“Rock n Roll Doctor” by Black Sabbath

"Rock n Roll Doctor" turns up on Technical Ecstasy, the seventh Black Sabbath album, which hit the shops on 25 September 1976 on Warner Bros. in the US and Canada and on Vertigo everywhere else. After the legal grind that hung over Sabotage, the band hauled themselves down to Criteria Studios in Miami and kept edging away from the darkness and doom that had once been their stock in trade.

All four of them share the writing credit. Ozzy Osbourne takes the lead vocal, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward man the guitar, bass and drums, and guest Gerald Woodruffe sits in on keyboards, the instrument this album leans on hardest to break with the sludge of the early records. Iommi mixed the track with engineer Robin Black.
