[edit] NEMS version

The NEMS version is the one that I own that's why I know it's different from the rest JohnCastle 21:29 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit] release date

When you check the comments in the booklet that´s added to the album you will find that the official release date of the album (first released in the UK) is February friday 13th, 1970. Which gives it a nice "twist".

[edit] "Reviews"

Is there any point whatsoever in having the "reviews" by Robert Christgau on these album pages? There is no review technique being employed whatsoever; he doesn't actually reference the albums at all as he slags off what he perceives to be music that no-one with any sense at all would listen to. Reviews should not be deliberately insulting. Bretonbanquet 17:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Bit Of Finger

2nd item under Miscellanea:

   the ending (incorrectly labeled as the intro) of "Sleeping Village" is called "A Bit of Finger".

5th item under Miscellanea:

   The short intro "A Bit Of Finger" to the song "Sleeping Village" was orig. called ЛЄНИН (Lenin)

Which is it... intro or ending? Quidsane 16:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing

This article needs to be cleaned up.

[edit] Genre

Black Sabbath heavy metal?! The Number of the Beast or Screaming for vengeance are brutal death metal, arent' they? --Born Again 83 13:53, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Dude,pay your respects to the first metal band,Black Sabbath,and Iron Maiden,and Judas Priest.These bands were the three godfathers of metal and influenced many other heavy metal bands too.Just because that it's not as heavy as death metal,does not mean that it is not metal,do your research first before you start accusing a band of a false genre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.55 (talk) 06:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] '60s?

someone changed all the dates to 1969. is there any proof of this? other websites have the same date but in 1970. i'd like to think it was 1969 too, just show that Sabbath was the heaviest and the earliest, but we can't edit this based on wishful thinking. but give me any proof and i'll be satisfied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aedhelbrand (talk • contribs) 16:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need Citation for Many Items in "Music and Lyrics" Section

There are many claims made in the "Music and Lyrics" Section that could quite easily be interpreted as mere opinion if not backed up with a source, preferably an interview with a band member. I have provided a citation for one song meaning, "The Wizard." Disturbed360 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Disturbed360 (talk • contribs) 02:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
