Black Sabbath/Germany 1990 Upgrade

This year marks the 30th anniversary of dramatic SABBATH’s masterpiece “TYR”. A masterpiece record that conveys the ultimate tour of splendor is now available. This work is engraved with the best audience recording of “October 20, 1990 St. Wendel Performance (Germany)”. Yes, this is an upgrade album that refines that masterpiece “ST. WENDEL 1990” to its ultimate form! [The fierce pinnacle recording race of the ultimate beautiful tour] I couldn’t help but tout this as the “ultimate tour” and “masterpiece,” but unless you’re a collector, you might not understand. Let’s explain from the beginning. In the first place, “TYR TOUR” is a hidden gem of a recording, contrary to the fact that it is a super masterpiece. Along with the “MASTER OF REALITY TOUR” and “THE ETERNAL IDOL TOUR,” this is a tour that does not have any professional shots or soundboards, and due to the short schedule, the discovery of audience recordings has also been delayed. The famous recordings from the Cozy Powell era were all about “HEADLESS CROSS TOUR”…the situation continued for a long time. Of course, as time went on, excavation progressed, and the “top competition of Odins” became more intense because there was no sound board. Then, the two songs that have been rated as “the pinnacle of the TYR tour” have been released on CD. Released as “MILAN 1990” and “OSNABRUCK 1990″. These two are the best recordings of famous recordings that have won the fierce top race. However, almost at the same time as the permanent preservation, a newly excavated masterpiece appeared. That was “ST. WENDEL 1990” on the Shades label. It was a new recording that appeared with the hype of “digitalizing directly from the original master tape,” but it was not only the master quality, but the recording itself was amazing. In any case, the powerful and beautiful sound was only on par with “MILAN 1990” and “OSNABRUCK 1990” when it first appeared. This work is a refinement of such a shocking master through careful mastering. As a matter of fact, when it first appeared, there was one flaw that it lacked a sense of style, but it was overcome and the overall sound was also treated. This is the ultimate edition that is suitable for permanent preservation! I’m curious about the upgrade, but first of all is the show position. This work, together with “MILAN 1990” and “OSNABRUCK 1990”, is part of the “Apex Trilogy”, so be sure to check their relative positions in the schedule.

There was no visit to Japan, no North America, no Australia, just a European tour of about 3 months and 44 performances in total. Among them, the St. Wendel performance of this work was the 19th concert of the continental European version. The main battleground of this tour was Germany, where they held 17 performances, more than their home country of England. Among them, “October 20th-22nd” was the miraculous three-day consecutive performance that produced this work and “OSNABRUCK 1990” (by the way, you can also enjoy the Chunichi Düsseldorf performance in “DUSSELDORF 1990”). [The “last great recording” that achieved the ultimate quality] Now, onto the main topic. This work records such a show, but this is the most beautiful of all. Although the soundboard-like direct feeling is not as good as “OSNABRUCK 1990″, this work is superior in terms of beauty. Amidst a clear atmosphere, a slightly beautiful sound brings to mind the world of Norse mythology, with a powerful core penetrating the center and clear edges shining brightly. “OSNABRUCK 1990” was so powerful that there were moments when the bass peak was frightening, but this work does not have that. To begin with, the studio’s work “TYR” had both the beauty of a chilly echo feeling and a sharp edge, and this nuance is still alive in this work. In fact, the mastering of this work is at this “edge”. Although the original sound was beautiful enough, it was undeniable that it was a little rounded, and when Koji hit the bass drum repeatedly, the sound became stiff. However, in this work, each shot is clearly made by sharpening the edges while maintaining the beautiful echo feeling. Furthermore, the stereo feeling has become more vivid, and the unique dynamism of the solid sound and illusion, which has been described as “like hitting a drum,” is beautifully depicted. And, the biggest drawback in the original sound was “Black Sabbath”. Those who experienced “ST. If you listen to it microscopically with headphones, you might feel some traces of it, but it’s only “a bit dusty.” The show drawn with such ultimate sound is the extreme north of dramatic SABBATH. Speaking of the Cozy era, many people are familiar with “HEADLESS CROSS TOUR,” so let’s organize the sets while comparing them. Ozzy era (4 songs)・BLACK SABBATH: Black Sabbath・PARANOID: Iron Man/Paranoid・MASTER OF REALITY: Children Of The Grave Ronnie era (3 songs)/Glenn era (1 song)・HEAVEN AND HELL: Neon Knights/Die Young/Heaven And Hell ・SEVENTH STAR: Heart Like A Wheel (★) Martin era (5 songs) ・HEADLESS CROSS: Headless Cross/When Death Calls ・TYR: The Sabbath Stones (★) / The Law Maker (★) / Anno Mundi (The Vision) (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not played on “HEADLESS CROSS TOUR”. …and it looks like this. The best feeling has faded because famous songs such as “Children of the Sea”, “War Pigs”, “The Shining”, and “The Mob Rules” have been dropped, but instead, the songs included in the set are too wonderful. “The Sabbath Stones”, which continues the lineage of “Black Sabbath” and “Heaven And Hell”, the most exciting number “The Law Maker”, and the embodiment of dramatism “Anno Mundi (The Vision)”… I can’t help but feel the pain in my greasy hands as I listen to this treasured song from the super masterpiece “TYR”. “Heart Like A Wheel” by “SEVENTH STAR” is not only extremely rare, but combined with Neil’s bass solo (also rare) and Iommi’s solo, it creates a jam time that feels like the 70s have been revived. It will be given to you. “TYR TOUR”, which depicted the ultimate in dramaticism and dynamism, ended in a stalemate. This work is the best live album to enjoy the unexplored era when you can’t expect a sound board. “MILAN 1990”, “OSNABRUCK 1990”, and this work are a trilogy that cannot really be ranked as good or bad, but on the other hand, they are on a different level from the other works. Our press trilogy is the conclusion of “TYR TOUR” after 30 years. Although completing this trilogy is the standard, this work is also perfect as a “first book”. And, its wonderfulness will definitely make you want “more!” Such a masterpiece. Live at Sporthalle, Sankt Wendel, Germany 20th October 1990 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(UPGRADE) Disc 1 (69:42) 1.
