What do you think?

Well, also there was a jaw harp played by producer Roger Bain.

Now, I don't know what a jaw harp is.

Do you know what a jaw harp is?

taking just two days to track.

In June of 1970, at first Regent Sound, and then the brand new Island Studios with its state-of-the-art 16-track machine, the band once again worked with producer Roger Bain, who had guided their successful self-titled debut.

That album introduced a theatrical unit featuring dreary and unsettling songs of the occult, draped with deep spiritual and mystical themes, highlighted by haunting refrains of despair, amidst heavy electric guitar riffs, backed by a muscular bass drum combo.

Founded by guitarist and songwriter Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward, after they'd disbanded their previous group, Mythology, to team up with bassist and budding lyricist, Geezer Butler, and lead singer Ozzy Osbourne, who'd played together in a band called Rare Breed.

Having slightly different takes of the solo on top of each other, I think, is tremendously effective in this song.

And this whole album, they do that trick a bunch.

Excellent production here by this gentleman, Roger Bain, I think is the guy who produced the record.

I mentioned him at the top.
