Sabbath Bloody Sabbath — 1973

A more sophisticated peak balancing heaviness with melody and strings. Ambitious and beloved. A high point. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.

On vinyl: Well-pressed originals still surface at reasonable prices; modern reissues are a safe bet if you want new.
