The record

Title: Black Sabbath – Master of Reality
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971, Metal, Heavy Metal, Birmingham, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Iommi started tuning down because of fingertip injuries, and that practical workaround quietly became a defining technique other bands copied for decades.

  2. Band Drama: Recorded while the band’s touring pace was brutal and drug use was escalating, setting a pattern of pressure that never really left them.

  3. Album Art: The embossed black-on-black sleeve was a physical-object flex—minimal text, tactile design, and “dark” branding before metal marketing had rules.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
