Black Sabbath/NJ,USA 1975 Upgrade

“Regardless of whether it’s official or unofficial, this is the unquestionable masterpiece of BLACK SABBATH.” Such a legendary board is now available in a brushed-up 2CD. The masterpiece is the super-excellent stereo sound board of the “August 5, 1975 Asbury Park performance.” Yes, it is a quality version of the super-famous “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST”. [The ultimate sound board that Iommi and Ozzy also wanted] If you are familiar with the already released board “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST”, you must have already made up your mind. After all, the Asbury Park sound board has been a long-time staple. It started with the air check of the radio broadcast and was even partially adopted in the official board “PAST LIVES”. Many versions have been loved by enthusiasts around the world, but the pinnacle of this work was “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST”. Not only is it a full recording different from the broadcast and official boards, but the sound quality is also tremendous. The guitar is shining brightly, the bass is thick and undulating, the drums are visible even in the structure of the kit, and the vocals are directly connected to the ears. Everything is superb, there is no noise even in the official album “PAST LIVES”, and the inverted localization is normal. It was not just a “slightly good” level, but an overwhelmingly better soundboard album than the official one. Such quality was not contained in “Best of Asbury Park 75”. Speaking of the apex soundboard of Sabbath in the 1970s, there is the traditional official album “LIVE AT LAST” and “MONTREUX 1970” which was made official in the Super Deluxe Edition of “PARANOID”, but “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST” was counted among the three major soundboards along with them. In fact, its incredible quality has been talked about across the ocean, and even Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osbourne himself wanted “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST” (according to sources, they were able to get it safely). [The best masterpiece that breaks the world’s highest record] As an absolute edition that represents the 70’s, it was very popular and sold out immediately. Not only the first edition, but also the 2nd edition has disappeared from the market. This work is the 3rd edition. It is a super-fine sound board that has been brushed up with the latest and meticulous remastering. The upgrade is also wonderful. The original “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST” was, in a word, at the same level as “LIVE AT LAST (the 2010 version, which is said to be the highest peak of LIVE AT LAST)”. However, this work is even more three-dimensional and modern. The contours of each sound stand out even more clearly, the silent part is a jet-black abyss, the high notes extend beautifully, and the mid-tones are vivid. The bass is so delicate that you can see the waveform of the vibe. Of course, there is no unnecessary sound pressure, and there is no over-peak distortion. The vividness is achieved by simply carefully adjusting each range, and the sound smoothly moves from the rise to the peak and muffling. The sound that was born in this way is truly a masterpiece. The original “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST” and “LIVE AT LAST” are out of the question, and the mix is ​​more refined than the rough table-top feel of “MONTREUX 1970”. Not only does it surpass the official, it is a live album that breaks the world’s highest record. [The one and only SABOTAGE TOUR in the 70s] The show depicted with such a “top” sound is also the highest peak. A lot of delicious super masterpieces up to “SABOTAGE” are played, and the unamble is ripe with plenty of fat, but it is not rotten. “Hole In The Sky” and “Megalomania”, which were not even performed in the reorganized Sabbath, are too delicious, and the jam time, which is a characteristic of the 1970s, is a “Sabbra Cadabra” version unique to the mid-period. “Iron Man” and “Black Sabbath”, which are played seamlessly from the jam medley, are also classic songs that were not actually heard in “LIVE AT LAST”. Each song is worth listening to, but the show structure itself is also a point. In fact, if you look at the history of Sabbath in the 1970s, it can be roughly divided into three periods. First, “from debut to 1974” was a repetition of minor changes with the addition of new songs. It evolved little by little. On the other hand, the final period “1976-1978” had the same basic structure, with only some new songs from “TECHNICAL ECSTASY” and “NEVER SAY DIE!” being replaced. In contrast, the “SABOTAGE TOUR” in this work is completely different in structure. “Killing Yourself To Live” opens the show, and “Symptom Of The Universe” is in the middle. The aforementioned “Hole In The Sky” and “Megalomania” are also unique, and “Spiral Architect” is also performed, which was made possible by the orchestration of support keyboardist Gerald Woodruff. Everything is at the top, but it is a special show that is completely different from other tours. It is truly a masterpiece. It is an absolute must-have. It is the best live album in history that updated the peak of BLACK SABBATH in the 1970s. The value of the original edition, which contains the original truth of the master, has not diminished in the slightest, but it is definitely this work that you can listen to and get excited about.
