Title: Black Sabbath – Master of Reality
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971, Metal, Heavy Metal, Birmingham, England
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Studio Lore: Iommi started tuning down because of fingertip injuries, and that practical workaround quietly became a defining technique other bands copied for decades.
-
Band Drama: Recorded while the band’s touring pace was brutal and drug use was escalating, setting a pattern of pressure that never really left them.
-
Album Art: The embossed black-on-black sleeve was a physical-object flex—minimal text, tactile design, and “dark” branding before metal marketing had rules.
