I'm with ya! I love all Original Sabbath! I get tired of people capping on TE & NSD! They're both Excellent freakin albums! Gonna get off subject here, but another thing I get tired of is that VH, blew away Sabbath on the NSD tour. All I can say is, not the night I saw. Was VH a great opener? Hell Yes they were! But the night belonged to Sabbath! It wasn't just a concert, it was an Experience, and just this Feeling that didn't leave me for a couple of weeks! 🤘
@@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok Your a lucky guy. AND I saw VIDEOS of SABBATH during that tour. They were Great. Of course van Halen were making a name for themselves. Young AND hungry...
Finally! The first Sab box set worth getting. Steven Wilson remixes & the alternate versions. I’m buying the cd set. Cheaper that way. And btw. Big fan of this album. Tired of the negative reviews it gets. This is Sabbath growing as musicians. It’s different but still awesome as the stuff that came before it.
To be honest, this is really the only super deluxe box for Sabbath you need. The Sabotage super deluxe goodies were mostly live, the Paranoid one did not even have the cool alternative tracks from the 2016 2-CD reissue and Vol. 4 outtakes were mostly instrumentals and not complete alternate versions. With TE, you get the remaster and the remix (in my view superior) as well as third version of the album, which are stripped down outtakes. To be honest, if I re-assembled the album in order most of the versions I would include would either be from the Wilson remix or the outtakes, especially All Moving Parts. Let's hope Never Say Die gets a super deluxe release with remixes and alternate takes!
Not big TE fan, but I agree the remix has made me like this album more. Also really hope NSD gets a remix, love that one but it's always needed to have a beefier sound.
I don’t think they will, material they had on bs and master with deluxe edition. They are releasing ozzy ones in sequence so why would they go back. Not enough material from sbs for deluxe. That’s what I think.
Yes, I bought this album yet again. It is my 8th time for buying this album since 1977, and I will never buy it again. These box sets are starting to feel like nothing but cash grabs at this point, and this is the worst one yet. The remaster especially is pretty weak.
Seems to me that the box set's give you a history of Black Sabbath's journey through the years nothing wrong with that. I had posted this on (The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne | Full Documentary | Biography} this is part of my history as a fan of Black Sabbath. My Ozzy story, the first time I saw Black Sabbath in March 1st 1972 at ( Cumberland County Memorial Arena, Fayetteville, NC, United States Mar 1, 1972 Black Sabbath/Wild Turkey/Bang. My self and a couple of friends were at the front of the stage, when Sabbath were playing one of my friends was holding up a joint and Ozzy came over and took a number of hits and would skip away then he would keep coming back. Years later I used tell my son this story and he say dad tell my friend about Ozzy how he came over and would take some hits of the joint.
I have Vol.4 and Sabotage, and now Technical Ecstasy and I’m happy with how these box set are put together… hoping Sabbath Bloody Sabbath next. And I agree that Never Say Die could use a Steve Wilson remix!
I’ve been listening to the podcast. Fantastic stuff guys. The detail and the way everything is presented is top-notch👍. It’s so great to hear people talk about what I think is a misunderstood band/genre of music so intelligently and articulately. Darin your storytelling about the incident with Brad and Ozzy is excellent, can picture everything and you keep me engaged all the way. Keep up the good work guys. The greatest band of all times deserves a podcast like this😀
Thanks Tom! I love that story...I can only imagine what Ozzy was going through at the time. The loss, the pressure...really shows the human side of what is pretty much otherwise a "ruthless machine" at times. Glad you're enjoying the Podcast!! Thanks so much for listening!
Been listening to the podcast, great stuff guys. Learning things I never knew about my favorite band. Can't wait till you get to Born Again and the Tony Martin years. Keep it up.
I’ve been waiting for this! The review I mean:). I’m surprised it didn’t go on longer knowing your love for the album but probably long enough. It’s a great set. I’m pretty sure NSD is next. I created some controversy on the Steve Hoffman Forum by stating that I had read Toni Iommi saying there wasn’t enough material for the MOR Box set but I can’t find the article anywhere now. I’m hoping they will do the other ones but it just seems strange the order in which they’re doing them.
Check out the link to our podcast in the description, we go into much more in-depth on the album. I think they are going to do MOR or the first album to cash in on Christmas. The order is a bit strange.
@@tommandeno4571 No...I'm just guessing, I would imagine they would want to cash in on the holidays with a popular album. I have a feeling NSD will be the last one they release...even though I really like that album it's still the least popular of that era.
@@LairoftheAlchemist Right! That makes sense. I’m actually most excited for NSD but would like to see the others receive the treatment as well. I’ve just had this feeling that they might not have the masters for the other albums. I don’t know but it seems crazy that they wouldn’t but who knows…fingers 🤞
I have the CD box and it has the live album on just 1 CD. Not bothered about the remaster, the big draw for me , and I'm not disappointed, is the Steven Wilson remix which adds some oomph that most if not all previous remasters on CD have apparently never been able to do ( I have the 1996 castle that is ok but is slightly 'tinny' or over trebly sounding) and the live CD - the outakes are also good alternatives that I will play again from time to time as they are sufficiently different to the album versions as to almost make them a quasi live album - maybe a live in the studio type of album. My overall opinion is that this set makes a fantastic album (and my favourite of the Ozzy era) even better. I really hope they get or have got Steven Wilson to remix Never Say Die - and hold out hope though I doubt they'd do it, that they'll include the Never Say Die live DVD remixed and expanded - but as you say they always get close but just not quite there - any bets they'll use the audio from that as the live part of the NSD box though (presuming there will be an NSD box of course)? A problem with the CD set, is that all the content is reduced in size which means I need a magnifying glass to be able to read the tour programme - but that's just a minor gripe. Regarding the mp3 sourced live show I have no problem with it and it sounds better through my equipment than the Wav sourced bootleg of the show I've got - general consensus is that its Pittsburgh December 8th 1976 and comparisons I've made with my bootleg version would seem to bear that out - my bootleg version, though, has the tracks in what I presume is the proper running order - Symptom/Snowblind/All Moving Parts/ War Pigs/ Gypsy/ Black Sabbath/ Dirty Women/ Drum & Guitar solos / Electric Funeral/ Children of the Grave. The drum and guitar solo on the boot has Rock and Roll Doctor as part of it and is around 14 minutes long - so ten minutes more than on here, and they also do Iron Man between Electric Funeral and Children of the Grave. Not too bothered about not having an Iron Man but would have been nice to have had Rock and Roll Doctor being as that is on the album proper. Another quick note is that in the UK it was orifginally on Amazon for £99 so I went to get it form the US Amazon at £51 (around 63 US $)- on the day mine arrived Amazon UK had dropped their price to a 'promotional' £52.
Excellent Terry! Really appreciate your review! Yeah, I was thinking of all the boots I have from this era that it was most likely the Pittsburg, nice to have that confirmed.
I always wondered if Black Sabbath touring with Kiss got influenced with hearing Calling Dr Love . Rock n Roll Doctor sound is similar to Rock n Roll Over in sound. Even the the Cow Bell ✌😎😍
I lean more towards remixes. Steven is bringing out what they failed to in the past 🤷♂️🤷♂️ in my opinon. Steven Wilson Aqualung completely puts my original copy on the never playing again shelf.
I think "You Won't Change Me" is one of the best songs Sabbath ever done. When I first listened to it and heard how emotional Ozzy sounded, I was a bit shocked how such a song by such a popular singer could fly under the radar like it has. I definitely classify TE and NSD together, and know how it's a band on the verge of breaking up, but there are still some gems on those albums. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater because you're not fond of half of them. If you put the best songs on TE and NSD on one album, that would be a really great record. That would be cool if you and Daren in the future could make an album out of those two. Trim the fat off the less than stellar tracks and put the good ones together. I think that'd be interesting and I'm surprised I never did it myself considering how I loved to make my own albums back in the day.
enjoyed the review guys - but not something ill be buying - i dont like remastering/remixing of old records - its takes from the original character of the records - the flaws are fine by me - its part of the sound - some crackly old nems vinyl is the way it should be heard lol - i love technical ecstacy by the way - seriously underrated - some seriously good playing on it - yeah the production lacks some oomph - but they were all going for that late 70s weakish new wave sound
The NEMS versions are pretty bad (other than the '75 Sabotage)...especially the 80's pressings. At least go with a OG US WB pressing as far as hearing the album in a more competent pressing format. That said, I agree with the OG master/mix being superior. I don't prefer the new "version" over the old it's just cool hearing it and if you love this album to the extent that you can't get enough of it it's really cool to hear the remix.
@@darinmccloskey9906 i grew up on the nems stuff lol - so have nothing to judge them on - never heard the warners stuff - wouldn t mind picking some up tho - id love to get some old vertigo stuff too - but pretty expensive these days - oh yeah its probably cool hear the remix - it just doesnt interest me - hey once people njoy them - thats all that matters - theirs alot of repetition on the boxsets - same old gigs wheeled out again and again - given a quick clean up !!! - which bothers me!!!
Got all of them so for but nearly didn't get the Sabotage one. The two song CD and calling it a 4cd set was taking the piss to me. That's why I was pleasantly surprised with this release. There still vastly overpriced, especially here in the UK, but I'm a Sabbath nut and a collector so I have to have them.
Well, guys, with this video, you have convinced me to buy the TE box set, and of the Ozzy-era albums, TE is *definitely* my least favorite, so you have done what I was not sure was possible! :-) I don't *hate* TE, but I do like NSD a good bit more, as an overall album, and I am greatly looking forward to an NSD box set. This video has made me really curious to hear the Steven Wilson TE remix though!
Music 🎼 🎶 🎵 question 🙋 what is a album what I look 👀 up wikipedia and it said a album 💿 is a collection of audio recordings issued or released as a single idem or dictionary said a album is a collection of audio recordings released as a collective work and that’s for cd 💿 not for vinyl or cassette tape but can you please tell me your example of what is a album 💿 is you sure did told me what is a ep and single but not a album 💿 but in cd 💿 hope that you’re doing well and stay heavy stay metal and keep on the faith?
Agreed. I have a Marantz 2325 receiver and a Thorens TD160 turntable which is definitely NOT modern by any stretch and the remaster sounds bad through that setup. OG WB or Vertigo sounds best...so definitely not an "improvement" but I guess it depends on the individual.
Hi, unfortunately my least favourite black sabbath ozzy album. Hope there is a never say die box set, not great either but I like it better than TE. And if they would release a full live show from last original ozzy era.
