Editorial Review:
Black Sabbath-the Black Sabbath, the original lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, four childhood friends from the north of England-grew out of the U.K's late-60s blues/hard rock scene, which also included Led Zeppelin, Cream, Blue Cheer, and other greats. Sabbath's sweeping and masterful metamorphosis away from that tradition spawned heavy metal music, inventing the template for everything that would follow. With crushing rhythms, torpedo riffs, haunting songs, and Ozzy's other-worldly vocals, the band conjured a dark, menacing, and resonant sound that reverberates still.
Greatest Hits 1970-1978 Reviews:
Excellent compilation 
2009-11-23 - Oh, Iron Man is chopped in half ... oh, oh!! You've got more than 79 minutes of music shoe-horned onto a disk and still some people manage to complain. Yes, part of a solo is excised and the song fades after three and a half minutes - just like it is supposed to. What you are listening to is the "single" version of Iron Man, released some 38 years ago by Warner Bros. Back then, radio didn't play six minute long songs. If you ask me, it's still a lot of music for the money.
Black Sabbath 1970-1978
2009-11-20 - In my opinion, this was Black Sabbaths reigning time! They sounded the best, there music was amazing! The music isn't altered at all. Ozzy sounded incredible! This is the album to introduce to any potential Black Sabbath fan!
sabbath,s best of with ozzy. 
2009-09-07 - for the most part this black sabbath best of compilation is pretty good considering it has most of the best stuff from the ozzy era,however like alot of other reviewers, i think the edited version of iron man is disappointing!! this cd should have included the long version of that song, even if it meant cutting a song like dirty women out of this collection. which i think is the weakest song on this cd.i wish black sabbath would release affordable remasters of the ozzy era stuff like they did last year [2008] with the dio era stuff.
great cd, another great compilation
2009-03-31 - this cd i found to be one of my favorite cds, by black sabbath. it has some of the best songs, by the band with no doubt. the sound is awesome on all my audio cd players. tony iommi is one of the most innovative, talented guitar players i have ever heard. also what great guitar tone he has always had. butler and ward are also very remarkable,and of course ozzy is great for that style music. this cd to me was a must have to add to my collection. i am very happy i own this cd.
Ozzy Years 
2009-02-23 - This CD showcases metal legends Black sabbath 1970s period with the now rich and famous Ozzt Osbourne his stint on vocals for this group. It stands well they picked the 3 classic tracks from their self titled debut- The Wizard, N.I.B and Black Sabbath. War Pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man from that classic album. also featured are some cuts from their last two less than stellar Ozzy albums. Overall, We Sold Our Soul for Rock N Roll is better, but this is o.k.
