In 1989 or 1990 my father organized a jazz dinner event in Brooklyn. I was recently out of college and did not drink, but somehow I wound up being the bartender for the event. Shamek Farrah and Norman Person were the leaders and Sonelius Smith was also in the band. I do not remember the rest of the musicians. At the time I had only been listening to jazz for a couple years and had no idea who the musicians were. I just knew that it was my father's friend "Tony", who if I remember correctly he collaborated with to organize the event with. Around that same time I had a copy of Impressions, but still did not know about the statute of Strata-East in the community. It was sometime after that I became more knowledgeable about the label and the musicians on it.
I enjoyed reading this article and the memories it generated.
I will keep this listed for sale until end-of-day Sunday, September 21.
This is the lowest I can go on this. I think it would be hard to find it at a lower price. It is essential for the BS fan. The only reason I am selling is because this is a duplicate as over the years I ended up with 2 copies. I would never sell my other copy. That will be a permanent fixture in my collection. Thanks.
Offered for sale is an amazing, and not very common, Black Sabbath box set:
Black Sabbath - Black Box: The Complete Black Sabbath 1970-1978
(8 CD/DVD), Rhino, 2004.
Everything (outer box, CDs, CD sleeves, DVD, hardcover book) is in Excellent condition.
The outer box shows a little shelf wear as is typical of this box set due to the black felt covering of the outer box but it is in better condition than I usually see it in. Also, one of the inner CD cardboard boxes (there are 2 inner CD cardboard boxes that each hold 4 CD digipacks) has a little rubbing to one side edge from it being pulled in and out of the larger outer box.
This is probably the best Sabbath CD box set, in terms of mastering (sound quality is amazing) and packaging. Check reviews on discogs (see link below).
There are not many copies for sale on discogs and the lowest-priced copy currently for sale there from a U.S. seller is $147 ($130 - shipping+ tax) so I have priced this well below discogs prices. See discogs link below.

That's a good one. I'd like them to do another covers album with the current lineup, but I suspect that won't happen.
There is also this live material, but it's never been released physically: https://stevekilbey.bandcamp.com/album/space-bootleg
