I actually hadn't heard Walpurgis until I did some wiki surfing while writing this post.<BR/><BR/>In regard to that cover, it's the sleeve for the Paranoid Single. The more colorful one you and I are familiar with is the standard LP one...which was chosen/designed to fit that LP's original title, War Pigs. The Record Co. felt it was a poor album title choice given the political climate surrounding 'Nam, so they went with Paranoid. Fans often mistakenly think that cover is the 'Iron Man', but it's not. (yeah, most of that was gleaned from the always reliable world of wikipedia lol).Sham aka Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329116400656617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-13713324395695822082008-11-19T18:16:00.000-05:002008-11-19T18:16:00.000-05:00Ha, great idea!

I've never seen that version before.<BR/><BR/>I've heard snatches of Walpurgis before--I recently downloaded a live concert bootleg of Sabbath playing in Paris, 1970. (Highly recommended, if you haven't seen it, BTW.) Ozzie sort of mixes the lyrics to Walpurgis and War Pigs together during the performance:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtqy4DTHGqgDavid Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-57658559592261058532008-11-19T13:00:00.000-05:002008-11-19T13:00:00.000-05:00I recently heard Rainbow's Temple of the King via ...I recently heard Rainbow's <I>Temple of the King</I> via a Youtube music video sent to me by a friend. Very curiously interesting. I got a nice old-school Zepplin vibe from it, and I think I'll have to dig a little deeper.<BR/><BR/>As for Sabbath and Paranoid - I'm not that familiar more out of laziness than disinterest. I guess it's time for me t get cracking and pick up another Metal album...<BR/><BR/>Great idea fodder!Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621016516937695074.post-28402109495149719112008-11-19T01:55:00.000-05:002008-11-19T01:55:00.000-05:00Wow, nice post.
