Black Sabbath formed in Aston, Birmingham, England in 1966 originally named Polka Tulk Blues Band (soon shortened to "Polka Tulk"), and later were called Earth, playing blues rock and hard rock with the one and only Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, Ozzy says he was deeply influenced by The Beatles and his favourite album of all time is Revolver. An interesting clip of info about Tony Lommi, he lost the tips of two fingers on his fretting hand while working in a sheet metal factory. Initially, he forged himself prosthetics from a melted plastic detergent bottle. The injured fingers were understandably tender, so Lommi downtuned his Gibson guitar from standard E to C# (starting with the third album, Master of Reality). The reduced tension of the strings allowed him to play with less pain to his fingertips. Butler lowered his bass tuning to match Lommi's. The lower pitch gave the music a "heavier" or more substantive tone matching the music of the bands lyrics. Here are some of the “Black Sabbath” picture discs that are available;

“BORN AGAIN” – “HEAVEN AND HELL” – “LIVE IN LONDON & PARIS” – “MASTER OF REALITY” – “MOB RULES” – “NEVER SAY DIE” – PARANOID – “PAST LIVES VOLUME 1” – “SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH” – SABOTAGE – “TECHNICAL ECSTASY” – “VOLUME 4”
