Of course we want a gatefold, we always want a gatefold when possible!

I'm not in that camp, at least not any more. For single LPs I prefer a single sleeve. With a collection as large as mine space is precious. Don't get me wrong, I love gatefolds, but in this case would prefer the single sleeve.

Cool video! I definitely defer to your opinion on these. I preferred the Vertigo to the Rhino on Patrick’s stream. But hearing your samples, they both kick ass! I love my original WB. It sounds fantastic in my room. As long as I’m not comparing I should be fine. Ha. Cheers Steve!!

I think that's the trick with the audiophile pressings...just don't compare them and you will always be happy. I just get amused by the call for metal audiophile pressings. I do like audiophile pressings, but in the few cases where the audiophile pressing sounds better than the original, it's not by so much that the much higher price is warranted.

Fantastic video comparison. I own the 2010 pressing and 1973 WWE pressing, which used the original UK pressing plates, and both sound good to me.

A little bit more bite on that Kevin Gray, audible even though we're hearing them through your speakers and not direct. I have the 2010 version and love it, now that the Rhino Hi-Fi is sold out I'm happy that I have a copy that rocks out. Thanks for the informative video!
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
The Kevin Gray does have a little more bite, but not enough to pay the $150 it's now going for. The recording the clips through my speakers as opposed to through direct is a funny one. When I recorded clips direct in past videos people complained that the sound was being processed, then when I record with my speaker mic'ed people complain that my system is coloring the sound. I like to record from my speakers for that reason. There have been quite a few shootouts where the album I thought sounded better direct sounded worse through my speakers. I think playing them through the speakers give a better feel for what it will actually sound like...but what do I know, hahaha. Thanks Bill.

I hear a clear difference...the Rhino has bigger a soundstage and greater dynamics... also, the noise floor is lower. The 2010 is good though and i have it as well.

I’m my house the OG greenies a bit more bass and balls over the new Rhino HiFi. But the HiFi is excellent. The weak link after these two is the 2010 Rhino you have here. Wasn’t anywhere as good in my house.
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
I just never had a luck with the greenies...I've never found a clean copy. There is also something about the mids on the greenies that always bothered me. In all honesty though, it's one of the greatest metal albums out there and any copy is a pretty good copy.

I'm looking forward to hearing my copy of the Kevin Gray cut. It's hopefully waiting for me at my Kentucky home. I have a copy that I bought several years ago that reproduced the Vertigo swirl. I think it's the Sanctuary pressing you are talking about. Hopefully, this new reissue is better. Take care.
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Hey Melinda, I hope the move it going good...I know how tough it can be, especially going back and forth. You will love the Rhino Sabbath, especially compared to the Sanctuary pressings...I haven't heard one Sanctuary that I've liked.

Killer episode Steve love the samples the Kevin Gray’s version definitely brought the symbols upfront compared to the 2010 but they are close the 2010 Ron McMaster surprised me it’s definitely one that sounded excellent it had more of a heavy feel . I ordered the Rhino being my first copy never was able to find a clean affordable UK Vertigo.
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Thanks Lovell. Every record collectors dream...finding a clean Vertigo Sabbath, hahaha. What really sucks about the Vertigo swirls is that you can get a dead mint looking copy that sounds terrible. I've had that happen a few times, and have heard of people buying 3 or 4 copies before they found a silent copy. Don't need to worry about that with Mr. Gray.

The 2016 US reissue cut by Sean Magee also came in a gatefold with the inverted cross inside. But…it also featured the song titles on the back. However, they were not in the format of the original US, so it seems they are comfortable with taking some liberties on this sleeve.
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Yeah, I did a video a while back comparing the Sean Magee cut to the 2010 and the 2010 blew it out of the water. I don't think the Sanctuary masters sound good at all. I was excited when I heard the were getting the Abbey Road treatment, but sold them almost immediately.

Hey there.. great video.. I've had that 2010 a few times but always seem to give it away. I have many copies of this album but prefer the UK Vertigo but like you said, if you aren't comparing them.. they sound great on it's own.. splitting hairs.. A deep listen and comparison though makes me appreciate the UK Vertigo more.. the highs and the bass on the Rhino don't sound as good to me but again, splitting hairs here.

I really like my 2010 still. My US Greeny is pretty darn good too. They are all great. The rhino hifi is just so damn silky smooth. Kevin is really passing exactly what is on the tape. It’s almost too clean. If I want to hear details rhino hifi is the way to go. If grit and rowdy you want get the Greeny OG. The 2010 is closer to the Greeny if you ask me. I didn’t see Patrick’s feed. Do you have a link to the files?
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
No, no link...Patrick played them on his live stream. Too smooth is a great way of putting it. It sounds great, but looses a bit or the grit and the byte that the original had. I feel the same way about Kevin Gray's cut of The Stooges Raw Power. The KG cut sounds great and is super clean, but it lost some of the aggression and power that the original Bowie cut had.

I own my father's US first press in VG+ and I honestly prefer that to both versions your comparing here. I feel the bass is a bit more pronounced on the original.

Ahhhhh thanks for the heads up on the Sanctuary on back cover, always enjoy your reviews, of course I’m listening thru iPad speakers, the red label Kevin Gray? Anyway no matter I felt it had more depth to the percussions and the vocals felt more realistic but hey my thoughts only....cheers Steve👋🏻✊🏻🎶
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Hey Lis, I hope you are good. Yes, the red label is the Rhino HiFi. It was definitely noticeable on the video. The new pressing sounds great, but not for the $150 they are already going for. With it selling out so fast, I wonder if Paranoid is next? I would be cool to get all of the Ozzy era albums done.
@charlesgund4812
@charlesgund4812 4 месяца назад
I’m not convinced that the 2010 is all analog you know. I believe it to be that Capitol have a digital preview head on their cutting lathe and I’m not sure they had AAA capability then and that may still be the case. The hype seems to point to analog but how many times have hype stickers been misleading and they probably use the same kind of sticker for these rhinos. I understand the Bellman cuts were analog, just that the cuts done by Ron McMaster may have had a digital step. It would be good to hear from the man himself to directly confirm though.
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Yeah, I remember a bit of discussion about it at the time. Most of the advertisements that I remember noted that it was try analogue, or fully analogue...I can't remember how they worded it...but who knows. MoFi threw all of the trust in the air.
@limaniner34
@limaniner34 Месяц назад
Ron already adressed that they didnt use digital preview heads in Capitol, thats something Steve Hoffman mentioned one time and everyone took as gospel. I gotta find the post on the Steve Hoffman forums that mentioned that Ron's cuts were pure analog (I think someone emailed him about it and he was fed up with the misinfo, which seems to still be lingering these days).
@limaniner34
@limaniner34 Месяц назад
The 2010 Ron McMaster cut is bright and detailed but still retains certain old school mid range, which was what Black Sabbath was all about. Kevin Gray's 2024 cut is even brighter and removes any trace of veilness from the album, but it kinda loses its Sabbath-y feel IMO. And I say that as a big fan of Kevin.

I don't know of a 2012 pressing, but I am curious about the 50th anniversary pressing from 2020. Unfortunately, no source is listed, which in my experience usually means it was a digital source.

Mine arrived this morning, but only about 30 min before I headed for downstate, I will compare my copy against a 1980 US pressing, those are only ones I have, your two samples sound close, but the Rhino HiFi sounds "crisper" on my MacBook I have a Ron McMaster 2010 press of Master Of Reality, but no OG to compare against, my only missing Sabbath OG. I will be hitting record stores on this trip, picked up a few today already
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
The difference is actually easier to hear on the computer, though on the record player the clearness of the vocals was definitely noticeable, but flipping back and forth on the computer really makes it stand out. I had all of the Ron McMaster pressings at one time, but sold the ones I replaced with the deluxe boxed sets....I should have done videos comparing them to see how different the boxed sets were. I have to look to see what masters were used.

No, no video, unfortunately. He played it as part of his Sunday night live stream. It still may be there on the PBTHAL channel, but you have to go through about 2 hours of content because I don't remember when in the live stream he played it.

I would really prefer a reissue with the correct (i.e., UK) track list. I won't lie, Wicked World works better on the album than the Evil Woman cover, but I am against revisionism. Wicked World was a B side that someone across the pond at Warner Bros.-who had probably yet to even meet the band-chose to put on the record. Hey, we have the same cartridge! And we both use Technics decks. I see you are using an Audio-Technica headshell and not the Technics headshell. Do you recommend I do the same?
@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
Yessir, love that cart and the SL1200GR...I've only ever run Technis turntables. I've look at others over the years, but always end up back at the 1200s. As far as the head shell, I use both. My VM540ml is on a Technics shells...I haven't noticed a difference.

@harmlessrebel868
@harmlessrebel868 4 месяца назад
I definitely get the sentiment. When it comes to metal I generally prefer the original pressings to the modern reissues, but I also like the audiophile pressings. I will say, in most cases with metal, the audiophile pressings don't sound better, or at least not enough to pay big money for them. Since the Rhino Hi Fidelity's are going for so much I will just sell mine and put that money back into records.
