First song recorded by Black Sabbath in 1969. This ominous song probably freaked some people out the first time they heard it 52 years ago.
"Jugband Blues" from 1967, the last track Syd Barrett would ever record with Pink Floyd, right as he was going off the deep end.

As a huge PF fan I have often wondered what the band would have been like if Syd had kept it together.
