Black Sabbath photographs, concert ticket and flyer (1970)

Ticket and photo from gig on 13th May 1970

How did I come by this priceless rare ticket? I went to a record fair at Birmingham NEC back in 1994 and bought a first pressing of Black Sabbath's first album for £25. When I got it home to examine it this ticket was inside the sleeve. How lucky am I?

This was Black Sabbaths first concert in Georgia. It was also my first concert, I was never quite the same.  After this, it’s like I heard everything with new ears. I was transformed.
