Oh that’s ok, have a nice day!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s hard work being Black Sabbath on album number 7. You’re trying to compete with the cultural forces of ELO, Foreigner, Boston and ABBA, plus feeling the Punk Rock winds of change coming just around the corner. I think I enjoy ‘Technical Ecstasy’ more as a fan of mid-70s what's-a-good-synonym-for-bloated rock music recordings, than as a Black Sabbath album. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI don’t have a neat defense of this mostly panned LP, but I enjoyed it in (fellow staff member) Oli’s lounge room, and I’m enjoying a second Thursday morning spin in the store. Great to hear Bill Ward’s beautiful voice on ‘It's Alright’. Feel free to write in with your vision for rehabilitating ‘Technical Ecstasy’, I’m all ears. — Nic\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Pressing \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIncludes Obi and Insert. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecord\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:  \u003cstrong\u003eNear Mint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eObi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLabel: Vertigo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCat #: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15PR-24\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYear of Press: 1981\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhoto is of the actual item for sale! \u003c\/strong\u003e(Click on picture to zoom).
