"WE FINISHED THE FIRST ALBUM, TOURED EUROPE FOR SIX WEEKS AND THEN WENT RIGHT BACK IN THE STUDIO."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Terence "Geezer" Butler, co-founder/bassist/primary songwriter of English heavy metal/hard rock band BLACK SABBATH, photographed by Chris Walter at Regent Sound Studios, London, England during the band's "Paranoid" sessions, on June 17, 1970.

"The landmark release, which includes the metal staples “Paranoid,” “War Pigs” and “Iron Man,” was recorded live in the studio with producer Rodger Bain. And they tracked the entire album at Regent Sound Studios and Island Studios in London between June 16 and 21. It took just six days because, well, that’s all they were given.

“We finished the first album, toured Europe for six weeks and then went right back in the studio,” bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler told me in 2010. "It felt like the four of us against the world. We still hadn’t realized we had made it, you see?""
