Notes
- This album was originally released without the band’s permission, hence it not being labelled as “official” – All involved at the time discounted the record, claiming it was crap.
- The original release of this album had Ozzy’s name spelled “Ossie”. This error was (intentionally) reproduced in the 2010 release.
- The release of this album directly led to Sabbath releasing an official Live Album about 2 years later, that being “Live Evil”.
- This appears to have been culled from tapes from the Volume 4 Tour.
- This album was later re-released as part of the “Past Lives” double live CD in 2002, and was its first ever official recognition by the band. It was also finally released officially by Black Sabbath on it’s own in 2010.
- The 2010 “Deluxe Edition” of Past Lives and the single disc 2010 release are the same contents.

Hey so I Don’t know if it’s a typo or whatever but is there really a version with laguna sunrise on it?
Yes I don’t think this track listing is correct either
I noticed you list a 1996 re-release named “Past Lives”. I thought “Past Lives” was first released in 2002 as a 2-disc set.
I hate this album, I think it’s one of the worst live albums of all time.
this album got me through the blackest days of my life. my friends sucked, girls sucked, my parents sucked, I had dropped out of school, didn’t have a job, didn’t have anything, and people sucked. I dealt with it through massive anounts of alcohol.
at that time, in the 80’s, nobody listened to old music. I had already discarded 80’s music as sucking ass and listened to nothing but 70’s rock. now that I was drowning myself in alcohol I listened to this tape over and over. like I said, it got me through the blackest days of my life. looking back I think I had invented “grunge” 10 years before such tastes became the sucky mainstream phenomenon for posers that it did. I wasn’t posing for anybody; I was a drunk, nobody gave a shit about me, I didn’t give a shit about them, and I wanted to hear Tony Iommi wailing on some jazz, and share my miseries with Ozzy.
I had read a review that said Ozzy was “sneering” at the audience. I already listened to it a million times but checked again and I suppose it does sound like that. the tape I had said “Made in Ireland”. from 1980. it didn’t have Laguna Sunrise on it. never heard of a version that did.
Warpigs, Ozzy appears to forget a whole verse as he repeats the previous verse.
The sound isn’t perfect, but Tony’s guitar between the first verse and chorus on Sweet Leaf is about the heaviest thing you will ever hear. Sound of a supernova exploding
Funny, nobody has mentioned the Alt lyrics to Killing yourself to live from this album. I have tried endlessly to figure them out, but Ozzy did not sing it clear enough. Also, the one that I have has the ever-so-sought-for cover tune “sometimes I’m happy” prior to Supernaut which is on MY VERSION of the CD. I don’t see that track listed here either?!
OK, after going into my library, the extended “Wicked World” has “sometimes I’m Happy” and then goes into Supernaut…and THEN ends with Wicked World’s final set. To be clear. Along with various SOLOS
what is the font type used on the cover?
The font is called Westminster which is based on MICR, a predecessor of OCR.
NEMS used some of these tracks on cassette versions of Sabotage, Vol. 4 (Renamed “Children Of The Grave) and I think Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, but not sure about the last one. The other two though for sure.
