"Good review dude. I remember hearing The Rebel and Early One Morning a few months back, and they weren't all that great, but Thomas Jane sounds like it's quite something."



How would you rate it run?

Hahahaha wow, that was not what I was expecting. Interesting indeed, but what a mess of a track lol. Sounds like it was a jam recorded live

It's not exactly a masterpiece but I will give this a passing grade of 3 it's a rough demo but it's a demo that will lead them into a future of putting their first 6 great if not classic albums in their time with Ozzy.

If you're a fan of the band you should definitely listen to this one. It's not anything special but it's historically significant. Plus it only contains four tracks.

The Rebel could actually be awesome with a better production

This seems fake as hell to me. "When I Came Down" is very obviously edited, as the loops are clumsy and that final echoey repeat is just hilariously awkward. All the audio sounds like it comes from different sources, and Thomas James does NOT sound like it features Tony Iommi and Bill Ward. I've also read that "Early One Morning Blues" is a recorded live performance of Mythology, Tony and Bill's original band, and is an Elmore James cover.

Tony said these are Sabbath's recordings. I don't think he has any reasons to lie.



"Thomas James does NOT sound like it features Tony Iommi and Bill Ward"



lol, Iommi's riffs and tone are unmistakable.

Thomas Jane is not a Black Sabbath track. It is part of a 22 minutes song called Z Tomaszem, which was recorded by a polish band called SBB. Therefore, I changed the review and the track-list.



I apologize for not searching deep enough to discover the origin of each song.



Here is the original track by SBB:

I knew it wasn't Black Sabbath! Glad to know where it came from, finally.

So... is this a booltleg and has never been official or it is one of the most blatant acts of plagiarism in rock?





Is there any Sabbath member that has ever said something about this record?

Since this isn't an official release, I doubt they ever made such a statement.

So, it is a bootleg



It shouldn't be in the database then, right?

I'm not entirely sure. The first two tracks were official recordings and got released separately as singles before their debut. This format was prob fan made.
