A unique album of recordings from the pre- Black Sabbath days of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward is to be released next month. Earth: The Legendary Lost Tapes was recorded during the foursome’s early days in 1969 by music promoter Jim Simpson, who went on to become Black Sabbath’s first manager.

Black Sabbath have offered a sneak peek at their rehearsals for their last-ever show. On Tuesday (June 24), frontman Ozzy Osbourne took to social media, sharing a picture of himself, drummer Bill Ward and bassist Geezer Butler as they ready themselves for swansong Back To The Beginning at Birmingham’s Villa Park next Saturday,
