Wax of the Week #109...Quartz: “Street Fighting Lady” 7” (1977)

The thing that strikes me about this British metal single (from their debut LP) is how much it sounds like Black Sabbath’s Heaven and Hell record from three years later; Tony Iommi produced this, and it makes you wonder if he didn’t pick up some ideas. This is the 1980 reissue version. Singer Mike Taylor died in 2016 at age 68, and future Sabbath keyboardist Geoff Nicholls was a member.
