This is a photo of the band Earth in 1969. After being mistakenly booked as another band of the same name, they changed it, and in 1970, they released their self-titled debut album, “Black Sabbath”.

History's cool kids, looking fantastic!

A pictorial and video celebration of history's coolest kids, everything from beatniks to bikers, mods to rude boys, hippies to ravers. And everything in between.
