Charting the Sabbath Story: ‘The Lowdown’ (SXYCD101)
Today’s entry looks at a documentary-style release focusing on the godfathers of heavy metal, Black Sabbath. We are examining “The Lowdown,” a 2CD set released on the Sexy Intellectual label with the catalog number SXYCD101.
Issued in the UK in 2012, this release is noted as an unofficial collection, meaning it’s not sanctioned directly by the band or their official record labels. However, it aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Black Sabbath’s legendary and often tumultuous career.
The two-disc set is structured as follows:
Disc 1 contains an audio biography, narrating the band’s history from their beginnings in Birmingham through their groundbreaking albums, lineup changes, highs, and lows. Disc 2 features a selection of interviews conducted with iconic frontman Ozzy Osbourne over the years, offering his perspective on the band’s journey and his own experiences.“The Lowdown” chronicles the band’s immense influence, particularly highlighting the impact of their early work like the debut album and the genre-defining “Paranoid.” It also touches upon Ozzy’s departure, his massive solo success, and the eventual reunions that brought the classic lineup back together.
While unofficial, SXYCD101 serves as an engaging audio documentary for fans seeking a deeper understanding of Black Sabbath’s long and complicated history, combining narrative biography with firsthand accounts from their legendary singer.
