Title: Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1970, Metal, Heavy Metal, Birmingham, England
Condition: G + just a few skips

Cultural Facts:

1. Studio Lore: Recorded fast on a tiny budget in a couple days; the label pushed speed, so the album is basically a captured moment, not a sculpted one.

2. Scene Ecology: Came from Birmingham’s working-class club circuit, where loud blues bands were reacting to industrial life, not chasing London’s art scene.

3. Notable Myths: Ozzy’s “satanic” reputation got inflated by press fear—much of it was shock imagery layered onto a band that was closer to horror-movie fandom.
