Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has confirmed that the Black Sabbath albums recorded with Tony Martin will be reissued in 2023. Iommi touched on the groups release plans in a social media post shared on Thursday, December 29, what would have been Black Sabbath drummer Cozy Powell’s 75 birthday.

Martin has spoken on the matter several times this last year, sharing in an interview with Canada’s “The Metal Voice” that he knew this would be happening next year, in 2023. He also shared on “The Rock And Metal Profs: The History And Philosophy Of Rock And Metal” podcast that “two record labels” were going to re-release the albums he recorded with Black Sabbath. “I don’t know when, and I don’t know what it’s gonna look like,” he said. “There was some suggestion a while back that we might be able to put extra tracks and stuff on it. I did offer, and I went to see Tony Iommi and offered some things. And then he said we can’t use anything new ’cause nothing new can be released under the Black Sabbath name. It can only be stuff that’s got the original four members on it.”

Iommi said he is expecting the reissue “to be a remixed version of whatever the original was.” Stay up to date with Black Sabbath and their social medias for more news on these up coming reissues. (Blabbermouth)
