IOMMI - THE PHOTOGRAPHS (SUPER DELUXE EDITION) Hand signed by Tony Iommi

IOMMI - The Photographs by Ross Halfin and Tony Iommi is hand signed by Tony Iommi. This special A3 edition is limited to 100 signed and numbered copies and comes in a beautiful clamshell case with a separate, unique 3D lenticular.

Featuring exclusive written contributions from Ozzy Osbourne, Sir Brian May, James Hetfield, and Phil Anselmo.

Tony Iommi is synonymous with heavy rock; his innovative, de-tuned, dark riffs are considered to be the blueprint for hundreds of bands that followed. As Phil Anselmo says, “With a thick sound and crushing, bending riffs—riffs that paint the insides of our memory banks, black with sacred knowledge, Tony changed the landscape of what was acceptable for a mere guitar to sound like.”

For the last two years, Tony has been working with renowned music photographer Ross Halfin to compile this luxury, 340 page, photographic book of his musical career; from the very early days of Black Sabbath through to the opening of “Black Sabbath - The Ballet”  in 2023. This suitably heavy tome is a celebration of one of music’s most innovative guitarists and, as Ozzy notes in his exclusive epilogue, “If someone asked me, who was the leader of Black Sabbath, it’d have to be Tony, wouldn’t it? We all contributed, of course, but without Tony’s riffs, we wouldn’t have had a chance”.

The book is a compendium of carefully selected images compiled from all eras of Tony’s career, many from Ross Halfin’s own archive, and the book also features further exclusive written contributions from some of music’s leading talents and friends of Tony. These include Sir Brian May, James Hetfield, and Phil Anselmo. As Sir Brian May notes in his introduction, “Ross Halfin has captured images of Tony in a huge number of settings over the years, as you will see in this book. The pictures show a man of great power and presence, as befits a giant riffmeister”.
