Overview

The Ozzy Osbourne Years --- 1993

This Compilation ℗ 1991 Castle Communications PLC This Compilation © 1991 Castle Communications PLC This 3CD set compiles Black Sabbath's first six studio albums (almost) in their entirety, but seven shorter instrumental tracks are excluded (see below for more information). The three CDs are housed in their own jewel cases, and fit into a cardboard slipcase. Also included is a 20-page booklet which details the history of the band.

On many other versions of the album 'Black Sabbath', 'Sleeping Village' is 3:46 in length, but on 'The Ozzy Osbourne Years' track 1-6 is 10:44 long, because Track 1-6 also includes most of the music for the song 'Warning' (6:58).
