Studio Album

Hey! You forgot something – what is this album I have here?!?

The albums in the section above are the “Official” Black Sabbath albums. If it’s not listed here, then it’s not an “Official, band sponsored album”. That doesn’t mean it’s illegal, but lots of things like record label greatest Hits albums (the NEMS one springs to mind) fall in this category. I get a lot of emails saying “You’re missing this album from your list…” No I’m not. If it’s not in the list above, then it’s not “official”. Official to me means “was the band involved in that”.

Please also note that the various items in the “Notes” sections of the discography pages were written and researched by me. If you want to use my notes, please let me know, and give me a credit/linkback. Thank you.

Other / Unofficial Albums & Tributes

The albums below are a limited selection of tribute albums and other Sabbath related discs. This is by no means an attempt to be exhaustive. These ones interested me in one fashion or another, that’s the sole criteria for their inclusion here.
