Black Sabbath -Paranoid SACD?

Is this a typo at Amazon?http://www.amazon.com/Paranoid-Bonus-Dlx-Black-Sabbath/dp/B001D2AYCI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1217541172&sr=1-1

 

Very cool (if it's real)!

Haven't read any news about it though.....

 

Mentioned in a post by sa-cd.net's owner. Yes, not confirmed yet.

 

I added it to my Amazon Wish List. Let's see if it's still there in a couple of weeks.

 

I'm not getting my hopes up, but if there is in fact an sacd of Paranoid they could easily use the quad mix for surround....

 

Didn't know one existed! The intro to "Ironman" in surround would be pretty cool

 

This album could sound awsome if done right. I'm keepin my fingers crossed.

 

a 3 disc set?

 

Pre-ordered.

Hope that Andy Pearce masters this.

 

Really? Is this for real? This seemed to come out of nowhere.

 

Pre-Ordered also.

 

I'm not even a huge Sabbath fan, but this one has certainly piqued my interest

I hope it's for real.

 

The SACD factor, yes, but if you check the archive there's been talk of Sanctuary doing expanded editions of the first three albums for probably a year or more.

 

It releases on my birthday. Can't be real.

 

I'll believe it when I see it.

Does Sanctuary have a history of doing SACD?

 

I would LOVE some Paranoid era rarities. Didn't someone post here awhile back that they recorded the album twice and the initial sessions were scrapped?

 

The one-stop we go through has it listed as an SACD. Sweet and I'm not talking about leaf They list it as a 2 disc set.

 

A seller on ebay has this to say about it:

-----

Paranoid is expanded to a triple-disc containing the extremely rare 1974 Quadrophonic mix of the album. The album also includes deluxe digipak gatefold packaging with expanded booklets containing rare and previously unseen photographs, comprehensive sleeve-notes telling the story behind each album and include images of rare single covers and memorabilia from the period.

Paranoid is the first release in a set of Black Sabbath deluxe expanded editions. Each remastered album includes an additional disc of previously unheard outtakes, demos and instrumental tracks taken from the original studio sessions.

As I recall, there was once a quadrophonic L.P. of "Paranoid" on Warner Brothers. It was in the CD-4(Quadradisc) format, and I recall that "War Pigs" did not have the speeding up ending. Otherwise, it was quite a good mix.

 

Got mine pre-ordered.

 

This is apparently for real. CD Universe is listing it too.

I should add one remaining note. A few years back, Britain's "Record Collector" magazine mentioned that some Black Sabbath multitracks containing unreleased material had been found. These multitracks were stated to include a few unreleased songs dating to the time of the group's debut album(or slightly before the debut album) plus early attempts at three of the "Master of Reality" songs RECORDED AT THE "PARANOID" SESSIONS. I suppose that Sanctuary is saving those for inclusion with "Master of Reality".

 

Does the technology now exist to Digitally Compress the DSD stream? I hope not!!! This looks excellent and I don't want to see it ruined.

I so wish they'd do a U.S. release for this. I really don't have $40 to spend on three CD's. I would have loved to have gotten that Deep Purple box set as well (Listen, Learn, Read On), but I could never find it under $100.

 

$35 on Amazon.ca. which seems pretty reasonable. I'm worried this is going to be a shrill brickwall-fest, but sometimes I'm a gamblin' man...

 

Yes, just ask Peter Mew and see what he did to The Animals SACD and the Herman's Hermits SACD. DSD compression is real.
