Issued in 1976 and subsequently reissued on cassette and CD with the song lineups slightly revised, We Sold Our Soul for Rock ’n’ Roll was a double-LP greatest-hits collection from a band that never aimed for hits and instead (partly inadvertently) laid the groundwork for heavy metal and even punk. The band had released six studio albums at this time this compilation was made, but only one song apiece was taken from their fifth and sixth albums (“Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” the title track to their fifth, and “Am I Going Insane [Radio]” from Sabotage). The rest come from the first four albums, including nearly all of their self-titled first album, four songs from Paranoid, two from Master of Reality, and four from Vol. 4. For a summary of the band’s work with original singer Ozzy Osbourne and original drummer Bill Ward, this remains a solid choice, though most Sabbath fans will find themselves buying the original albums with Ozzy eventually.
