Notes: FROM SURE LOW GEN SOURCE to me, IMHO, sounds like a radio broadcast recorded on cassette..and maybe this is around the 3rd or 4th gen copy. IMO soundquality is AMAZING. especially if you compare it with the prevoius versions out there..who sounded like a 10th gen tape.. this is probably the best source you will hear until the master (pre-fm=??=?) will show up songs are : Behind the wall of sleep walpurgis

Notes: 3/4/70 Kouzenthans Koln (Cologne) Track Listing : Behind The Wall Of Sleep -> Jazz Improvisation [often mistitled as "Rat Salad"] , War Pigs [alternate lyrics] Paranoid [Doesn't appear here but appears on L'OLYMPIA, and source is unconfirmed] Good audience recording, which is among the earliest live recordings of Sabbath in circulation. This mysterious live fragment has been circulating as Koln 3/4/70, but I have my doubts about this. For one, I haven't been able to find any mention of such a gig in their early itineraries. Both the venue name and date are often misinterpreted. Jan Hoel pointed out to me that 'Kouzenthans' is probably just a mispelling of "Konzerthaus", which is German for 'concert hall'. The date for this tape is often listed as April 3rd, 1970, but this is just a common date transposition error. Sabbath were playing in West Croydon, England on April 3rd. The sound of this tape is somewhat boomy, but clear enough to appreciate. It's a spirited performance that might seem slightly more so due to the slightly fast tape speed on the MASTERS OF GERMANY source, which is currently the only known bootleg to contain these tracks. "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" contains a jazz section at the tail end of the song, which also appears on several live recordings from this era. My theory is that this was originally part of the song, but was edited out of the album version. Sabbath continued to perform the full version (with the jazz section) until the end of 1970. When "BTWOS" was resurrected for later tours, they reverted to the album version. While this can?t be stated with any certainty (until the true source and date have been confirmed), this tape may contain the earliest known live recording of "Walpurgis", which was later re-titled "War Pigs" with new lyrics. The rendition of "Walpurgis" on this tape is similar to the one on the John Peel 4/26/71 Sunday Show session, with Tony playing some quirky fills that weren't used on the final recorded version. And of course, Ozzy was singing the original lyrics. CD-R?s: L'OLYMPIA: The two bonus tracks on this CD-R boot of the Paris '73 show are allegedly from Koln '70. Interestingly, "Paranoid" is listed as the 2nd track. Assuming the date is correct for this show, this would be impossible. "Paranoid" wasn't written until the PARANOID album sessions in June! It is more than likely a mislabeled "Walpurgis". If anyone has this boot, please let me know what the last track is from! MASTERS OF GERMANY (Burning Bush): The first source to surface for Koln 3/4/70. Tape speed runs too fast. Also contains an audience recording from Speyer, Germany - September 4th, 1971.
