Earth ‎– The Rebel 2014


Compilation of early Sabbath demos allegedly while they were still called Earth. Tracks 4 and 6 are instrumental jams. Track 7 is by The Magic Lanterns, who Ozzy Osbourne has been rumored for years to have been a member of, but the member he is confused with is named Mike ‘Oz’ Osborne and he handles vocals and bass (the latter being an instrument, “The Bass” Ozzy admits in many interviews he does not play but this is in fact clearly Ozzy on lead vocals and it was recorded in 1968). The last track, track 8 is Ozzy on backing vocals which he teamed up with a good friend Chris Sedgwick in 1975 to carry this one out.
