Description:The Eternal Idol by Black Sabbath, released 1 November 2010. This version of The Eternal Idol comes as a 2xCD. -
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.
"The Eternal Idol" was originally recorded with Ray Gillen but was redone with Tony Martin after Ray left the group. CD packaged in 4 panel digipak with each disc in clear plastic tray. 12 page booklet includes lyrics, credits, and liner notes. Tracks 1-1 to 1-9: Original Album. Tracks 1-10 & 1-11: 'The Shinig' Single B-Side. Tracks 2-1 to 2-8: The Eternal Idol: Ray Gillen Session. All tracks published by Warner/Chappell Artemis Music Ltd. Disc 1, all tracks ? 1987. Disc 2, all tracks ? 2010. The Eternal Idol originally released on 1st November 1987 by Vertigo/Phonogram, VERH 51 (832 708-2). Produced at Air Studios, Montserrat & Battery Studios, London.

The thirteenth studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, released in November 1987. It is the first Black Sabbath album to feature vocalist Tony Martin. It spent six weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at 168.

Azmi H. - 27/Aug/2022 5 of 5 Stars!
Although Sabbath wasn't as big as they were in the 70s, this is still a rocking album from 1987. Sabbath was just as good. It didn't matter if it was Ozzy, Dio, or Martin. Black Sabbath was always bringing home the riffs and the melodies with Iommi at the helm.

Valeriy R. - 21/Apr/2021 5 of 5 Stars!
A luxurious BMG/Sanctuary 2CD digipack edition of the first (and, imho, the best) Black Sabbath album with Tony Martin as a vocalist. The 2nd CD is Ray Gillen Session, this is the first variant of the album originally recorded with Ray Gillen who then left the band. Both are fantastic! Listen to and compare!

Vagner C. - 15/May/2020 4 of 5 Stars!
Eternal Idol is one of those overlooked Black Sabbath albums with really good songs and without Ozzy or Dio but Tony Martin on the vocals, doing a good job. Expanded deluxe version with a bonus disc of demos.
