Since there's less of these, I combined the 3 into one post. There's a Quad Sabotage that I've never seen, as well as a minute difference to that RCA club one. Otherwise the only ones I don't have aren't listed in Discogs yet for these 3.

After MoR, there was a drop in variants, even more so after SBS.
I've picked up the BOO and BATM promos over the past week(lucky on both counts). While Sabbath's Japan promos are the classic White Label Promos(other than the debut and Paranoid being red label), Ozzy's are not WLP's. They've for more subtle markings to note they are promo copies. That's why I didn't even realize my Ultimate Sin was a promo until after the fact. I'm up to 3 so far. Not gonna be easy to find the others.
Master of Reality is the album I've got the most 8-track variants(as well as the most vinyl, cassette and CD variants).
MoR was the first album I bought multiple variants of, kickstarting me on my Sabbath/Ozzy collection obsession. What started as just wanting one 8 track for each Sabbath album turned into much more, collecting every variant I could find, upgrading mediocre looking copies when I could.
Non-collectors don't get it and think it's nuts or stupid. I don't bother arguing the point, it's what I thought before I ever bought multiples as well.
Next up in my Sabbath collection is Paranoid. This is probably the one that I have the most official slip covers for(UK, a couple different style of US, and for the Quadraphonic variant).
I'm reorganizing my Sabbath/Ozzy stash, and it's time to retake pics of each one. I always expect to discover another variant I don't have. But one of the few Sabbath tapes that I know I don't have is the RCA Club version of the debut. I've been hardcore collecting the 8-tracks for over 8 years, and I've never seen that one.
Here's a pic of my Sab debut tapes so far.
I bought this CD from Livemetallica years ago. But I'd love to get this on vinyl. I know there's no official version(which I'd bet would sell well, but Lars probably wouldn't dig that), but does anyone know of any unofficial/bootleg versions.
The box itself that it came in is cool AF. So I decided to use it for storage for my Alice family tapes, CD's, DVD, VHS, etc.
I'd been waiting for the Tripod box to take this, but it's taking too damn long. I should have taken my 7". But it's only 3 Alice, one Jerry and 3 Jerry flexi-discs, maybe I'll make a post of AIC/JC singles(cassette, CD &vinul) at some point.
