Description

Master Of Reality is Black Sabbath’s third studio album — a sludgy, riff-heavy cornerstone that laid the foundation for doom, stoner, and sludge metal. This Rhino US limited edition is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and remastered from the original analogue tapes. The reissue includes a printed inner sleeve with lyrics and artwork, and features the original US tracklist, including “Sweet Leaf,” “Children Of The Grave,” and “Into The Void.”

Produced by Rodger Bain and recorded at Island Studios in London, the album showcases the classic lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. With its down-tuned guitars, ominous themes, and genre-defining sound, Master Of Reality became Sabbath’s first Top 10 album in the US and earned double platinum certification. The reissue is part of Rhino’s deluxe vinyl campaign celebrating the band’s early catalogue with audiophile-grade fidelity.
