The older deluxe edition digipak is the version you want. This contains a DVD-V with the discrete quad mix on it. Although the source they used leaves much to be desired.
not to mention that the "live" stuff is MP3 sourced , this edition is JUNK
Return to sender .... I told the daeler before that I'm only interested in the CD-4 Paranoid.
Dude, I am presently working in a media related retail warehouse in Boston at the moment. That boxed set has crossed my path a couple of times, and I can't understand who thought it was a good idea to fold down the quad to unencoded stereo and then press that. Basically the only reason I'd want to buy the whole thing. From what I remember the quad was released a few years back on some sort of reissue, but I got mine off the web back in the days of the "'noid".
Yes, that is the CD/DVD version with a "surround" mix on it. I own it, yes, it's just not a good mix.
That’s the one. I don’t own it myself because I just heard the source they used was garbage. All I know is that rip from YouTube sounds pretty darn good to my ears and will have no need to track down that DVD.
I noticed that as well but I’ve been using this application for years and never seemed to have an issue with it, but you never know.
That is debatable.
Yes, I agree. I also have the HDTracks versions, not too bad. I guess I have never A/B'd anything Black Sabbath, that would be a real chore.
That's what I thought, to heavy for my small brain.
Take it in small doses!
The original album sounds great and the book and set is cool, but after that Quad in Stereo earache I just put it all on the shelf. I still enjoy a first pressing I've had for 20 years! Will probably wear that out before I open the box again. You guys got me searching for the DVD/SACD audio now, as I really want to hear it!
