Ozzy Osbourne/Sweden 1983 & more Upgrade

Jake E. Lee, Don Airey, Bob Daisley, and Carmine Appice. Ozzy Osbourne in 1983, where only the masters who have made their name in rock history lined up. A new masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the strongest and most prestigious lineup in history has been born. This work is recorded in “Lund performance on December 4, 1983”. It is a super clear audience recording. Jake’s era is popular in Ozzy’s history, but Carmine’s time in particular is in a class of its own. Although it was only a short period of just over three months, the strongest performance of all time was intense and unparalleled. We have been archiving it with great care. First of all, let’s organize the strongest era of the bubble and its collection by date. 1983 (Europe) {Tommy Aldrich replaced Carmine Appice} *November 10th “SOUND OF ETERNITY: LEICESTER 1983” ・November 11th-16th (5 shows) {November 15th “Howling at the Moon” released} *November 18th “REBEL BARKS: NEWCASTLE 1983” ・November 19th-27th (6 shows) *November 29th “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1983 1ST NIGHT” ・November 30th + December 1st (2 shows) *December 4th: Land show ←★This work★ ・December 5th-15th (8 shows) *December 17th + 18th “ROCK POP 1983” ・December 19th + 20th (2 shows) *December 22nd “BARK AT THE PARIS’ 1984 (North America) January 10th + 12th (2 performances) * January 13th ‘BINGHAMTON 1984’ January 15th: Philadelphia performance * January 16th ‘PHILADELPHIA 1984 2ND NIGHT’ * January 17th ‘BETHLEHEM 1984’ January 18th – February 20th: North America #2 (25 performances) 《Apis → Aldrich replacement》 *Note: “*” marks are performances already introduced in our collection. This is OZZY OSBOURNE BAND during the time of Carmine Apis. The pro shot ‘ROCK POP 1983’ is a standard, albeit short, but all the others are audience recordings. We have introduced eight full live albums, starting with ‘BETHLEHEM 1984’, and the Lund performance in this work was the 17th concert, which was one of the early ones. This vacuum-packed show is a super clear and tight recording in the collection. The density of the core is not so close that it can be mistaken for a soundboard, but the vividness and fineness are amazing enough to kick out any soundboard. Anyway, the air is crystal clear, and the vocals and performance are super detailed to every corner. There is no hall noise at all, and the tightness of the sound is as tight as possible, and the contours that are neatly separated to each sound are out of the ordinary for a customer record. For example, keyboards. Although the Ozzy band is a five-person band, the main focus is on “guitar/bass/drums,” and the keyboard is not very noticeable. However, this work is so clear that you can hear even the modest keyboard phrases of the hon without missing them. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t realize that Don was playing Ozzy’s vocals and sync phrases until I listened to this work. Of course, the keyboard is just an easy example to understand. Ozzy, who is essential, is at the breathing level, and Jake’s rapid fire is clear down to each grain. Of course, you can enjoy Carmine’s virtuosity, which is the life of this work, and the singing combination intertwined with Bob without missing a single note. The strongest full show ever is depicted with the super clear sound of such a sound board barefoot. The set is familiar, so I will omit the analysis, but this work has two maniacally delicious points that are not found in other works. One is the very end of the main live. The encore “Paranoid” will reach a grand finale, and then “Goodbye to Romance” will be played as the closing BGM. There are almost no recordings up to this scene, but this work is recorded for more than three minutes. Moreover, it is very valuable because you can listen to it with super clear sound. The other is the sound check on the day. It is recorded separately on DISC 2, but this is also as clear and tight as the main live. At first, Don’s keyboard plays the intro of “Mr. Crowley”, but then the rhythm section and guitar join in. Ozzy is not there, but “Center Of Eternity” and instrumental jams are played with the same heat as the real thing. Anyway, the clear and tight sound that clearly shows the subtleties of the performance is wonderful. In the Carmine era, it is important to be able to enjoy the strongest performance in every corner, so this sound is especially pleasing. In addition to the valuable full show, it is also delicious to be able to experience the extremely rare sound check on site. Super clear audience recording of the “Lund performance on December 4, 1983”, which was the Carmine Appice era. It is not a close contact feeling, but the vividness and fineness are wonderful enough to kick out any sound board. There is no hall sound at all, and the tightness and separation of the sound as if it was squeezed to the limit are excellent. This is the perfect sound to enjoy the Ozzy numbers reborn with Carmine’s virtuosity. This is the definitive edition that also comes with a precious sound check from the day.
