Black Sabbath have announced the upcoming release of a new box set.

"Black Sabbath - The Vinyl Collection: 1970 – 1978" is available for pre-order now at this location.
While the box set features all original Sabbath members, the band’s current reunion attempt failed to secure the services of drummer Bill Ward, who is sitting things out over a contract dispute.
Ozzy Osbourne’s drummer Tommy Clufetos handled drum duties for three Sabbath live shows this year in Ward’s absence.
Meanwhile, Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler continue work on a new album with producer Rick Rubin, which is due for release next April.
