Good evening and welcome to the dark side... both in ale and in album! Tonight I'm pairing a Squatters Beers (Utah Brewers Cooperative) Outer Darkness Russian Imperial Stout with Black Sabbath's 1975/1976 compilation album, "We Sold Our Souls To Rock And Roll"!
A treasured album of mine, "We Sold Our Souls To Rock And Roll" is the ultimate doom metal compilation! Originally released on December 1st, 1975 in the U.K. and then on February 3rd, 1976 in the U.S., "We Sold Our Souls To Rock And Roll" is a double-album, compiled of tracks from their first 6 albums (but weighing heavily on the first 4). Although this is an official release from their then record company, NEMS, guitarist Tony Iommi was once quoted as saying he and the band knew nothing of it until he was asked to autograph a copy backstage at a concert in 1976. I won't insult your intelligence by trying to describe the depth, complexity, and raw power by which Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Mr. Iommi lay the heavy down on this album... you know!
Anyway, here is the amazing track list:
- "Black Sabbath" (from Black Sabbath)
- "The Wizard" (from Black Sabbath)
- "Warning" (from Black Sabbath)
- "Paranoid" (from Paranoid)
- "War Pigs" (from Paranoid)
- "Iron Man" (from Paranoid)
- "Tomorrow's Dream" (from Black Sabbath, Vol. 4)
- "Fairies Wear Boots" (from Paranoid)
- "Changes" (from Black Sabbath, Vol. 4)
- "Sweet Leaf" (from Master of Reality)
- "Children of the Grave" (from Master of Reality)
- "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" (from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)
- "Am I Going Insane (Radio Edition)" (from Sabotage)
- "Laguna Sunrise" (from Black Sabbath, Vol. 4)
- "Snowblind" (from Black Sabbath, Vol. 4)
- "N.I.B." (from Black Sabbath)
