Quite simply, Martin Popoff’s Sabotage! Black Sabbath in the
Seventies marks the most intensive analysis of Black Sabbath’s
first eight albums ever attempted. This is a big book—129,000
words long, every song analysed in detail, loads of first-hand
interview footage from close to 50 interrogations. In the baking,
Popoff interviewed all of the principles—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony
Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward—repeatedly, along with myriad
other folks who are part of this remarkable tale. Black Sabbath,
Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,
Sabotage, Never Say Die and Technical Ecstasy… these are the
building blocks of heavy metal, and within these awesome audio
chapters, Popoff breaks down each and every song on each of these
reverberating and cannonating records, while Geezer offers
explanation of the lyrics, Bill poetically explains why these songs
resonate and Tony and Oz look on with their characteristic sense of
bemusement. Also touched upon are the band’s torrid troubles with
money and management and drugs and booze, as well as tour tales,
album cover stories and production tips ‘n’ tricks. Also
included are two four-page sections of colour plates. All told,
it’s everything needed to send the reader back to the catalogue,
headphones on, for a second listen of this landmark run of records
spanning 1970’s self-titled debut to 1978’s Never Say Die, the
shambling, controversial last gasp before Ozzy’s shocking ouster
from the ranks.
