#BLACK SABBATH NEON KNIGHTS MOVIE#

Underneath that is what looks like the word Ozzy drawn into the ground. Underneath the second from the right person standing there, you’ll see the name of the person who drew the cover, Greg Hildebrandt. If you look to your right here, you’ll see the Mob Rules album cover. What am I talking about? Well, Ozzy himself doesn’t appear there. Ozzy Osbourne on Mob Rules? That album was released in 1981, about 3 years after Ozzy & Sabbath parted company. In it’s original release, Hammersmith was a limited edition release of just 5,000 copies.

Disc 2 of the 2010 Deluxe Edition was previously released as “ Live at Hammersmith“.

You can also check out a two part audio interview with Greg about the artwork. No wait, you can’t anymore, it’s been sold. You can find more info on it at Hildebrant’s site you can buy it, too.

The album cover art was originally a painting called “Mob Dream” by Greg Hildebrant – Sabbath licensed the art for their cover.

:) OK, nevermind, go read about it on Wikipedia.

Look up the word “ochlocracy” in a dictionary.

When asked via email in March 2007, Geezer Butler said the voice in E5150 said this.

The version of “The Mob Rules” from the Heavy Metal soundtrack was finally released officially on a Black Sabbath album on the 2010 Deluxe Edition of the album.

E5150 and Mob Rules from this album also appear on the soundtrack to the movie Heavy Metal with a slightly different mix.No known (to me, anyway) music videos for this album.

I still have this as of the writing of this page on November 2011, 30 years later. But the shell the tape was got broken years ago, so I transplanted it into another cassette tape shell I got from Radio Shack at the time. To this day I still have the paper sleeve insert, and the actual tape media. My original purchase was on pre-recorded cassette tape. I credit this album for getting me into Black Sabbath. The week after this, I bought Paranoid (totally at random), and I was hooked forever. Unfortunately, Sabbath had just left Philadelphia (I was living there then), so I had to wait until Born Again to see ’em for the first time. The first Black Sabbath song I ever listened to was “Turn Up the Night”. I thought I’d check out what kind of band would have cool cover art like that. There was a remark in there about “See Black Sabbath on tour at a venue near you” or something like that. I was thumbing through a Circus Magazine, and saw the cover art for this album, which totally kicks ass. Before this, I only owned one metal album, that being AC/DC’s Back in Black.

This was the first Black Sabbath album I ever bought.
