From: Sami Nurmela ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BLACK SABBATH DISCOGRAPHY v.3.4 5-OCT-1992 ---------------------------------------------- by Sami Nurmela, University of Turku, Finland Send any additional information to SNURMELA@KONTU.UTU.FI or SNURMELA@FIRIEN.BITNET Info on singles is especially needed, as the singles-part of the discography is currently quite sketchy. An asterisk "*" indicates the source of songlist (the US and UK releases of some albums have different songlists). On those albums where the band members are not listed, you can safely assume that the band is the same as on previous album. Singles are listed at the end of the discography. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A big thank you to those who have helped me to compile this list: Steve Boswell, Per Henrik Lofgren, Maurice Maes, Daniel Rench, Thomas Rodgers, Peter Gutmann, Per Andersson, Jason Rupe, Ralf Wirth ===================================================================== 1970 Black Sabbath 6.20 Black Sabbath 4.22 The Wizard : Wasp 9.44 : Behind the Wall of Sleep : Bassically : N.I.B. 4.30 Wicked World : A Bit of Finger 14.32 : Sleeping Village : Warning [The following are the contents of WWA release, WWA 006 and NEMS release, NEL 6002: 6.20 Black Sabbath 4.22 The Wizard 3.40 Behind the Wall of Sleep 5.58 N.I.B. 3.20 Evil Woman, Don't Play Your Games With Me 3.50 Sleeping Village 10.30 Warning ] Tony Iommi - lead guitar Geezer Butler - bass guitar Bill Ward - drums Ossie Osborne - vocals, harmonica All selections written by Iommi/Osborne/Butler/Ward [except "Evil Woman" - Wiegard/Wiegard/Waggenor (by band called Crow from Duluth, Minnesota) and "Warning" - Dunbar ] Produced by Roger Bain for Tony Hall Enterprises Engineers: Tom Allom/Barry Sheffield - LP Vertigo V06 (UK 1970) * LP Warner Bros WS 1871 (Canada) LP WWA WWA 006 (1974) LP Nems NEL 6002 (UK 1976) LP Nems NEL 6017 (UK 1980) LP Vertigo 832702-1 MC RCA MC F7420 (1980) MC Vertigo 832702-4 CD Vertigo 832702-2 1970 Paranoid 8.49 War Pigs 2.45 Paranoid 4.26 Planet Caravan 5.47 Iron Man 4.46 Electric Funeral 7.06 Hand of Doom 2.27 Rat Salad 6.07 Fairies Wear Boots [The Warner Brothers version lists the first instrumental section of "War Pigs" as "Luke's Wall," and the end section of "Fairies Wear Boots" as "Jack the Stripper."
