Forbidden (Japanese Print) - Black Sabbath

This is the Japanese print of the Forbidden album. Like the Cross Purposes Japanese print I have, this was mostly the same as the US release. The differences in this were that the liner notes were in Japanese. There was an extra track entitled "Loser Gets it All" which also appeared on the 1996 Greatest Hits album. Thirdly there was a window sticker which had a copy of the cover artwork. If I want to listen to the physical CD version of this album, I usually pick this one because it has an extra track.

However, the morons who decided on track arrangement for this version really botched it. The "regular" final track on this album is 'Kiss of Death', which is probably the single best Tony Martin era track Black Sabbath has done. However, it ends with a sound effect that quite distinctly sets mood and makes you feel like the album is over. On the Japanese print, they just stuck the extra track on the end. What they should have done is stuck it before Kiss of Death for a proper feel. Oh well.
