Fact #116815
When:
Short story:
Black Sabbath begin recording sessions for their second album, Paranoid, at Regent Sound Studios in London, UK. (Pre-production rehearsals had been carried out at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth, Wales.)
Full article:
Rodger Bain (producer) : We did the backing tracks in the same place that we did the first album – Regent Sound, a little four-track just off Tottenham Court Road in the West End. It was a good-sounding studio, we always got good results in that room. It was an absolute shit-hole, but it worked! (Source : sleeve notes to the CD re-issue of Paranoid)
Tony Iommi (guitarist, Black Sabbath) : I started fiddling about on the guitar and came up with this riff (for the song Paranoid). When the others came back [from lunch], we recorded it on the spot.
