     "Pshaw!" I say! :)  What kind of budget was _Black Sabbath_ recorded
on?  No, it was a dodgy production decision, IMO, and therefore presumably
Pearlman's fault :)  After all, the sound _did_ improve once his influence
was lessened.

     It doesn't take a lot of fancy studio gear to get a monster guitar
sound.  You just have to "move some air" and keep anyone from flattening
the EQ with a giant piece of tin. :)

Cheers,
Carl
