Black Sabbath released the Reunion CD in 1998, shortly after the band reformed with the original line up of Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.
Packaging. The CD case is black (suprise suprise) with a pair of Gothic garloil children holding the bands name. sadly the case is cardboard and can easily be scratched and damaged. Full track listings complete with timings are included. The double CD's are backed by pictures of the NEC.
The inlay is a 28 page booklet with rare pictures and a story of the band which covers from when the band started to when they recorded Reunion. There are no lyric listings, but if you are a true fan you'll know them!
Tracks Listing. CD One War pigs Behind the wall of sleep Fairies wear boots Electric funeral sweet Leaf sprial architect Into the void snowblind
CD Two sabbath bloody sabbath orchid / Lord of this world Dirty women Black sabbath Iron man Paranoid Psycho man (studio recorded) selling my soul (studio recorded)
Recording Details. The CD was recorded live at the NEC on 5 December 1997 and I was lucky enough to be there.
Favourites. My favourite tracks from the CD are War pigs, Electric funeral, Iron man and (of course) Paranoid. If you were not lucky enough to be there when the CD was recorded, then this is a very good substitute.
The studio recorded tracks (Psycho man and selling my soul) are an insight on new sabbath material. They are both very good.
Other Details. I brought the CD when it was originally released and paid £24.99 for it. Amazon are currently selling two versions. The limited copy is £28.99, the non-limited one is £15.99.
Conclusion. This is definately a CD worth putting into your collection if you are a sabbath fan.

Even though I haven't gone out and bought any of Ozzys songs, I do like Paranoid, Warpigs and Crazy Train. I like his new release as well.
I do miss The Osbournes on a Sunday night, roll on the new episode. I thought it was hilarious.

I enjoyed your well written review on the Black Sabbath group but I don't enjoy their music. ~Lyla~
