Description
The “June 2, 1986 Hammersmith Odeon performance” has been made official and represents the Ray Gillan era. Introducing a big 3-disc set that tells the whole story. This show is most famous for “Ray Era BLACK SABBATH”. FM broadcasting has been known for a long time, and it is not only included in the traditional bootleg “RAY RULES” but also included in the bonus disc of the “SEVENTH STAR” deluxe edition. Tony Iommi himself said, “I was able to follow in Ray’s footsteps.” However, what has made this show even more legendary is actually the audience recording. All songs are included, far exceeding those on FM broadcasts, and the quality is outstanding. At our store, we have delivered the trilogy “DEFINITIVE SHEFFIELD 1986 (Sheffield performance)”, “SEVENTH ZONE (Leicester performance)” and “LAST GIG WITH RAY (Nottingham performance)” by the master master “Crazy S.”, but Hammer Smith’s audience recording is the only masterpiece that has been said to be comparable to the “Crazy S.” collection. Moreover, because it appeared earlier than the “Crazy S.” collection, it is a famous recording that was widely known as “the pinnacle of the Ray era.” This work is a 3-disc set that includes the best audience recording and the best version of FM broadcast. Now, let’s introduce each of them in detail. [Disc 1-2: Full audience recording] First of all, the full audience recording that is the true essence of the legend. This is the best version. The master of this work is the same as Langley label’s masterpiece “FEATURING RAY GILLEN”. This was an absolutely amazing item. The powerful core of the performance and singing voice, the details that shine crystal clear, surpass even a poor soundboard…or should I say, it really surpasses the soundboard. As mentioned above, the official “SEVENTH STAR” deluxe edition includes a soundboard recording, but to be honest, it’s out of the question! It’s not about the length, but the sound quality of every second of each song is far, far, far beyond!! Well, the main reason was that the deluxe edition had such a terrible sound, but even by the standards of the 1980s audience, it was out of the ordinary. If the direct performance sound and singing voice are close to each other at zero distance, the extremely small venue acoustics will shine in every detail. When “FEATURING RAY GILLEN” appeared more than 15 years ago, it was highly praised, saying, “Such an amazing recording existed!!!”, but even now, no master has appeared that surpasses it. . “And, another point is that it is the longest record in history. In “FEATURING RAY GILLEN”, the beginning of “Die Young” was missing and started with a fade-in, but in this work, the missing part was supplemented from the FM sound board ( Of course, there are other gaps in tape changes between songs, etc., but this is the only one that could be compensated for with FM broadcasting). Even more surprising is the naturalness of the connection. Even though it uses the highest-quality master in the history of FM broadcasting, it doesn’t feel out of place with the audience (strictly speaking, the AUD part sounds better). From here, you can understand how the master of this work is transcendent. [Disc 3: FM broadcast 1st gene cassette] Following the two-disc set of full live albums is the highest-ever edition of the FM broadcast soundboard. As mentioned above, it has been known for a long time, but this disc is neither a copy nor a remaster. It is the 1st Gene Cassette that was discovered in recent years. Since this is not the broadcast master itself, it was not made into a permanent preservation press, but the sound is definitely the best ever. In modern times, I think the official “SEVENTH STAR” Deluxe Edition should be compared, but it’s much more natural than the official one, and the sound is natural and the pitch is accurate…or should I say, the Deluxe Edition doesn’t have such a terrible sound? So, was it really okay to go official? The question comes back to me. It’s definitely better than the traditional version “RAY RULES”, and Iommi may not know about other recordings, but… If you are a core collector, you know that the FM album “RAY OF THE BLACK LIGHT” from the San Antonio performance has a sound more suitable for the official one, and to be honest, this work has not surpassed it. However, it is definitely the best ever for Hammersmith SBD, and this work is the best soundboard for “Seventh Star”, “Die Young”, “N.I.B.”, and “Paranoid” that could not be heard even on that masterpiece FM. It is a live album where you can enjoy the finest “Ray era” that even Iommi does not know. An exquisite full audience comparable to the transcendental trilogy “DEFINITIVE SHEFFIELD 1986”, “SEVENTH ZONE”, and “LAST GIG WITH RAY”, and a valuable FM soundboard from the Ray era. This is a 3-disc set that packs both of them with the highest quality. “BLACK SABBATH of the Ray era” disappeared without anyone knowing, and even officially remains with only poor quality.
