The Wizard Black Sabbath

What's not to like?

Gorgeous blues harp intro, some amazing drum fills, a beat that doesn't want to let go of you and some relentless Tony Iommi riffing.

This is the sound of a band at their creative best, clearly enjoying what they're doing.

I heard this for the first time in about 15 years today and immediately picked up my guitar and played along with it. I'd never tried playing it before but was damned near note-perfect. Thats how much a part of me this song is.

I had this as the B-side to the UK release of the Paranoid single and thought this should have been the A-side.

Still do.
