Always considered this as rock-n-roll's version of Sinatra's 'When I was Seventeen" {#Meditate}

Hey there, Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" was released in 1970.

Yeah, you don't here this everyday.  It was sure a radical song back then!  Animals at their peak.

What a classic tune.

I think I had this record in the mid 60's? It was my very first album, backed by that San Francisco tune...
Thanks RP for digging this one up!
