I WILL GIVE YOU
THOSE THINGS
YOU THOUGHT UNREAL
We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll
is a compilation album
by the English
heavy metal band
originally released in
January 1976
in the UK
and
February, 3rd 1976
in the US.
Album Information
When
Black Sabbath
signed with NEMS,
the label which
would release their
1975 album
Sabotage
in the UK,
NEMS acquired
the band's back catalogue
and wasted little time
compiling this release.
Authorized without
the band's awareness
by their previous manager,
Patrick Meehan,
the band would make
no money whatsoever
from the release.
Although the band
had six studio albums
to its name
at this point,
this compilation
drew heavily on
the first four albums:
this would also
be a feature
of most of the
Osbourne-era
compilations
later released.
The original
UK gatefold album,
with a matte finish,
featured a woman
in a coffin
holding what looks like
a tin foil cross.
Additionally,
the original record
retained
Geezer Butler's
bass solo before
"N.I.B.",
but this would
be edited
from later issues.
Some US copies
of the LP
do not
actually include
"Wicked World"
on the label
or on the record itself,
though it does appear
on the cover.
In the UK,
"Wicked World"
had been only a
B-side
and was
relatively obscure.
Despite the album
being an official release,
Iommi has been quoted
as saying that
the first time
the band knew of it
was when asked
to autograph copies
which fans presented
after concerts.
