Title: Black Sabbath - Italy 1973
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1973, Metal, Heavy Metal, Birmingham, England 5/26
Condition: New (VZ) | Members: Ozzy O (48' - 25'), Tony I (48' - ), Geezer B (49' - ), Bill W (48' - )
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Tony Iommi lost the tips of two fingers in a factory accident as a teenager, forcing him to invent a heavier playing style out of injury.

2. Scene Ecology: A 1973 Italy set catches Sabbath before heavy metal had hardened into a rulebook, when blues, occult fear, and industrial Birmingham still bled together.

3. Band Drama: This era carried the classic lineup at full power, but drugs, exhaustion, and control issues were already building toward the fractures that later split the band.
