Coming from Rhino -

In January, Black Sabbath will make its triumphant return to North America to launch their highly anticipated "The End" final tour. That same month, the greatest metal band of all time will also release deluxe editions of its first three studio albums - Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality.

Each deluxe edition includes the 2012 remaster of the original album, available on CD for the first time, along with a second disc of outtakes that are previously unreleased in North America. All three albums will available January 22 as 2-CD ($19.98) and 2-LP ($31.98) sets.

Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward made their debut as Black Sabbath in 1970 with the band's self-titled album. The new deluxe edition of Black Sabbath includes studio outtakes from the 1969 sessions for the album, including alternate versions of "Black Sabbath" and "N.I.B.," as well two versions of the UK single "Evil Woman (Don't Play Games With Me)."

The same year that Sabbath's debut arrived, the band released its follow-up Paranoid. This metal masterpiece has gone on to be certified 4x platinum. The deluxe edition features phenomenal instrumental takes on "War Pigs," "Iron Man" and more, along with versions of "Paranoid" and "Planet Caravan" with alternate lyrics.

The group's third album, Master of Reality, arrived in 1971 and introduced fans to essential Sabbath tracks like "Sweet Leaf" and "Into The Void." The deluxe edition builds on that legendary album with versions of "Children Of The Grave" and "Sweet Leaf" that have different lyrics. There is also an instrumental version of "After Forever" and an outtake for "Solitude" that features an alternative guitar tuning.

These deluxe editions and massive world tour mark "The End" for Black Sabbath, as the band writes the final chapter in its incredible story. But don't expect the band to go quietly. The 2016 farewell tour promises to surpass all previous tours and will feature the band's most mesmerizing production ever.

The live collection Past Lives, originally released in 2002 but long out-of-print, will also be reissued as 2-CD and 2-LP sets on the same date. It features performances recorded between 1970 and 1975 - when the band was at the height of its dark powers - and includes phenomenal live versions of essential tracks like "War Pigs," "Paranoid," "Snowblind" and "N.I.B."

It's just the LONG-delayed US versions of the phenomenal UK series that covered 1970-87 with Deluxe Editions that began way back in 2009.

Past Lives adds nothing to the original release which wasn't very good anyway.

For anyone who didn't get these, get them, and get them all from every era.

Still waiting on the I.R.S. albums...

The 1st album looks like the same listing as the original deluxe edition
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001TKMAGW/?tag=imwan-21

Except that that one used the UK lineup and made "Wicked World" the first bonus track on disc 2, while this one uses the US lineup and makes "Evil Woman" the first bonus track on disc 2.

It's all the same.

"Wicked World" was on the US release in 1970 hence why they did it that way.

Also, the US release of the Paranoid Deluxe drops the Quad mix 3rd disc.

I heard a bit of #1 yesterday. Not bad, & for a "Modern" hard rock remaster the sound wasn't too bad (DR9). Amazing how quick my expectations are going down re; qound quality............. :sigh:

Don't confuse these with the inferior Rhino remasters from 2004 which were only the box set that year.

Those aren't bad, but these blow them away.

Not only that, but they omitted the quad disc on that one, too.

Indeed.

And they're paranoid.

In Quad.

DR values are meaningless on these. The best I've heard Black Sabbath on CD, assuming that these are the same Andy Pearce remasters. And I've heard the original US issues, the European Castle Communication issues and the Black Box issues in addition to these.

I have "4" in SACD-DSD-SHM from Japan. What a mind blower this edition is. I wish they did all of them this way.

Just saw reports today that these USA issues will not be the Pearce remasters. Apparently these albums were remastered in 2012 for download sales and those are what will be used. I did a quick internet search and couldn't find any additional information regarding the quality of the 2012 masters. Proceed with caution.

That's not a surprise.

My guess is US consumers won't care which is sad.

Most fans have the proper remasters from Sanctuary/Universal anyway.

There were also remasters for vinyl pressings in 2012 so it's possible they used those same masters for downloads and if that's the case these new USA CD issues will probably sound just fine. I looked everywhere I could think of for information about those 2012 downloads and couldn't find anything. Generally download versions equals brickwalled but that's not always the case. From what I can tell the recent "mastered for itunes" Sabbath albums are not brickwalled at all.
