Black Sabbath to release box set of all eight albums of Ozzy era

The albums Black Sabbath recorded during their first go-round with Ozzy Osbourne will be collected in a new box set. Rhino will release "Black Sabbath: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978" on April 15.

Included in the set are compact discs, housed in a clamshell box, of the eight records they made in that time frame, from their 1970 self-titled debut all the way up to 1978′s "Never Say Die". Following the tour in support of that album, Ozzy Osbourne was fired due to his substance abuse issues replaced by Ronnie James Dio.

Black Sabbath’s successful reunion last year, which saw them win a Best Metal Performance Grammy for their song "God Is Dead?" and embark on a world tour, that continues in 2014.
