Earth (British band) explained

Earth, initially credited as The Earth, was a British psychedelic music band active from 1968 to 1969. Black Sabbath changed the name of their hard-edged blues band Earth to Black Sabbath in order to avoid confusion with this band.[1] [2]

The line-up included The Misunderstood's Glenn Campbell on steel guitar and Robin Parnell on bass guitar. The band released two singles and recorded radio sessions for the BBC.[3] After the second single Campbell disbanded Earth and formed Juicy Lucy.[4]
