It was the first album by Black Sabbath not produced by Rodger Bain; guitarist Tony Iommi assumed production duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Vol. 4' saw Black Sabbath beginning to experiment with the heavy sound they had become known for. Although most of the album's songs are in the band's trademark heavy style, others demonstrate a more sensitive approach which the band had never attempted before. The best example of this experimentation can be heard in the song \"Changes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album cover features a monochrome photograph of Ozzy Osbourne with hands raised, taken during a Black Sabbath concert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKey to the band's new sound on the album is Iommi's distinctive playing style that he developed after an accident at a sheet metal factory where he was working at the age of 17 in which the tips of the middle fingers of his fretting hand were severed. Iommi created a pair of false fingertips using plastic from a dish detergent bottle and detuned the strings on his guitar to make it easier for him to bend the strings, creating a massive, heavy sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Black Sabbath' has been lauded as perhaps the first true heavy metal album. It has also been credited as the first record in the stoner rock and goth genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nSanctuary \/ PIAS\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nMetal LP - SIDE A\u003cbr\u003e\nWheels Of Confusion\u003cbr\u003e\nTomorrow's Dream\u003cbr\u003e\nChanges\u003cbr\u003e\nFX\u003cbr\u003e\nSupernaut\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE B\u003cbr\u003e\nSnowblind\u003cbr\u003e\nCornucopia\u003cbr\u003e\nLaguna Sunrise\u003cbr\u003e\nSt. Vitus Dance\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder The Sun\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50005923365057,"sku":"BMGRM056LP","price":36.97,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/298560-Product-0-I-638916948942545736.jpg?v=1771828277","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/black_sabbath_volume_4_vinyl_-_by-_black_sabbath","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
