The Details
Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1987 album including two bonus tracks on Disc One plus the complete album session originally recorded by the late Ray Gillen on Disc Two. The Eternal Idol, Sabbath's 13th studio album, was an altogether harder sounding record and brought back an 'edge' that had been missing from Seventh Star. Whilst there was much for the Sabbath fan to celebrate with tracks such as, 'The Shining', 'Ancient Warrior', 'Born to Lose' and the title track, the album wasn't as well received and settled at number 66 in the UK and a disappointing 168 in the US. Over the years however, fans of Black Sabbath and Hard Rock in general have been re-discovering all that the Eternal Idol has to offer. Sanctuary.
