Not exactly known for their beautiful sleeves
 
The Sab's best were the debut, Mob Rules and Technical Extasy
 
 
The worsts are Paranoid, Reality, Four, Bloody Sab, Sabotage and Born again
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I think the Paranoid album cover gets too much crap. Yeah, it's kind of dumb, but nowhere near as bad as Love Beach or any other awful album covers from great bands. And I particularly like the album cover for "Master of Reality"... it's very simple, but the use of colors and font is pretty cool, IMO.

It's surprising to see so much love for Technical Ecstasy, I've never before heard that someone actually liked it. From the Hipgnosis covers I prefer Never Say Die, and that's not very good either.
It's on PA!

All their album sleeves suck but we should declare an armistice for the debut (it was original at the time and has been slavishly copied by the contra-moths that inhabit metal ever since)
