It was John Thomas out of Budgie that told Randy that his Gibson Les Paul was alot younger then he thought.I'm sure he thought he had a 1969 model,John Thomas was a big fan of Gibson guitars and he had a large collection of them.I'm sure i read about this in an interview or it may be mentioned in the Garry Sharpe Young book Rockdetector The story of the Ozzy Osbourne band...

Actually, he thought it was a '63 or '64, but it was actually a '74! :)

I say find the years that Gibson put gold knobs on a Les Paul with a black pickgaurd and you'll narrow it down. Usually gold knobs go with the cream pickgaurds and black knobs go with the black pickgaurd.
