-side: 6360050 2Y//1 ?420 1 1 1 Rarity scale: R3 (complete with poster, otherwise R1) A leap forward for the Sabbs, no doubt. The interplay is more mature, as After forever will easily prove to you. There is even room for some acoustic guitar!Solitude could almost have been a Jade Warrior outtake. Rumbling train-riffs adorn Children of the grave, an appeal for universal love, housed in dark cloth. On the other hand there are the ominous repetitions of Into the void. It's diversity of sorts, but also a fork in the road: will they fall back on trodden paths or develop an even richer sound? Time will tell... And another great packaging! The cover is a box that can be opened on top to reveal not only the record, complete with ''negative'' printed B-side label, but a large poster too. The laminated cover has embossed lettering in purple and black on a black background, simple and effective. The backcover holds the lyrics (are these occult dilletantisms coming to a head, or is it philosophical maturity?). The lettering is the image and yes, that works well, although the scan proved nearly impossible to make. On the poster the band poses in all shades of brown under large trees, a fabulous shot.
