In 1975, when Black Sabbath began recording their sixth album, *SABOTAGE*, the band was embroiled in a protracted legal battle with their former manager. The album's title reflects this. Despite the very complicated context, the band created one of the most dynamic albums of their legendary career. BMG pays tribute to the godfathers of Heavy Metal with a collection of tracks that includes a remastered version of the original album as well as a complete live show recorded during the band's 1975 tour. *SABOTAGE: SUPER DELUXE EDITION* will be available on June 4 as a 4-CD box set and a 4-LP box set featuring the same music on 180-gram vinyl, plus a bonus 45 RPM single with the 'edit' version of "Am I Going Insane (Radio)" and "Hole In The Sky" on the B-side, and with artwork replicating the very rare Japanese version of the single. Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward recorded *SABOTAGE* in London and Brussels and co-produced the album with Mike Butcher. The eight songs were first released in the United States in July 1975, then in the United Kingdom in September of the same year. Certified Gold in the U.S. and Silver in the U.K., *SABOTAGE* received excellent critical reception and made an impact with powerful tracks such as "Hole In The Sky" and "Symptom Of The Universe," or surprising tracks like "Supertzar," which features harp, Mellotron, and the English Chamber Choir.
