Why get this box set instead of the better known "Black Box"? There was obviously more attention to details on the latter version! So why? Well... The only reason why I got this one was for the shape of the box! I absolutely despise oversized boxes which won't fit into my CD library. Yep! That goes to show you how much of a true fan of the Black Sabbath I am huh? Why not? I find this box more attractive and the eight albums are presented in pleasant looking LP-replicas. The sound might not be remastered, but that is nothing I would really notice, having never owned these albums before. There are no liner notes to this box set, just a few pictures in a booklet, but if I have to read info about Black Sabbath, the internet is the place to go for me. All in all, I don't regret having gotten this box and don't plan on switching it for the "better" one any day soon!
