As the abundant and exhaustive notes published on the back cover explain, "The Rebel" (written by Locomotive singer and keyboardist Norman Haines, who was initially expected to join the group and who played piano and organ in the recording made at Trident Studios in London) is a true "holy grail" for collectors dating back to the period in which the band, at that time still known as Earth, was about to change to its definitive name; Haines also wrote the bluesy "When I Came Down", recorded at Zella Studios in Birmingham in October 1969, while the three pieces that complete the A-side of the LP are alternate takes of famous songs later included in the first and homonymous album by Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Opening with a cover of "Early One Morning" by bluesman Elmore James, the tracklist of the second side continues with two songs later included in "Black Sabbath" and closes with a version of "Wicked World", published as the B-side of "Evil Woman": the four songs were recorded live on November 16, 1969 at the Rugman's Youth Club in Dumfries, Scotland, on a Grundig reel-to-reel recorder.

The candy on the cake is represented by a gallery of those rare far-eastern-styled artworks which have become true collectables! Starting from Hush, from their debut album in 1968 to Hallelujah one year later, an epic John Lord rendition on keyboards one year later. A remarkable collection of rarities on a hi-quality disc. Can you hear the difference in the mixes?

The tapes survived and featured here in their best-possible quality. While we have other sought-after tracks on this LP B Side, from a stunning rare MGM Promo version "Sunshine Day" which is the debut single from Jethro Tull.in 1968. On the single label, the band is credited as Jethro Toe. The B side "Aeroplane", is the first released attempt of edging into Prog territory. Later, with exclusive 7" vinyl-originated mono mixes, the follow up singles of the now established band on Chrysalis label complete this LP collection.

From solo pre-Queen debut to fame, these seminal tracks demonstrate the talent of four individuals and their bands at the beginning of their carreers. Culled from acetates, rare tapes and test pressings - one of the most famous incarnations was without a doubt the group "Smile" leaded by Brian May and Roger Taylor, represented here in this Compilation with 3 rare tracks, as well as Freddy Mercury band Ibex covering live two sought-after Beatles' and Elvis' tracks and the impossible to find Freddy follow-up band called Wreckage with an obscure demo. The remainder of the album is all to be discovered with surprising Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon early group rehearsal tunes which never appeared before on vinyl!
