About a month after the recording, producer Mike Butcher flew to New York to oversee the mixing and Mastering of “Sabotage”. Butcher said one night when Ozzy and Bill were messing around a piano, he hit the record button. He added the 31 second bit “Blow on a Jug” after “The Writ” - Back in May 23rd, 1970, at the ‘Hollywood festival’ the band, Mungo Jerry, busted out some jugs and the crowd went wild. Ozzy said “he was playing fucking jugs and he stole the day” Ward said it was a drunken song that he and Ozzy would sing in a van or on a plane. Bill played the piano and Ozzy was blowing on a brown cider jug. A “sort of” tribute to Mungo Jerry…
I love this song! I consider this the ultimate Sabbath Fan inside joke. If you've loved and listened to Sab as long as I have you know and love this hidden gem. I bought my first Sab album Master of Reality 35 years ago and have been a loyal fan ever since. thanks for posting this song.
AH yes... I remember listening to this and Masters on a loop whilst doing homework in the 6th grade (1981). This was the perfect ending to the evening. A good night lullaby.
As a jug band musician and big fan of the early jug bands, this has damaged my head. I'm wondering how many Sabbath classics would work jug band style. War Jugs? Into the Jug? Jugs of Confusion? Sabbath Juggy Sabbath?
I love Ozzy and met the original lineup in 1998 personally. I worked for the media in New York City and had them sign my Never Say Die! album. Like I said, I've been a fan for a long time, but I do like the Dio years. Neon Knights is just such a rockin' song.
Heaven and Hell has about 4 great songs and 4 meh songs. Mob Rules wasn't good enough for me to buy back when it came out. Personally I think Ian Gillan did better on "Born Again". That album was sick.
I had Sabatage on 8 track in 1977 and I remembering this song being on it after the writ at the very end.Must of been Sabbaths idea of a joke or something I guess.
Thanks for the reply JC. Not too many people are hip to Blow on a Jug. Kinda like the Aprodites Child 666 lp. I bought a greek import of it once on album and discovered that the american version everyones heard on album and cd has been edited. Kick ass guitar parts were edited on the song The battle of the locusts etc. Check out Lucifers Friend first lp/cd It cranks!
I see a couple of "incorrect guesses" below * !! lolol ..... It's that little 30 second trackette at the end of "Am I Going INSANE" ! (radio) Aw Roit AwzEE !!!!!! \\ //
I got Sabotage on 8 track tape when it first came out ,this was on it. The subsequent purchases,lp and cd didnt have it. Thanks for posting a sabbath diddy i havent heard in 34 years! Oh by the way 8 track tapes suck!
Well , OK , and all that stuff .... .... So , Why the Frig doesn't anybody Blow on the Flippin' JUG ???? !!!!! LOL LOL LOL !!!! We can get a Washboard and a Washtub Bass Easy e'nuff !!!!!
I don't know. I probably got it at a used record/ CD/ cassette store for about 4bucks a long time ago. I sold it back to them though, now that we are in the CD era.
It's part of Sabotage and the end of The Writ, one of the most intense songs ever. If they had called it a career after that, I would have understood. What are you gonna do after Sabotage? Make Technical Ecstasy of course. :D
@Jugband89 Dio is better than "some douche"...better that they did "something" than nothing, and I got a lot of joy out of Geezer and Iommi on some of that stuff. Mob Rules was on my turn table a lot.
It could also maybe be Tony Iommi. He fiddles with Piano. But not enough to play like that, Mister ward, maybe. But I believe this is around the time, Geoff Nicholas was in the band as a back ground members doing the Piano. So I'mma have to agree with the other guy that it may be Nicholas.
do you agree that Ozzy-Sabbath is the only true Sabbath? It's not right without him... that would be like Led Zeppelin replacing Robert Plant with some douche.

Best album I've ever listened to
Yep, it pretty much kicks ass the whole way through it.
Yup no other band was doing it at this level and no one has since. The musicianship, vocals and lyrics are incredible on every song.
I saw a Black Sabbath cover band and this is the only song they played and they just kept repeating it.
this is the heaviest thing they have ever released.
@Sabbathmaiden fan can there be two 1st placers?
It sure is heavy.
The birth of death metal🤘

There's no voice like Ozzy's. When I first heard him it was Sabotage album I couldn't believe what jam this was. It is just brilliant.
AH yes... I remember listening to this and Masters on a loop whilst doing homework in the 6th grade (1981). This was the perfect ending to the evening. A good night lullaby.
It's at the end of "The Writ" if I remember correctly.
Yes only on the album or cassette not the CD
@@daviddesimone430 I've got the CD and it is there indeed
@@kerrykingdiamon maybe on newer versions but on the original US WB CD(!) the CD ends with The Writ fade out.
Bill sounds like a funny drunk to be around

Hahaha that's great 😅
Jugs of the Grave.
Children of the Jugs
lololololol
the first hidden track? and a wonderfully pointless one at that. i remember loving discovering this.

this is at the end of The Writ off of the Sabotage album.
TheCOTN Mine doesn't has it D:
I had Sabatage on 8 track in 1977 and I remembering this song being on it after the writ at the very end.Must of been Sabbaths idea of a joke or something I guess.
They like to horse around a lot, they were still quite young at the time.
yeah i had sabatoge on an album was disappointed when i upgraded to a cd copy and blow on a jug wasnt on it.
it was only on 8 track, vinyl and cassette I think.
Ok it was on the 8-track too. It is on the album and cassette but not the CD
It was recorded by the engineer without them knowing and decided to put it in the album without saying anything.
Full volume Sabbath is how I heard this nearly 40 years ago.
lmao this is at the end of the writ XD
No hidden message for the satanic youth :D Just a silly, but funny joke
My next ringtone
Mungo Jerry's favourite tune
I had this song on my Sabotage 8 track tape. When I bought the CD it didnt have it on it.
Everyone's coming to NY! It reminds me of escape from new york. It's very similar.
love it.
maestros
I heard it on cassette, but you had to have it cranked!
jjjxxx777 you musta had one of the first cassettes. I remember gettin the 8 track the same or maybe one year after its release i think it was 1975
Groundbreaking. 😁

ozzy rules
I always thought it was blow on the joint?

Sounds like Edgar Broughton

Jajajajaja Ozzy
what the name of the album came from, the recording enginner "sabotaged" them. LOL
XD hilarious
Some of there best work
Always thought he was saying “be like me and go on to church”
Sabbath with dio (and appice) is entirely another band
@Jugband89 Dio is better than "some douche"...better that they did "something" than nothing, and I got a lot of joy out of Geezer and Iommi on some of that stuff. Mob Rules was on my turn table a lot.
what track do you have to turn up?
I wouldn't call Dio "some douche". I like both incarnations.
It's about Bill Ward's alcohol problem
Animal Collective based their entire discography on this song, little known fact
We used to think they were saying blow on a joint 😂
who was on the piano ?
bill ward
didn't know bill played the piano (thx)
maybe Geoff Nichols
It could also maybe be Tony Iommi. He fiddles with Piano. But not enough to play like that, Mister ward, maybe. But I believe this is around the time, Geoff Nicholas was in the band as a back ground members doing the Piano. So I'mma have to agree with the other guy that it may be Nicholas.
Yeah, it's Heaven & Hell.
play it backwards ozzy singing he's.. smoking a joint : 0P
@jeguttaja1 or tony. who sings?+
It's Bill Ward, and Ozzy.
@@SinewRending It sounds like Ozzy, not Bill.
@@parandersson6541 *It's Bill singing, with Ozzy on backing vocals.*
@@SinewRending ok
I am super hug Black Sabbath fan frist time hearing this lol …. Funny crap
lmao
WTF...
i thought they inhaled from a jug
Making fun of Mungo Jerry and songs like « In the summertime «
do you agree that Ozzy-Sabbath is the only true Sabbath? It's not right without him... that would be like Led Zeppelin replacing Robert Plant with some douche.
He's singing like that on purpose. . . it's suppose to be funny.
