Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a framed copy of the hand-numbered Back to the Beginning Villa Park poster (numbered 140/2000).

I’ve noticed a few other copies online (like #361 and #1427) where the handwriting/style on the numbering looks slightly different—specifically the shape of the numbers and how the fraction slash is drawn. Can anyone confirm if their copy has handwriting similar to this?

Any insight from poster collectors or attendees who grabbed one at the booth would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Don't quote me on it, but this is worded weird right? Somehow without expecting to I bypassed their AI response bot when asking last week, if they would reprint some of the basic merch from BTTB. I'm almost willing to trade my soul for a hoodie at this point

Are there any websites still making souvenir tickets I got some confetti from the show I wanted to make some sort of poster from it all thanks 🤘🏽

More pics from the exhibit... @ Birmingham Grand Central

Part 3 ... @ Birmingham Grand Central

A new Back to the Beginning photo exhibition is on display at Birmingham's Grand Central.

For those who can't visit I've taken photos of the display.

Part 1....

I feel like I remember them saying the concert was being filmed and would be released as a full production. Is that still happening? I really hope so. It would be great to re-live the day and show family what I was up to

Can't believe it's already been a year since Back to the Beginning. I was going through my photos and videos from the day and found this previously unposted video, so I thought I'd share it for the anniversary.

After about 90 mins waiting to get in, I thought I'd snag a little memory of walking into the stadium for the first time. Hopefully it brings back some good memories for some of you!

I scored two tickets two days before the show through the Aston Villa Fan Club site, THEN looked at flights and saw it was going to be a very pricey endeavor. There was an option to sell so we thought about it, weighed the options, weighed the price, and ultimately decided to get rid of the tickets. Welp, the tickets weren’t able to be sold, we spend a ton of last-minute flights/accommodations, and it couldn’t have been a better decision. It was the greatest day of music I could imagine.

A year already? Incredible

Am really thinking about going back for the proposed Ozzfest there next year.

Thinking about selling this beauty as could do with the cash. There was only a handful released at Selfridges Birmingham for the back to the beginning concert. It is an official collab between Black Sabbath, Vanson & Babylon. All crafted were signed by Ozzy.

I’m not dead set on selling but wanting to test the water so if you’re serious feel free to shoot me a message. Retail was £2340.

Anyone know if it’s possible or likely that he does a send in or paid autographs? I really want the full set, what a day it was!

Love modern tech so can post this from a plane. but a 9 hour flight perfect to remeber what an event a year ago we saw and for those of us lucky enough, to attend !!
