original 47 year old pressings are THRASHED by now as it was a popular
party record back in the day, fewer remaining copies in collectible
condition are left... ....................................................................................................... Master Of Reality ...Titanic, on the eve of Armageddon, cranking it as the bomb drops... MASTER OF REALITY was
the third album by the British heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH, released
in 1971. The album's "darker" or "sludgier" sound was a significant
influence on later heavy metal genres known as doom metal and stoner
rock -- but in 1971, it was just HEAVY ROCK...and heaviest of rock
Sabbath were.... For the
recording of this album, guitarist Tony Iommi, who had injured his
fingers in a factory accident years earlier, decided to de-tune his
guitar down three semi-tones (or one and a half steps to C-sharp). This
reduced string tension, thus making the guitar easier for him to play.
Geezer Butler also de-tuned his bass guitar to match Iommi. The result
was a noticeably "darker" or "sludgier" sound. The
album's opening track, "Sweet Leaf," a salute to one of the band's
favorite smokeable substances, contains one of rock's heaviest guitar
riffs, courtesy of Tony Iommi. Another eternal band favorite is the
grim, post-nuclear war tale "Children of
the Grave." Vocalist Ozzy Osbourne is in fine voice on "After Forever"
and "Lord of this World," while the more tranquil "Solitude" and the
instrumental Iommi compositions "Embryo" and "Orchid" offer a bit of
variety. Though not quite as influential as PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY
remains one of heavy rock's founding gems. Sweet Leaf After Forever Children of the Grave Orchid Lord of This World Solitude Into the Void CONDITION: The Cover: rated: VG++ (graded as such as has a delete cut at bottom left) ... the ORIGINAL 1971 COVER with embossed (raised lettering) and otherwise CLEAN ...

While other
frontrunners of hard rock/metal like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple began
dabbling in other musical forms (folk and string symphonies,
respectively), Black Sabbath stuck close to its original direction and
was rewarded with several of the most enduring rock releases of all
time. Coming off the worldwide breakthrough of the band's 1971's
landmark, PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY (released the same year) proved to
be Sabbath's third classic in a row. Like all Sabbath albums of the
era, not a second of filler is present--even the lesser-known material
is superb.
