Black Sabbath/NJ,USA 1975 Complete Soundboard 50th Anniversary Edition

The much-praised "BLACK SABBATH masterpiece" has been brushed up! The ultimate quality version, polished by GRAF ZEPPELIN, surpasses the official master, and is now permanently preserved! A full soundboard that has reached the pinnacle of BLACK SABBATH's entire history. The true identity of this masterpiece is the superb stereo soundboard recording of the "August 5, 1975 Asbury Park Performance." This is the highest peak update. This soundboard is truly the pinnacle. The sound quality, recording time, and performance quality...all of them are unparalleled and flawless. This is a solitary, pinnacle live album unmatched by any other live album in the history of Sabbath. Originally recorded for the famous radio show "King Biscuit Flower Hour," it has since undergone numerous upgrades over its long history. A full-length version was unearthed in 2002, and subsequent pre-broadcast masters have been unearthed...and it has continued to evolve. 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the live performance. This work is a "50-year answer" that re-examined countless masters, reselected the best master, and finished it with the meticulous mastering of "GRAF ZEPPELIN." The king's master, re-examined after 50 years, is the most important thing: the foundational "highest peak master." First of all, the answer is our familiar "LIVE LONGEST... DIE AT LAST" master. This time, we also re-examined the masters that appeared after that, and also examined the Super Deluxe Edition of "SABOTAGE," but the "LIVE LONGEST... DIE AT LAST" version was the best. The presence or absence of drop-down, the precision of the stereo feeling, the amount of noise, the sense of stability... 13 years have passed since the appearance of the original "LIVE LONGEST... DIE AT LAST," and even today, when it has been officially realized, nothing has surpassed the "LIVE LONGEST... DIE AT LAST" master. Of course, the show content is also at its peak. The album includes exclusive tracks like "Hole In The Sky" and "Megalomania," a 45-minute "Sabbra Cadabra" medley featuring various classics and jams, and "Snowblind" and "Spiral Architect" that showcase Gerald Woodruff's keyboards. Each track is incredibly special, and the scale of the album, which exceeds 100 minutes, and the tension that permeates the entire album are transcendent. It's incomparable to the lack of rehearsal and the shambolic "DEFINITIVE CALIFORNIA JAM 1974," and even to the period after 1976, when the band began to waver. The "SABOTAGE Tour," arguably the most fulfilling tour of the golden '70s, is unleashed. GRAF ZEPPELIN Mastering Embodying the Importance of the 50th Anniversary To maximize the potential of this master, which represents the pinnacle of 50 years, this album has been meticulously mastered by GRAF ZEPPELIN. In fact, "GRAF ZEPPELIN" is a "live sound supremacy" that doesn't involve flashy embellishments, and this master is the ultimate in quality from the start. While there's nothing dramatic about it, the precision is still unprecedented. Pitch and phase are accurate to within 1/1000 of a second, and noise processing is thorough. Even the faintest hiss, barely perceptible in silent sections, has been thoroughly wiped away, and even the tiniest blips imperceptible to the ear have been removed one by one. While I casually said "imperceptible to the ear," I'm not bluffing, of course. You'll be able to visually discern the differences if you run the recording through waveform software (if you do, be careful when ripping to avoid reading errors that can lead to additional noise). In other words, that's the level of mastering precision this time around. While noise and distortion are audibly noticeable, they've also been thoroughly refined, even at levels imperceptible to the ear. The final version is one we can proudly call "the answer to 50 years of listening." An unparalleled full show is reimagined with unprecedented sound... this thrill is only possible with a pinnacle record. Aiming for the eternal "50th August," Ozzy Osbourne has used every technique, from materials to finishes, to raise the bar for the pinnacle of soundboards. This is truly the ultimate album, the culmination of 50 years. I never dreamed that this would become a memorial to Ozzy Osbourne. While I didn't think so, there is certainly no other album more worthy of celebrating the life of this charismatic figure than this one. This two-disc set permanently preserves the unforgettable "Summer of 2025." This is a superb stereo soundboard recording of the "August 5, 1975 Asbury Park Concert." This soundboard, which transcends official and unofficial records, is the greatest masterpiece in the entire history of Sabbath, and its highest-level master has been refined by "GRAF ZEPPELIN," creating a top-notch update. "SABOTAGE" is the ultimate absolute live album that surpasses even the official Super Delaedi version and is the "answer of 50 years." The low frequencies have been boosted and the hiss that was noticeable on the previous version has been corrected. Although it was not noticeable in the sound, the occasional small noises have been removed. Asbury Park Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ, USA 5th August 1975 STEREO SBD UPGRADE Disc 1(41:13) 1.
