The record reached 13 in the U.K. and was certified gold in the U.S.In the summer of 1976, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward headed to Miami to record Technical Ecstasy at the famed Criteria Studios. The band was coming off a world tour for their previous album, Sabotage, that had found their live performances evolving to include keyboards and synthesizers. These newly incorporated instruments and sounds were then introduced into the recording process on Technical Ecstasy. The new songs encompassed a wide range of styles from the hard charging ‘Back Street Kids’ and ballad ‘It’ Alright,’ to the funky ‘All Moving Parts Stand Still’ and progressive ‘Gypsy.’ The album also featured the single ‘It’ Alright,’ which was the first Sabbath song to feature lead vocals by Ward. The Deluxe Edition presents a newly remastered version of the eighttrack album, along with an entirely new mix of the album created by Steven Wilson using the original analog tapes.TECHNICAL ECSTASY SUPER DELUXE EDITION comes with eight previously unreleased outtakes and alternative mixes.

The songs touch on different eras of the band’ history with early tracks like ‘Black Sabbath’ and ‘War Pigs’ alongside new songs ‘Gypsy’ and ‘Dirty Women.’The collection comes with an extensive booklet featuring artwork, liner notes, rare memorabilia and photos from the era, plus a replica of the 197677 world tour concert book and a large colour poster.
