The Ozzy Years / Re: Earth - The Legendary Lost Tapes (released by Jim Simpson) available digitally
« on: December 25, 2025, 10:05:59 PM »
Sound quality aside (but that's a question of the period in which they were recorded), the only tracks that have issues are:

Blue Suede Shoes, needing its speed adjusted. It plays too slowly compared to the other versions of that recording that are/were available.
Free Man and a few other tracks, sounds like the azimuth was misaligned while transferring the tape. So when you listen to it with headphones there's an effect that almost sounds like noise reduction because the frequencies got a little messed up.

The former is fixable with software. Fixing the latter would require a fresh transfer from the source tape.

Even though I'm looking at this release as what's essentially archival material priceless in the context of its recording and final release, I understand Tony perhaps not wanting it out.

Digital versions seem to have been pulled too.

For what it's worth, the physical releases kept getting pushed back and now look to have been cancelled.

That's awesome Z! He was great on Would I Lie To You? too, and his own work of course.

Agreed. And consider the history involved for Jim Simpson himself. He paid for the sessions and possibly wants to see them available and preserved while he has the chance to do so.

Thanks everyone!

Charger, I think I'll have to wear these more often.

The Dio Years / Something cool (personal anecdote/memories)
« on: September 15, 2025, 04:03:21 AM »
So,

I saw Heaven and Hell in 2007. Supported by Down. I was more excited for Sabbath, but being a high school kid I didn't have a huge amount of money. I bought a Down shirt and then kicked myself later for not buying any H&H merch instead.
The Down shirt now sits in my wardrobe. Signed by Phil, Pepper, and Kirk (but it went through the wash when I still lived at my well meaning parents' place).

I don't remember what H&H merch there was other than the three album cover shirts that either omitted the Sabbath name/logo (Heaven and Hell) or replaced it with a H&H one (Mob Rules and Live Evil), but those were the three I was taken with.

A few years after, the Dio store was selling tour leftovers. Passed on them in case they weren't from the Australian dates and/or a lack of disposable income (can't recall).

I'd occasionally see one on eBay that looked like leftover tour stock but it wasn't one of the shirts I was keen on. I periodically kept looking.

Fast forward to 2021. Lockdown during covid. I check eBay. There's a seller selling the Mob Rules and Live Evil ones. No bids at a cheap price. Score! A few months later the same seller sells the Heaven and Hell one but a bidding war erupts.

I'm happy enough with two of three, right? I leave it alone but keep checking periodically.

Fast forward again to a couple of weeks ago. The H&H one is on eBay. Buy it now. I snag it in case it goes and I never see one again.

It arrived last week. All three look like new and I've barely worn them as it is, but for three 18 year old shirts that's amazing.

I'll have to get some pics up.

Funny thing is, since I grabbed the H&H cover one, there have been two more of that and one of the Mob Rules one on eBay Australia. Not in my size though.

Agreed Zzz and Vyn!

And even if/when legal communications arise, the material will stay out there. So it at least won't be lost.

Makes me think that Jim may not have any rights to The Rebel or When I Came Down as those are Sabbath recordings, not Earth.

Good point Zzz! But it's made it out digitally so that is something.

The current lineup of Pentagram re-recorded I Spoke To Death, given Tony and Scooter play with Pentagram now.

You're welcome Charger!

With the exception of 'Blue Suede Shoes' (though this one has a spoken intro and outro not on the Beat Club recordings) and Wicked World (though it's an unedited version) these are 'new' recordings.

Really cool to hear. Hopefully without any legal hurdles later on.

Physical to follow. CD next week and vinyl apparently pushed back to November.

https://www.qobuz.com/au-en/album/the-legendary-lost-tapes-earth/gk050lp0kh3sa

1. Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins cover)
2. Evenin' (Jimmy Rushing cover)
3. Wee Wee Baby [Early One Monday Morning (Wee Baby Blues)] (Joe Turner cover)
4. Untitled
5. Free Man
6. Song for Jim (guitar version)
7. Song for Jim (flute version)
8. Wicked [Wicked World] (Demo)
9. Warning (The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation cover)

Some interesting notes:
'Free Man' has elements of 'Over and Over' and 'I'.
'Wicked (Demo)' is essentially a mono version of the single/album take of 'Wicked World' with the third verse that was performed live.

Enough spoilers from me.

Jim Simpson owns the copyright for these recordings so the release is official even if not band approved.

Enjoy.

Here's NIB




It seems that they ran Ozzy's vocals through autotune or something for the stream (which was running on quite a delay) but honestly I don't see much reason for it. Ozzy's sounding all things considered quite good here. I don't think anyone expected him to sound perfect with all that he's been through and is going through so to doctor his voice like that is just stupid. But ofcourse when $haron's involved you can guarantee some form or stupidity going on.
If they autotune him now, less work for the inevitable streaming/physical release.

He sounded good on the audience videos.

Sabbath did NIB, not the eponymous song.

A lot of the stream was very cool.
