Black Sabbath is the debut album by Black Sabbath, released on Friday, February 13, 1970. Widely considered the first true Heavy Metal album, it was recorded within only a 12-hour period between a few European gigs. The lyrics deal with far darker themes than their contemporaries, dealing with occultism, Satanism, and Lovecraftian horrors, and the trademark dark banjo-stringed guitar, alongside Ozzy Osbourne's vocals, made it even more radical and unique.The album was a commercial success, having gone to number eight on the UK charts after its release. After its June 1970 release in the States, it peaked at number 23 on the Billboard charts and sold one million copies during the year that it was ranked there. Tracklist (original European edition):Side One "Black Sabbath" (6:20) "The Wizard" (4:24) "Behind the Wall of Sleep" (3:37) "N.I.B." (6:08)Side Two "Evil Woman, Don't Play Your Games with Me"note often shortened to just "Evil Woman", including on the original UK LP's centre label (3:25) "Sleeping Village" (3:46) "Warning" (10:28) Tracklist (original North American edition):Side One "Black Sabbath" (6:20) "The Wizard" (4:22) "Wasp"note intro to "Behind the Wall of Sleep"; reprised later in the song/"Behind the Wall of Sleep"/"Bassically"note bass solo intro to "N.I.B."/"N.I.B." (9:44)Side Two "Wicked World" (4:47) "A Bit of Finger"note despite its placement in the track list, there is uncertainty as to what section "A Bit of Finger" actually refers to, varying between the acoustic intro to "Sleeping Village", the instrumental section of said song, or the middle section of "Warning"/"Sleeping Village"/"Warning" (14:15) Personnel:
