You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Master of Reality is the 3rd studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in August 1971 by Vertigo Records. It is regarded by some critics as the foundation of doom metal, stoner rock, and sludge metal. Produced by Rodger Bain, who also produced the band's prior 2 albums, Master of Reality was recorded at Island Studios in London from February to April 1971. Guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler downtuned their instruments during the production, achieving what Iommi called a "bigger, heavier sound".
Master of Reality peaked at number 5 on the UK Albums Chart and number 8 on the US Billboard 200. Though negatively received by critics on release, the album is now considered one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time. It was certified 2X platinum by RIAA after having sold over 2 million copies in the US.
