Black Sabbath/Switzerland 1970 Upgrade

BLACK SABBATH, a heavyweight in British rock… no, heavy music all over the world. Their highest peak stereo soundboard album is reprinted with the highest quality. [The apex soundboard that should be recorded as an incident in music history] The highest peak album is engraved with the “Montreux performance on August 31, 1970”. It is a super-excellent stereo soundboard recording from the appearance at the music festival “MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL”. This live album is exactly the apex. There are countless masterpieces of the original SABBATH from the 1970s, but only three can be nominated for the apex race. The traditional official live album “LIVE AT LAST”, the mid-period apex soundboard “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AST LAST”, and this work. These three are all super masterpieces, but there is no doubt that this work will be the most promising candidate for the apex. The quality can only be described as “transcendental”, the contents of the complete show, the band potential of the great masterpieces “BLACK SABBATH” and “PARANOID” that changed history… everything is at the peak. Unlike the mid-period “LIVE AT LAST” and “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AST LAST” that were trying to expand the possibilities, this sound board is filled with the pure initial impulse of the original four people. The impact of twisting the concept of “weight” (not by words but by feeling) into music that should be the vibration of air has not faded after half a century, but has only become more and more brilliant. It was in 2010 that the apex sound board of such early SABBATH shook the world. It is said that the master was excavated in the deluxe edition business that was officially underway at the time, and the sound was better than many sound boards that had been excavated until then, the performance was too real and vivid, and the fact that no one had heard it. The huge shock that made overseas researchers say “If you are not surprised by this, you are not a SABBATH fan” swept the earth. [Official version that could not be the top] I have introduced it several times since its discovery, but the situation changed in 2016. Although it did not see the light of day in the deluxe edition business that was rumored at first, it was finally made official with the super deluxe edition of the 4-disc “PARANOID” released in 2016. The bootleg that introduced the historical treasure in advance was finished … … It should have been. However, it was not. The 4-disc super deluxe edition “PARANOID” was a limited edition that quickly sold out and went out of print, but the content is more than that. In fact, the official version was edited from the excavation master and was about 4 minutes shorter. This is not a difference in the songs played or a difference in pitch. If you are familiar with the records of the early 1970s, you will know that the tuning and preparation scenes between songs at the live performances of that time are much longer than today. Although the official version of Montreux 70 included more than the standard, it was still cut and the show was shortened. Of course, it is not surprising that the official version released as a work for everyone is edited, but what is contained in this work is nothing other than the site of the revolution. The experience of the show is extremely valuable, even between songs and the passage of time in real time. [A live album that reached the pinnacle from the underground side] In this way, the original excavation master was once again in the spotlight, and this work reigns at the top of the mountain. Although we have introduced it under the same title, this work has been polished again with the latest and meticulous mastering. The quality of the work maximizes the potential of the miraculous original master. Of course, there is no unnecessary sound pressure, and the focus is solely on reproducing the scene. Even the fine noise that can be heard even with headphones (for example, the intro of “Iron Man”) is repaired, and the volume fluctuation that occurred during recording is also corrected. I can’t say it’s “altogether something else” (if I did, the precious apex master would be ruined), but the “reality of 1970” conveyed by the transcendental soundboard master has been accurately reproduced. A live performance that has brought back the essence of early SABBATH with its highest quality. This is so wonderful that it is no longer stylish to put into words. A group of masterpieces that condense the elements of the historical masterpieces “BLACK SABBATH” and “PARANOID” are played in abundance, and “Iron Man”, “War Pigs”, “Hand Of Doom”, etc., which are sung with the early lyrics (despite the fact that the album was produced after the album was made), are simply dazzling. The whole story is just too good. I have no intention of denying the official version that seeks perfection as a musical work, but I would like to criticize the business method that made it out of print in a flash. And since it is being reproduced, it is a full-length master of the excavated version, and it approaches the fact of “1970” to the limit.
