If they keep this up and they'll make the Doors look like they only have one comp.

There should be a career-encompassing comp of 3 CDs, but with the different labels, probably not.

This comp is utterly pointless but timed with the end of the farewell tour no doubt.

What I am really waiting for are the Tony Martin albums.

That's what I meant with the IRS albums.

The Martin era is my favorite Sabbath era.

Yeah, you and I agree this is a VERY overlooked era in Sabbath's history.

Bump with updates ...

The first release of this compilation will be on October 28th, when Amazon UK puts out an exclusive edition with a bonus card wallet insert. This is comparable in price to the domestic edition without the bonus insert, and comes out months earlier, so it's a good pickup:

Here is the standard 2CD edition, coming out in America on February 3rd:

And the "crucifold" packaging will be for the 4LP vinyl edition, also being released domestically on February 3rd:
