This definitve video retrospective features ten classic tracks from the
original line-up of guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, vocalist
Ozzy Osbourne and drummer Bill Ward. Covering SABBATH's first eight years
since emerging from Birmingham as unknowns in 1970, it includes that year's
seminal 'N.I.B.', 'PARANOID' - twice a hit record and their most influential
song - and the ultra heavy 'CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE' from 1971's 'Master Of
Reality' LP. Fittingly, it climaxes with 'NEVER SAY DIE', Osbourne's SABBATH
swansong from 1978.
Some notes about this video collection. The PARANOID video is lip synched.
Notice that there are no audio cord to the guitar.
IT'S ALRIGHT, ROCK n ROLL DOCTOR, and NEVER SAY DIE all seem to be studio sound as well.

BLACK SABBATH's decade of hard rock domination in the seventies was not to be
upset by the departure of Ozzy Osbourne. This video illustrates powerful
performances through a variety of line-ups, culmination in the classic 'Mob
Rules' line-up. As a third decade gets under way, this second volume shows
why SABBATH remain the true masters of metal.
There exist two versions of "The BLACK SABBATH Story Volume II". The first one
is without ' I ' and with a different mixing of the pictures. Sadly enough
'Hard Road', 'Trashed' and 'Zero The Hero' are edited. 'Computer God' and
'TV Crimes' show only some parts during the studio recordings. ' I ' ends with
the solo of Iommi. Look twice before buying!

OZZY OSBOURNE - 'LIVE & LOUD', contains 'BLACK SABBATH' from the Mark I
reunion gig Pacific Amphitheatre, Costa Mesa,
Los Angeles, USA, 15/11/1992.
ROCK HARD VIDEO - Volume 7, features a small interview (about 5 minutes long)
with Tony Martin and Tony Iommi, from 1994
TV Crimes -> Conceptual. The video for this is not
available commerically, to the best of my
knowledge. It was played somewhat heavily on
MTV right after it's release, and if you've
seen it, you know it sucks. The song was about
televangelists, and the video is about some
dumb ass television set being stolen.
As for Cross Purposes, the only thing I've seen is a short 30 second
commercial for the album. It's played twice on MTV, but I've not
managed to get it on tape. It has the little girl that's on the cover
of the album moving. I do not know if there's an acutal music video
from this album, nor do I know of a single.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
The video contains black and white live
pictures. In the video Iommi wears a black leather jacket and
Geezer a jacket with silver crosses on it. The only person I didn't
see on the video was Geoff Nicholls.
