Children of the Sea
A lead tone that has to carry a melody rather than a riff, played on the same boosterless rig that made Heaven and Hell sound so different from the Ozzy albums. With the treble booster gone and the gain living inside the Dawk-modified Super Lead, Iommi's sustain comes from the amp's own preamp rather than from a box squashing the front end -- which is why the long held notes here bloom and decay instead of sitting on a fixed wall of fuzz.
