Completa tu colección de Black Sabbath Featuring Tony Iommi. A different period for the band but really for Iommi himself with again a lineup change that changes everything but thankfully in a very short Star is the twelfth studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Released in January 1986, it features founding guitarist Tony Iommi alongside musicians Geoff Nicholls, Eric Singer, and Dave Spitz, playing keyboards, drums, and bass, respectively, and Glenn Hughes, ex-Deep Purple bassist and vocalist, as lead singer. The album was the group's first release without bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler, who left the band in 1984 after the Born Again tour. It was originally. Seventh Star is the twelfth studio album by Black Sabbath. It was recorded at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California, and in Cheshire Sound Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and released in January 28, 1986. Its the only Black Sabbath album to feature former Deep Purple bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes on lead vocals. It also features former Lita Ford backing band members Dave Spitz and Eric Singer, due to the fact that around this time, Lita Ford was engaged to Tony Iommi. Rather than motivate sales, this confusion only caused needless damage to the albums reception. While it's obviously not a true Black Sabbath album, Seventh Star bears Iommis unmistakable imprint. Whether the band is playing the speed metal of Turn to Stone Eye of the Storm or the downtuned blues of Heart Like a Wheel, Iommis guitar sound had more heart, more grit, and more otherworldl. Seventh Star is the twelfth studio album by Black Sabbath, released in January 1986. It was also the first Black Sabbath release not to feature bassist Geezer Butler, who left the band in 1984 after the Born Again tour, leaving guitarist Tony Iommi as the sole original member left in the band. It was originally written, recorded, and intended to be the first solo album by Iommi, but due to pressures by Warner Bros. Record company pressure resulted in it being labeled Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi. After all, he was the only original member of the band left to play on these recordings. Seventh Star was released in January of '86 with the unwieldy heading Black Sabbath Featuring Tony Iommi splashed across its front the album was pretty much doomed from the moment it hit record store racks. Long time fans scoffed at the unfamiliar faces in the new lineup, and assumed that Tony was trying to squeeze the last bit of juice out of the Sabbath name for his own benefit. Record company pressure forced Iommi to call it a Black Sabbath album, hence the official name of the band on this album being Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi. The featuring part was dropped when they went on tour, however. As of 2011, this album has never been formally released on CD in North America by Warner Bros. Instead, Seventh Star was conceived as guitarist Tony Iommi's first solo project, and it was only record company pressure that forced him to resurrect his longtime band's moniker at the last minute. Seventh Star shouldn't even have been a Black Sabbath record. Label pressure has led to more dissapointing releases, and the Black Sabbath name suffered from this ill fate just as many others. The group's twelth album, already rather strangely headed with Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi, was meant to be Iommi's first solo album, but of course, the label correctly felt more money was to be made if the name Black Sabbath was put on the album rather than Tony Iommi. But who's that on the album cover That's right: Tony Iommi. True Sabbath fans do not even consider th
