Black Sabbath/Tokyo,Japan 11.18.1980 Upgrade

The finest stereo sound board that symbolized the legendary first visit to Japan has been brushed up. Introducing one piece that updates the highest peak. [Ryusha Publishing Soundboard, which is completely different from FM broadcasting] Such a symbolic soundboard was recorded on “November 18, 1980: Nakano Sun Plaza Performance”. It is a famous show that has had FM broadcasts since that time, but this work is different even though it is the same show. This is a leaked stereo soundboard recording that was discovered in the 90s. Speaking of their first visit to Japan, they have recorded a number of masterpieces, including the recently released masterpiece “DEFINITIVE OSAKA 1980”. First, let’s organize the collection by date.・November 16th: Nakano Sunplaza (evening session) “FACE OF EVIL” ・November 16th: Nakano Sunplaza (evening session) ・November 17th: Nihon Seinenkan “DEFINITIVE BUER” ・November 18th Sun: Nakano Sunplaza ←★Here★ ×November 19th: Nakano Sunplaza (cancelled) November 20th: Kyoto Kaikan “KYOTO 1980” November 21st: Osaka Welfare Pension Hall “DEFINITIVE OSAKA 1980” Total of 6 performances. Four performances were scheduled at Nakano Sun Plaza, but on the third performance, on November 18th, Tony Iommi suffered from food poisoning after eating an oyster. By the end of “Iron Man,” he was no longer able to continue, and his condition became so severe that the next day’s show was canceled. FM broadcasting by a certain broadcasting association has become a staple of that show, but the leaked sound board that was discovered in later years was something completely different. It’s amazing that it’s the complete version of the day, including “Supertzar” and “War Pigs” that were cut from the broadcast (as mentioned above, the show was interrupted without an encore due to Iommi’s sudden illness). The mix is ​​even more intense. I don’t know who was in charge of mixing the FM broadcast version, but the overall image was melodic and romantic, giving it a RAINBOW-like worldview. However, the extremely thick and violent core of Nagura Publishing is exposed, and Iommi’s guitar and Geezer’s bass go wild. And Ronnie’s vocals are so strong that they can follow both men. Although it is not well known to the general public because he sang smoothly in the later “LIVE EVIL”, Ronnie of BLACK SABBATH is basically more aggressive than the RAINBOW era. It approaches with a powerful taste and has plenty of foreign flavor. The ultra-direct feeling of the sound board connected directly to the table and the wild rawness perfectly depict the true value of the vocalization that was even called the “demon song”. [The highest peak updated version that refined the best master] The introduction was unintentionally long, but this work is an updated version of the highest peak of such an intense sound board. There are several masters of Ryusha Publishing’s soundboard, but among them, “DARK KNIGHT”, which is known as the best, has been repolished with careful mastering. In the first place, “DARK KNIGHT” was super excellent, so you may be wondering, “How do you upload it?”, but the point is the sense of space… That being said, it is a way to make the sound thicker. It’s not a performance. On the contrary, the contours of each note are made sharper, and the range is adjusted to be wider. In particular, the separation of the cymbals and the attack sound of the snare are more vivid. As a result, the cores, which were originally exposed, now intersect vividly, creating a rich stereo effect. You can enjoy the “dynamism of a direct-connected soundboard” even more intensely, which cannot be found in official live albums or audience recordings. Although its super quality alone is powerful and unparalleled, it is delicious that “HEAVEN AND HELL TOUR” is depicted with that sound for which no official live album was left. This is also a good opportunity to organize your soundboard collection. With Bill Ward: May 8: London (1 song only) “DEFINITIVE HARTFORD 1980” August (performance location unknown: 5 songs) “DEFINITIVE HARTFORD 1980” August 10: Hartford “DEFINITIVE HARTFORD 1980” ” After replacing Vinnie Appice ・October 17: New York “BLACK AND BLUE (official video)” ・November 18: Tokyo performance ←★This work★ ・November 27: Sydney “BRINGER OF EVIL” Above 6 The performance is preserved on the soundboard. Bill Ward disappeared during the tour, but the previous three types can be completed with our store’s “DEFINITIVE HARTFORD 1980 (Zodiac 335)”, and after Vinnie’s change, the three works will be individually released. Also, surprisingly, this is the only complete recording sound board after Vinnie was replaced. The longest soundboard is “BRINGER OF EVIL: DEFINITIVE EDITION”, but the intros of “Heaven And Hell” and “Paranoid” were not recorded. On the other hand, although this work does not have an encore, that is because it is not played. You can fully experience the show that actually took place uncut. Although it is a show that remains in the record due to Iommi’s poor performance, the performance that flows out is so amazing that it is unbelievable. In the first place, Iommi is a person who does not show much ups and downs, but despite the show being unable to continue, he is performing ironclad in the part that was played. In fact, I think it’s even better than usual with the addition of the passionate performances of the remaining three who try to make up for Iommi’s slump. One piece that updated the highest peak of such a Japanese performance sound board. Live at Nakano Sunplaza, Tokyo, Japan 18th November 1980 STEREO SBD(UPGRADE) (70:02) 1. Supertzar 2. War Pigs 3.
