The tracks Black Sabbath, War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots, and Behind The Wall Of Sleep are taken from a live recording from the John Peel Sunday Show. It is from 4.26.70 in London. NOT the earlier show done with Earth, and there are NO Earth Demos in circulation. The tracks Fairies Wear Boots and War Pigs are done off their non-released (at the time) album Paranoid and might appear to have different lyrics.
