Song for Jim is Jim Simpson their manager, who ran a jazz club & push the Sabbs to get their own sound cuz blues bands drove customers away. He's articulated in an Easter Egg under Band History in the BS Vol1 dvd how Iommi loved Charlie Christian, Ozzy covered & was influenced by Jimmy Rushing, Bill Ward by Jo Jones & the whole band is all about the big riff- like Count Basie.
Song For Jim had Tony on flute at one point- it was actually for a drum solo. It may well be the song where he played a solo and was too out of it to notice the flute wasn't actually at his lips!
Check out 0:33 in the song Her Sisters They Were Weak by Witchcraft. Very similar, but maybe not intentional. Although I'd be surprised if it wasn't intentional as Witchcraft "rip off" (in a good way) a lot of other Sabbath riffs.
I wish Sabbath would release an album of their early blues days.
My dream!
Someday I hope to here a song for jim completely. Very catchy jazz riff.
The full song is called the rebel
The Rebel demo is awesome.

The rebel is another sharp riff for back in that time.

Damn shame iommis kept so much in the vault sounds like a very good song and the live jam version is great. dont know why he hoards so much

If you actually knew what the clip was, you`d know it was played in the video.
Anyone know, where that clips with recording from a car, city view and their faces come from?
