Widowmaker LP

[Jason Scruton]

>From black-sabbath.com 
The bass line for Heaven & Hell was written by Geoff Nicholls. Geoff
Nicholls was originally brought in to replace Geezer Butler, but moved to
keyboards when Geezer returned to the band before the album was recorded. 
There's another rumour that the bass on this album was actually played by
Craig Gruber, and not Geezer, but this is largely unfounded.  Craig was
briefly tried out for bass during the period that Geezer quit, but did not
formally join. All the songs were written before Geezer returned - the only
song that Geezer actually had a hand in writing was Neon Knights, which was
the final song recorded. 

fun facts. I only just read that because a friend bougth the album for me.
replete with a lynn curlee cover (the Agents of Fortune cover creator.)  

hmmm ... there's a contest : 6 degrees of BOC-L.
