The story begins on November 16, 1969, when a young Alex Wilson recorded Black Sabbath live at Rugmans Club in Dumfries, Scotland. Inspired by what they heard, Iron Claw immediately began incorporating Sabbath\u2019s songs into their own set, performing and recording them months before Black Sabbath\u2019s legendary debut and sophomore albums had even been released.<\/p>\n
Included are historic versions of \u201cEvil Woman,\u201d \u201cWicked World,\u201d and \u201cSleeping Village\/Warning,\u201d recorded before the release of Black Sabbath\u2019s debut LP on February 13, 1970. Even more remarkable are Iron Claw\u2019s performances of \u201cFairies Wear Boots\u201d and \u201cWalpurgis\u201d \u2014 the early version of what would later become \u201cWar Pigs\u201d \u2014 recorded on July 16, 1970, over two months before Paranoid hit the shelves.<\/p>\n
These recordings capture a unique moment in time: teenagers from Scotland absorbing the birth of heavy metal in real time and becoming, arguably, the first band in history to publicly cover Black Sabbath. Long before other celebrated versions appeared, Iron Claw were already bringing these songs to the stage, preserving them on tape with raw energy and youthful passion.<\/p>\n
For Sabbath fans, collectors, and students of heavy metal history, this is more than an album \u2014 it\u2019s a missing chapter from the very origins of the genre.<\/p>\n
