Managed to get this off some railings outside the Hammy. Phoned on and off days before the gig to check it was still on. Never got an answer, so just went for it. Gutted when turning a corner to see 'BLACK SABBATH CANCELLED' ! Hey ho...

Sabbath Malvern Winter Gardens poster and tickect stub SIGNED 1970

Note: Sabotage T-shirt made into de facto poster because it wouldn't fit around the old beergut. Paranoid inner sleeve is of the mini LP replica CD's series from Sanctuary/Castle, it was the first Black Sabbath album I ever bought back in 2002 when I was 17, it got so worn out over the years from playing it all the time that Hand Of Doom wouldn't play right anymore, hence it's on the Wall now. I began this collection back in 2008 with the Revolution In Their Minds poster and finished it up roughly around March this year with the two flags on the left.

this is the actual magazine cover...the un texted image will be at the next home of metal show.

Took me a while to get this off a window in Shirley High Street Southampton, and in the rain. Surprisingly in fair nick.
