Black Sabbath/London,UK 2013 2 Source Ver.

Audience Master, which represents BLACK SABBATH’s 2013 “13” tour, will be released on CD, a long-awaited CD for all Sabbath enthusiasts! This work is a complete recording of the London “O2 Arena” performance on December 10th, which was the first performance on the 2013 UK tour, from two different masters, both with the highest quality sound. A 4-CD set will forever preserve a night carved in British rock history! BLACK SABBATH, with their new album “13”, literally conquered the world on their 2013 world tour. They toured around Japan, Oceania, the Americas, and European countries, thrilling metal fans all over the world. During this tour, the live performance in Australia was announced as the official video work “LIVE… GATHERED IN THEIRE MASSES”, which realistically conveys the overflowing enthusiasm. However, the 2013 Sabbath Live is not only told by this official work. Among enthusiasts, almost all performances are preserved in the form of sound sources or videos. Including the CD “JAPAN AT LAST” which recorded the Japan performance, “COMPLETE MELBOURNE 2013” which can be said to be the true “LIVE… GATHERED IN THEIRE MASSES”, and “13 IN U.S.A.” and “DEFINITIVE PHILADELPHIA” from the North American tour, etc. You can enjoy wonderful records in each region of the tour destination. Among these, the one that represents the European (and UK) region that concluded the 2013 live show is “LIVE AT O2”, which became a hot topic immediately after its release the other day. The London performance where this live was recorded is not only the first day of Sabbath’s triumphant return to the UK, but also coincides with the historic event of “O2 Arena performance on December 10th”, which is the same as LED ZEPPELIN’s 2007 reunion live. I am. This work, which captures that pattern with a definitive sound, is truly a dark “CELEBRATION DAY”. This time, in response to the passionate requests of such Sabbath mania, the two sound sources from the same day’s performance will finally be released on CD! The masters of “LIVE AT O2” and “TRIUMPHAL CELEBRATION” have been further refined and sublimated into literally flawless sound sources! Even Sabbath’s 2013 Audience Source has been decided to be released with a sound that can be declared as the “best sound quality”! Discs 1 and 2 include the “LIVE AT O2” master as “RECORDER 1”. This sound source was recorded by a famous taper who has released many masterpieces to the world, including performances in London by Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, etc. Not only does it allow you to listen to performances with the best sound, but it also has the highest value as a record of the performance. This time, the short opening intro of “LIVE AT O2” was supplemented from another source, “TRIUMPHAL CELEBRATION” master. In addition, mastering has been applied to suppress the hall noise that I noticed in the previous take, further increasing the resolution of the performance. The degree of relaxation and separation of the musical sounds was such that when it was first released, people even whispered, “Did they mix line sound sources?” However, this time it has completely surpassed even that previous release. I’m sure there’s no one who listens to this and doesn’t think, “This is perfect!” The best aspects of this recording, such as the best sense of realism and the glaring edge of the sound, have both been further enhanced. Iommi’s guitar turns into a sword, and the sharp, heavy roar of “Under The Sun”, “End Of The Beginning”, “Iron Man”, and “God Is Dead?” are breathtaking! In “Fairies Wear Boots” and “Rat Salad”, not only Iommi and Geezer but also Tommy Krufetos’ drumming is superb, letting you enjoy the heaviness and groove to the fullest. “Children Of The Grave”, where the live enthusiasm reaches its peak, and the ferocity of “Paranoid”. It’s a different dimension from what has already happened. Please experience the sound world that is similar to “LIVE AT O2″, but is actually vastly (no, completely!) different with this work! Discs 3 and 4, which become “RECORDER 2”, contain the “TRIUMPHAL CELEBRATION” master, which is another definitive sound source, as a “completed form” in both name and reality. Although this sound source has a gift title, it is a sound source that was even called “Sabbath’s best recording of 2013” immediately after its release (some enthusiasts even said it was “better than “LIVE AT O2”). Ta). From the well-balanced and easy-to-listen musical tone to the somewhat vintage temperature that drifts throughout the album, the tone it brings is a texture that suits Ozzy Sabbath. Not only Geezer’s bass, but also Iommi’s guitar is reproduced with a different saturation from “RECORDER 1”, and Ozzy’s performance that stirs up the venue also entangles the ears like magic. “War Pigs”, with its magnificent worldview that spreads out like a panorama, is suddenly overwhelming. You can enjoy the mood of the ’70s with songs such as “Into The Void,” which is as elusive as dark matter, yet gives you the feeling of infinite mass, and “N.I.B.,” which has a plump and voluminous base note that is irresistible. Of course, the original sound source has also been thoroughly remastered, and the musical tone has become even sharper (while retaining its good points), and the characteristic “Line style” sound has developed into a “sound image that approaches the official one”. If you play it through loud speakers, you’ll even be mistaken for an official live performance! After the live performance ended with the roaring “Paranoid,” the outro “Zeitgeist” was also recorded for the longest time. The fact that this scene was captured in the highest quality also makes this recording special. Furthermore, this work has some special features. For both “RECORDER 1” and “RECORDER 2,” the discs were divided between “N.I.B.” and “End Of The Beginning.” In fact, at their revival performance in 2012, only side A of their debut album “BLACK SABBATH” was reproduced, which became a hot topic. Although “The Wizard” was missing from the 2013 tour, the traces of “first A-side reproduction” are engraved in the flow from “Black Sabbath” to “N.I.B.”. Therefore, discs 1 and 3 end with “N.I.B.”, which is the same as “the end of side A of the first”, and discs 2 and 4 start with “End Of The Beginning”, which is the same as the new album “13”. When you actually listen to it, I think it will suit the analog generation enthusiasts who loved the first album. It’s a really trivial story, but even in such a place, the thorough attention to detail is evident. December 10th can now be called an “anniversary” in the world of British rock. It may have been fate that LED ZEPPELIN and BLACK SABBATH, who have been receiving awards side by side since the ’70s, performed a special live performance on the same day and at the same venue. Moreover, the fact that two types of such historical live performances were left in amazing recordings. This is nothing short of a miracle. This work is sure to be the envy of Sabbath enthusiasts around the world. Those who already have the previously released “LIVE AT O2” should listen to it and compare it, and be surprised and satisfied by the difference.
