'The Best of Black Sabbath' is a 2000 compilation album by Black Sabbath released on the Sanctuary Records Label. It spans a total recording period from 1970 to 1983, begins with Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, ends with Ian Gillan, former Deep Purple vocalist heading the band, begins with Black Sabbath in 1970, and ends with the album Born Again in 1983. The band omitted the later work that included Ronnie James Dio fronting the album Dehumanizer but did include his work on the album Heaven and Hell and The Mob Rules in the compilation. They also omitted both Glenn Hughes (Seventh Star) and Tony Martin's work from the collection, whom they fired at various times during the 90s.
As this album is a compilation album released by a record label, and not by "Black Sabbath management", it is not considered an official Black Sabbath album, and isn't in their official catalogue of albums. There are roughly half a dozen albums released through Black Sabbath's career all with the same album title. None of which were released by the band, but were some sort of record label compilation like this one is.
The album includes over twenty-five of Black Sabbath's greatest works, including "Paranoid", The title track on the Paranoid album; "Iron Man" from the same album; "N.I.B.", from their debut album; "War Pigs" and "Electric Funeral".
