Earth (Pre-Black Sabbath) - Demo 1969

Ozzy’s voice is insane man. It just sounds unlike anyone else to this day. You can hear it’s absolutely effortless

0:03 The Rebel, 2:48 Thomas James, 11:18 When I Came Down, 13:17 Early One Morning Blues.

I can imagine Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath in the kitchen figuring out what too cook for the new decade (70's). Led Zeppelin throws in some Blues, Deep Purple throws in some Classical Music and Black Sabbath throws in some Jazz.....and there you have the recipe for Heavy Metal.

Been a fan for years and never heard this before. Awesome

This is one of the clearest versions ever. Most versions of the demo used to be really muddy sounding. This one is awesome.

Been looking for this for 40 years... J, Sweden

iommis guitar work is Insane

I was just 4 in 1969 in the Pre Sabbath , man I am getting old , Black Sabbath and Ozzy still rocks !

I’m on an earth binge rn, this is seriously good sound quality! Thanks for sharing this!

Wow Ozzy and Sabbath are like kin to me they thought me how to be, what to avoid alot of my belief system came directly from their music. Ive never been prison, I am not hooked on drugs and I love everyone I meet. I believe myself to be a truly good person. I owe it all to them... Thanks for a very special piece...

This is a gem. Holy shit man.

So this was what they did before they became black sabbath. I remember their first album, oh man they got tagged early as devil music, that's when I discovered a whole album of the heavy, which I had been craving . Heavy music has come along way. Thanks to Tony Iommi, and other pioneering musicians for their great contributions to all forms of the Heavy. HAIL Thee Eternal Heavy !!!

8:33 : Here is the origin of the song "Black Sabbath" ... And with its tri-tones and all!🤘🤘

💥 I've always loved Ozzy's amazingly crystal clear vocals! The ONLY one I can think of who sounds ALOT like Ozzy is Roy Wood. He and Ozzy are both from Birmingham & are friends & have both supported eachother at times. Roy (qqv The Move, ELO and Wizzard) should have gotten WAY more famous with that voice. I think he was just way too much in his own zone. But his vocals have always been great! And he had/has a very similar tone. Check out "Blackberry Way" by The Move and smile! Many other lost lost gems there. Maybe they're both related?

Holy shit the intro to Track 2 is insane! Amazing tone

Been looking for Earths music for a while. Thanks for putting this up
