BLACK SABBATH

Is this woman, this strange gothic Mona Lisa on the sleeve a ghost ? There's an urban legend around her, and it gave to Black Sabbath's debut album a kind of strange atmosphere. This album is probably one of the best from the band. Lots of songs are marvellous here, especially 'N.I.B.' (which is not for Nativity In Black, but for Butler's nickname, Pen Nib), 'Black Sabbath' and the long suite 'Sleeping Village'/'The Warning'. Absolutely great, even if the sound is not as good as on the other BS albums.
