January 29, 2021, 3 years ago
Late Black Sabbath keyboardist Geoff Nicholls' estate has released rare audio of Black Sabbath rehearsing "Heaven And Hell" during pre-production for the Heaven And Hell album.
Says the estate's executor and Nicholls' stepson, Gary Rees: "I recently found this Sony C-90 tape cassette amongst the thousands in Geoff Nicholls' archive. On the inlay card is written 'ON & ON HEAVEN & HELL ORIGINAL VERSION GEOFF PLAYING BASS'. Inside the cassette case was a Maxell UD 90. The B side is written 'On + On HEAVEN HELL ORIGINAL GEOFF ON BASS'. Nowhere does it say that this is Black Sabbath on the cassette. On And On Heaven And Hell may have been the original working title."
Recording lineup:
Ronnie James Dio – vocals
Tony Iommi – guitar
Geoff Nicholls – bass
Bill Ward - drums
