Black Sabbath Reclaims Early Demos, Sharon Opens Release Possibility

0:00On April 25, Black Sabbath just won back full ownership of their super-early demos from 1969 when they were still calling themselves. Earth, all four original members, Ozzy Osborne, Tony Ayami, Geeser Butler and Bill Ward, now control those tracks recorded in a Birmingham studio. Last summer, their old manager Jim Simpson planned to drop a compilation called Earth, the legendary lost tapes, but that never happened. Sharon Osborne jumped in publicly, saying the band hadn't even heard the stuff and didn't want it out without their say. She laid it all out on social media back in July, stressing Black Sabbath doesn't back down from fights like this. Five months later, on the Osborne's podcast, Sharon announced the settlement, they got the demos back fair and square. Now the band owns everything, just like it should be. Sharon even said she's open to releasing them someday, if the guys approve, calling it historically huge for heavy metal fans. Meanwhile, Youngblood kept the Sabbath spirit alive this week in Birmingham, covering changes at his show and getting the crowd chanting Ozzy's.
