Album Cover
The album cover features in the foreground four filled sarcophagi, which are in fact graves dating back to the 11th century. The location is at Heysham, Lancashire, North West England overlooking Morecambe Bay. In the background the sun is setting, so apparently it is at dusk. It has a "The Best of Black Sabbath" title which appears in a Greek style font. On the back of the booklet (which contains extensive liner notes, penned by Hugh Gilmour, and credits) there is a silhouette of Geezer Butler playing in the moonlight.
