Demos / Outtakes / Misc.
Soundboard Recordings
Encoded: 224 Kbps MP3

The earliest known recordings from legendary English heavy metal act BLACK SABBATH, which includes two 1969 demo tracks “The Rebel” and “When I Came Down”, along with a live cut called “Early One Morning Blues”. The two demo tracks could have been credited to Earth since Sabbath’s final gig as Earth was performed the day after recording “The Rebel”, but these recordings are generally understood to indeed be the first ever by the legendary group. “The Rebel” and “When I Came Down” were written by Locomotive keyboardist Norman Haines. “Early One Morning Blues” appears to be a live track of unknown origin or date. -Sabbath historian Rob Dwyer.

Notes:
In August 1969 BLACK SABBATH's manager Jim Simpson suggested that the band record 'The Rebel', a song written by Norman Haines (of the NORMAN HAINES BAND & LOCOMOTIVE). The session for "The Rebel", took place at Trident Studios in London. Haines also took part in this session, playing organ and piano. Two months later, the band recorded yet another Haines composition called 'When I Came Down'. (...More)
