Black Sabbath/Studio Outtakes 1969

Newly unearthed super important studio recordings of the veteran BLACK SABBATH! This is the first of a shocking two-part series. It is a collection of studio outtakes from 1969, when the Sabbath legend began. When talking about early BLACK SABBATH outtakes, the deluxe edition bonus disc comes to mind. Indeed, official bootleg copies have been circulating in the past, but this two-part series is on a completely different level. It is the original master of the official bonus sound source, and is also an unedited super-expanded version. In particular, this work contains a total of 62 takes, about 2 hours and 13 minutes, of studio recordings recorded in 1969 before their debut. The contents are roughly divided into three parts, so let's first review their activity history at that time and check their position in each part. 1968 August 18: Polka Tulk Blues Band formed (6-piece group) September 1: Name changed to Earth (changed to 4-piece group) December 11-13: Iommi temporarily joined Jethro Tull 1969 August 1: New song "Black Sabbath" premiered * August 22: "The Rebel" sessions ←★DISC 1★ August 30: Name changed to BLACK SABBATH October 7: "When I Came Down" sessions * November 10: "Evil Woman" sessions ←★DISC 1★ November 16: "Dumfries 1969" * November 17+18: "Black Sabbath" sessions ←★DISC 2★ 1970 January 9: Single "Evil Woman" released February 13: Album "Black Sabbath" released DISC 1: THE REBEL/EVIL WOMAN Sessions ★The complete version of THE REBEL sessions (19 takes) The above omits live performances and lists only milestone topics. Thus, DISC 1 of this work is engraved with two studio recordings at "Trident Studios". The first is the "THE REBEL" session that took place on "August 22, 1969". At that time, they were still calling themselves EARTH, and this was their first studio session. Jim Simpson, the first manager of BLACK SABBATH (EARTH), set up the studio recording, but the first song they chose was not an original song, but "The Rebel" written by Norman Haynes, who was in LOCOMOTIVE with Jim. Officially, "The Rebel" was only used for a few seconds in the history video. Even in bootlegs, it was only about 1-2 takes, but what was unearthed this time is the complete version of the session, which lasts for a total of 19 takes and about 28 minutes. Their early demos are described in detail in Martin Popoff's masterpiece "BLACK SABBATH FAQ," which says that the demos/outtakes unearthed for the official deluxe editions of "BLACK SABBATH," "PARANOID," and "MASTER OF REALITY" were originally eight CDs. This time, a portion of those eight CDs has leaked out. This work's "The Rebel Sessions" is the first of them. Moreover, this leak is also an illusion. It was released on a certain major video site, but the official side immediately complained. It was easily deleted in about a day. It was later reprinted and released at a certain place, but this work was made into a CD from the best master released for the first time. And the content is one of the biggest shocks in the history of SABBATH archives. The breathing of the first session is historic, but above all, "The Rebel" itself is an unreleased song that is not even on the official Dera Eddie. You can listen to 19 takes of it with completely official quality. Of course, there are many fragments such as redoes, but you can listen to the complete performance in 8 takes (Take 1/3/5/6/8/14/18/19). ★ EVIL WOMAN Session Complete Edition (17 takes + 2) Next up is the recording of "November 10, 1969" at the same "Trident Studios". It is a session for the debut single "Evil Woman". In addition to the 13 takes, 3 parts recordings (Fragment 1/2/3) and "Take 13 with Extra Drums" with drum overdubs are recorded for a total of 17 takes. This was also excavated for the official Delaeddy (volume 2) like "THE REBEL Session", and this is the complete version of the session. Only the final "Take 13" and "Take 13 with Extra Drums" have vocals, and the official take is the same as the former. However, even though the performance is the same, this work is the original master. Officially, the sound was polished by editing and mastering before and after, but this work remains as raw as the other takes. After the two complete sessions, the single "Evil Woman" was also included. Although this is not an official leaked master, it was released through the same route as the two sessions above. It is a mono mix version included in the original Fontana 7-inch single "TF 1067". DISC 2: "Black Sabbath" Album Sessions ★ "Black Sabbath" Sessions (22 takes) DISC 2 instead contains the great "Black Sabbath" sessions held at "Regent Studios". There are also takes that were adopted for the official Dela Eddie, but like the above "The Rebel/Evil Woman Sessions", this work is the original. Not only can you listen to a huge number of different takes, but the same takes are recorded with unprocessed sound. It is legendary that "Black Sabbath" was produced in only two days, but the first half of this DISC 2 was recorded on the first day, "November 17th". A total of eight takes of the three songs "Black Sabbath", "Behind the Wall of Sleep" and "N.I.B." are included. Like DSIC 1, this is the third volume of the eight official Dela Eddie CDs, but "The Wizard (Take 1)" which was on the original was not released (some say that The Wizard (Take 1) was omitted because it was the same take as the official one). The second half includes "Sleeping Village" and "Warning" recorded the following day on November 18th. These two songs were recorded in separate parts, and several takes were left for each section. These are also from the same excavation master (volume 3), but this work also includes "Sleeping Village (Alt. Take)" and "Warning (Alt. Take)". Although these two takes are not for Dela Eddie, they are sound sources released through the same route, and seem to be temporary mixes rather than separate performances. ★Bonus Track: Two Mysterious Takes Well, at the end of this shocking work, two bonus sound sources that bring more mysteries to the table are also included. One is "Warning (Extra Solo Tape Edit)". It is not included in the excavated master for Dela Eddy that I have introduced many times, but it is probably a trial edit to utilize the newly excavated "Warning (Middle Section Remake)". The performance itself is the same as "Warning (Middle Section Remake)", so it is included as a bonus track. And the biggest mystery is "'Track 10' (Unknown fragment)". It is an unidentified take sung by someone who is clearly not Ozzy, but this was also recorded on the "November 17th" session tape (volume 3) of "Black Sabbath". There is also a description in Martin Popoff's "BLACK SABBATH FAQ" introduced at the beginning, so I will extract it with my own translation. "It's a 2 minute 45 second jazzy song with harmonica and psychedelic vocals that aren't Ozzy's. (Omitted) It's an unknown song where the band is clearly playing but Ozzy isn't singing, and the sound quality is top-notch here too (Martin Popoff)." Track 10 on this album is exactly as described. It's possible that it's not actually SABBATH after further verification by researchers, but we can't rule out the possibility of a historic discovery. In this work, we place importance on the truth of the first excavation, and this mysterious take has been permanently preserved. This is a studio treasure collection of 62 takes and about 2 hours and 13 minutes. Just knowing that the sound source is of completely official quality is enough to make your head spin, but it's also shocking that the unreleased song "The Rebel" was unearthed in its entirety in a session. Above all, the fact that the debut work, which was said to be "recorded in one take just like a live album," was surprisingly well-produced is too surprising. It's a really incredible sound source. A studio recording collection filled with the complete unreleased song "The Rebel" session and outtakes from the debut album "BLACK SABBATH". The original master of the leaked official deluxe edition, completely official quality. A super cultural heritage studio album spanning 62 takes and about 2 hours and 13 minutes, far exceeding the official version.
