I’ve got my copy haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, but all versions of Black Sabbath are my favorites, I’ve always thought that Tony Martin was one of Black Sabbath’s best singers along with Ozzy & Dio of coarse. I know it’s gonna be awesome!!
I’m with you I like all of the different eras of the band.
Tony Martin Era is awesome
It's not, actually
The CDs should have been put in jewel cases and included the original sleeve artwork and lyrics.
I agree, the box set in AUD cost me about $115, for that money would have been nice to have jewel case with lyrics book.
I came here to find out specifically, if they had jewel case artwork included.
First thought it seemed pretty good deal, but 99 € for 4 CD's in slipcases... I'll pass thank you.
Hopefully they release these remasters/remixes as a proper CD release later on.
@@inmyhouse11 I bet that comes out later. Just so u will be tempted to buy it again with the jewel .All sales tricks. Music industry is very corrupt that way.
Sometimes I feel guilty about the small collection of DCs I have, but I watch these videos and it goes away.
It's a great box set but it could have been even much better. 😎👍 Tony Martin era is my favorite so I'm really glad for this release but it should have included "The Eternal Idol", "Cross Purposes Live" and dvd/blu-ray with music videos, live concerts etc. also some demos, live songs and other extra stuff. 🤘 😎🤘 Still thrilled about this box set and enjoying it. 🔥🔥🔥
I have been appreciating the Forbidden album more now with this new remix, it sounds so much better now and the songs are actually pretty good, Tony Martin's era was amazing
I really love the way you bring your show to us , I could watch you all day, love the reviews,, all of it, great Sabbath show, I'm gonna buy it.
Thanks Michael, I’m glad to hear you enjoy the way things are done on this channel. I appreciate your support.
I actually don't have any of the Tony Martin albums. Will definitely get this. Nice review. Have a good weekend 💿🎶
This box set looks so fucking cool, I ordered my copy somewhere in March but still haven't got it. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long. It would be cool if Cross Purposes Live will be released or the outtakes and unreleased stuff as well. Tony Martin is such an underrated singer, he needs way more credits.
Excellent recap on the bands history...
Loved Sabbath for many years, but I guess like many folk, these albums passed me by. BUT, wow, some amazing tracks with crushing Iommi riffs!!! Very happy with my new box set 🤘. And Tony Martin has some set of pipes!
Thanks for the review 🎉as a result I just purchased this box set 😊 and also purchased the Alcatraz box set that you bought to my attention 🎉….sincerely appreciate it ❤
Tony Martin is my favourite Sabbath singer, his recent solo album is exceptional.
Yes my fave too but Ibdont luke Thorns. Its too metal. I love that He had a strong 80s sound in BS . Really suits his voice
As a streamer this is the 1st time I'm listening to the albums. Cross Purposes is the best (so far). Kinda perfect actually. Tony sounds a bit like RJD. Actually a lot.I was going to give Forbidden a miss but after watching this video it's back in the queue. Rock on.
Excellent review and history lesson. Thank you for you detailed review .Black Sabbath is my all time favorite band of all time for over 40 years now but i never really got into Tony Martin. I think it is time to give it another chance thanks again.
Thanks for this informative unboxing. Really happy that they remixed Forbidden and can’t wait to hear it! Happy the Martin years are getting some love.
Great review. I love the Tony Martin era of Sabbath and am so glad to see these amazing albums getting some love all these years later. Too bad the fans didn’t appreciate them when they were first released.
I just ordered mine yesterday.Great review.
Love Martin era ,.box set is very cool and i joy a lot
Got mine today. Love it! The Forbidden remix is incredible. Cozy would be proud.
Tony Martin era is my fave. Really the only era i listen to.
I love all the eras of the band. I’m a Tony Iommi fan so anything he does I’m interested in.
@@gellargod same. I can't listen to the other 2 since I discovered TM. Thu seem like a joke in comparison
I've finally ordered the CD set this evening. So excited!! ✌🤘😍
Great video- I brought headless cross and TYR on vinyl off a market stall quite cheap - when I got them home they were a bit warped so I put them in my vinyl shelves to flatten - fast forward 9(!)years and I dug them out following Phil Aston’s review - they are now perfectly flat and I was surprised how good they are as albums - I’d urge all sabbath fans who might have ignored these albums to give them a go - and your music room looking very good now ❤
Back in the day, I was amazed at the Tony Martin era Sabbath. I know my peers did not like it because of Ozzy and Dio. I was more opened minded. Martin was a great singer and the band was moving forward. "Forbidden" is under rated. I still listen to all five Martin era discs. Black Sabbath is one of those rare bands that has never put out a really terrible album.
Brilliant review
Thanks for the history Brendon, I really enjoyed that.
Phil Aston did a great interview of Tony Martin on his "Now Spinning" channel that might answer some of your questions. Cool interview to check out.
Cheers.
Tony Martin said the same thing I said…a different record label owned the rights and that it had been previously reissued already so they opted to skip it.
@BrendonSnyder he also talks about the Live album and how there might be another box following.
…just as I said in the video.
Phil does great reviews!
So do you Brendon, enjoy your channel!
Mine is coming from Amazon today. I can’t wait!!!
Enjoy
Pretty good video, never watched you before but your clear, concise and interesting....
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I hope you find others you like as well.
Looking forward to receiving my copy.
I’m new to your channel but I LOVE it! I’ve been binging your videos at Sound Exchange they’re my favourites. Adam
Adam with this channel You are in for a treat of rock roll historical history and fun 🤩 welcome aboard the time of your life
I think we all know that Sharon Osborne owns 50% of Black Sabbath because we know that Ozzy can’t take a crap without Sharon‘s permission
Yes, I know I’m gonna get shit for ragging on Sharon, but don’t we all love to do that anyway?
She’s horrible!
Ozzy is much more in control than you know . If you pay attention to their podcast you can tell. They've made mistakes but I still like them.
Also you all are saying Ozzy has absolutely no balls about him.....he does.
The argument I heard why the Osbournes have 50% control is dumb. Ok. Yes, it’s true Black Sabbath band didn’t do as well in the later 80s and into the 90s. The argument for Ozzy was that the band did big numbers when he was in the band. True. But, originally in the mid to late 70s Sabbath were in the decline. Then RJD comes in and the band does big numbers again. So, by Ozzys own argument Dio should own a piece of the name too. Of course this is silly because BOTH singers left the band. I don’t know why the circumstances were during the settlement between Tony and Ozzy.
@@Stemcellactivationpatches2023 Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne are co-owners 50/50 split settled out of court in 2010 after Ronnie James Dio RIP passed away. The agreement is that no " new " material can be released unless 3 original members of Black Sabbath are participating in the project which was done for the recording of the 13 album when Tony and Ozzy hired original member Geezer Butler to play on the album and tour.
I think the new remixed albums sound so much better and as a long time Black Sabbath fan I think looking back over history it is clear to me that Tony Martin is the best singer the band ever had because of his voice and range he is the only one who could sing any song on all 19 albums.
Got mine yesterday and its exceptional
Great job breaking down the late 80s-90s band history which is such a confusing and convoluted period! Quite frankly, I've always thought of it as a something other than "Black Sabbath" because it was! A bunch of Iommi solo albums with a somewhat steady vocalist. At any rate I'm happy to finally discover this period thanks to the box and there is indeed some very good quality music here. I am disappointed though, that there are no lyrics in the CD set.
Hi, from 🇧🇷! Great box!
Black Sabbath is my favorite catholic rock band 🤘✝️🦇
Great review and historical Info. about a band that I have loved since I was in high school ('70-'74) and have followed ever since. It is great to see that the material from their "unpopular" era(s) is being appreciated and recognized. I also was curious about the title( no mention of Tony Martin's name) . I do have the original versions, but I am curious if they are going to release the "Forbidden" remix as a single disc ???
The new mix of Forbidden is immense! It sounds absolutely amazing! I loved the original but the new Tony Iommi mix is 🔥
Great review.
Great video dear, thanks!
the martin era is a must. for all the hate that 'forbidden' received, i still prefer the original version to the remixed one because the keyboards make the title track so much more alive.
Need to get this box set, looks and sounds amazing based on what I’ve heard on Apple Music!
Hand down ,HEADLESS CROSS ,ITS REFRESHING TO HEAR IT WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY, TONY MARTIN DESERVES MORE ACKNOWLEDEMENT. THANKS T IOMMI..
Great video. Sadly Headless Cross is faulty on Apple Music, there had been some inquiries already. They might look into that, Type O Negative ran into similar problems. 7 out of 9 songs just cut off after 2-3 minutes. The title track is already removed, I guess next week it'll be properly fixed. The boxset is sold out everywhere online and especially local stores but Tony Martin already confirmed that it's not a limited edition and they never anticipated the demands. I always wanted these albums but even 9 years ago Headless Cross was at least $24. Also in Europe the box set is almost twice the price than in North America... But that's often been the case. I'm just glad these three wonderful albums (and Forbidden, which is okay to below average - sounds great, but at least half of the songs don't move me) are available.
Doesn’t make sense that there are no lyrics in the cd version, yet they are included in the vinyl box.
CD’s are too small to print the lyrics for them to be any useful.
@@BrendonSnyder I think they should have been printed in the back of the book.
@@kevinm5957 it's a business trick to get u to buy both.
Wow you learn something new everyday. I never knew Rob Halford sang with Black Sabbath, I wonder if there's any bootlegs. Looks like a good box set, thanks for the video.
there is stuff all over youtube you can watch
Yes he actually fronted the band on two different occasions once in the early 90’s and once in the late 90’s. The first time filling in for Ronnie James Dio and the second time for Ozzy. There are lots of boots of the 2nd show.
Just got my copy today.
We need some demos of David danato ( later formed white tiger with mark St. John ex kiss member ) danato was set to be the lead singer of Black Sabbath look for a issue of Karang magazine for the danato promo shots and interviews with the band and he did some limited demo work with Black Sabbath hopefully one day we will get this on a box set the demo tracks danato did with the band ( now passed away and forgotten) but a great vocalist check out the white tiger LP debut the only LP they made -- Anthony ( queens New York City )
Ron Keel of the band Keel also fronted the band briefly. Regarding White Tiger they recorded 2 albums but the 2nd album remains unreleased although there are bootlegs of the demos out there.
nice to meet you~Brendon~ beautifful ,later! ;))
I generally agree that there should be a box that covers all the releases after Heaven and Hell, but the Dehumanizer CD is in the "Rules of Hell " box set so we are covered there. Cross Purposes Live is not included , at least from what i gather, because Sharon has the rights to the Ozzy era songs preformed on that record, and Born Again is going to be remastered separately. Hopefully this one gets the multi-CD treatment that some of the other records got. I'm overall disappointed that there is no treasure trove of unreleased material, but i will be getting this for the remasters. Especially Forbidden. Sheesh! 😂 great video!
Sharon doesn’t own the rights to the Ozzy era songs…the writers own the rights. That said, Sharron isn’t preventing the live album from being included. The reason I know this is she didn’t stop the Black Sabbath Live Evil boxset with Ronnie James Dio singing the Ozzy era songs. She also didn’t stop the live albums released under the name Heaven And Hell that featuring the Dio era Black Sabbath line-up performing old Black Sabbath songs. Ozzy owns 50% of the name Black Sabbath and an agreement was made that only new material with Ozzy would be released under the name Black Sabbath. But all pre-recorded material is allowed to be released according to Tony Iommi.
@@BrendonSnyder
I didn't know any of the details on any of that stuff. Good to know! Given that, why notrelease Cross Purposes Live then, I wonder?
@@stephenfeltner3258 Cross Purposes live is owned by PMI entertainment not IRS which is what BMG entertainment bought the rights to..
I've tried really hard to get into these albums, but honestly I can't for the life of me figure out why so many seem to suddenly be liking any of these. But, I'm glad they now at least sound a bit better for all who appreciate them.
I don't have any of the Tony Martin releases - so I'm going to go out an pick this one up. I haven't been able to find any of the originals for a decent price.
I have to correct you on something here. The Tony Martin era was never supposed to be reissued back then, Tony Iommi never promised it. I got to interview Tony Martin, he told me that Sharon Osborne never saw him as an official member of Black Sabbath, she was the reason why his era never got reissued, at least until now. There is proof in that statement, especially as Ray Gillen's recording's of the Eternal Idol got a reissue, Tony Martin's didn't. If that isn't politics then I don't know what is.
That’s incorrect and your own comment shows just how incorrect you are 😂😂😂 Yes the Tony Martin album The Eternal Idol has been reissued twice before and with Tony Martin singing. On the 2nd reissue that was a 2 CD set, the 2nd disc features the unreleased recordings with Ray Gillen. They did not omit Tony Martin in the release. Get your facts straight before trying to correct someone.
@@BrendonSnyder Is reading not your strong suit, mate? You do realise that there is also a statement on Blabbermouth from Tony addressing this very issue. This is what it says:
As for why 1987's "The Eternal Idol" album is missing from the box, Martin confirmed that the rights to his BLACK SABBATH debut, unfortunately with another record company. "It's owned by somebody else," Martin said. "And also, 'The Eternal Idol', well, it was kind of re-released not that long ago, really.
Reading is my strong suit. In your last paragraph, you said the Ray Gillen version of The Eternal Idol was reissued but not the Tony Martin version. You said this was because Sharon does not view Tony Martin as a proper member of Black Sabbath.
But this thing about the Eternal Idol is not true. The Eternal Idol was reissued previously with Tony Martin and the Ray Gillen version is the demo version on a bonus disc. Thats what Brendon just told you.
And then your reply was waffling separately on about this boxset. The Eternal Idol is not in it because it was on a different label- Warner. These are the IRS albums.
“There is proof in that statement, especially as Ray Gillen's recording's of the Eternal Idol got a reissue, Tony Martin's didn't. If that isn't politics then I don't know what is”
- its this statement of yours that is completely wrong.
I know because I myself have the deluxe CD of The Eternal Idol with Tony Martin on it 🤣
Eternal Idol deluxe 2 edition CD is available on Sanctuary Records it was previously on the Warner Brothers record label not IRS which is what BMG entertainment bought from IRS Records.
Don't know if you have already seen tony Martin's interview with Phil aston..Tony Martin explained why cross purposes live is not on here ..he also explains he has a lot of unreleased tracks that they couldn't put on here because of rights to the black sabbath name which tony dont have...sharon and ozzy have the rights to the name...so they cant release new or unreleased material under the sabbath name.he explains all of this...the three bonus tracks on this format have always been available in one format or another....anyway check out phil aston interview with tony Martin....keep up the good work Brendon
No Ozzy and Sharon do not have the rights to the name, Tony owns 50% and Ozzy owns 50%. Part of the agreement when Ozzy returned to the band as well as getting 50% of the name was that only new music would be released with Ozzy. This was an effort to restore the name and led the band credibility. That agreement though doesn’t prevent older material from coming out. Demos are not new material though Ozzy may have rejected it because he owns half of the band name.
@@BrendonSnyderEdward Van Halen was under contract for another record company W.B.records which is why it wasn't released in 94 on the IRS Records purchased by BMG entertainment for the Anno Domini Box set.
@@BrendonSnyderCross Purposes live is owned by PMI entertainment not IRS.
Mine Is on the way. 😊
Of all Super-deluxe edition of Black Sabbath-albums I think Volume 4 and Technical Ecstacy was the best because of all outtakes and live-material, hardback book and everything. Then Sabotage got a great concert, and Live Evil was a missed opportunity (they could have done something like "No sleep 'til Hammersmith" or "Strangers in the night" instead with many concerts collected).
Hopefully we will get some releases from the sound board like other bands have done
I just listened to the new mix of forbidden and it sounds like the guitar parts were re-recorded by Tony iommi. If he didn’t do that, then he had to have used different takes of his guitar and the drums to put together a new mix. If that’s the case, it’s a different recording of the album. I could be wrong, but I think it’s a much needed improvement in the production and it feels like a new album.
He did not re-record any parts. However he said there are some instances in which he used different guitar takes. But yes the remix is wildly different sounding from the original and it’s all the better for it.
Solid box set on vinyl and CD; only negatives are that the book is soft and not hard bound an no Japanese tracks for vinyl customers, lastly no reproduced liner notes / inner sleeves for CD customers. Still I like many didn't have the Martin albums because they were extremely hard to find even the smaller marketed labels that got the rights to the albums.
All in all though 5/5 for me the negatives are nothing to me , I am vinyl guy and getting these on Vinyl is great. Vinyl sounds awesome , liner notes are reproduced so that you can properly read them and lastly you do get the poly sleeves and not just paper sleeves to protect the vinyl as well. Forbidden finally sounds properly finished, TYR probably didn't need a remastering but it always sounded as it should and Cross Purposes is solid sounding as well and one of my favorite Martin era albums.
Martin Box Album Rankings for ME -
1- Headless Cross
2- Cross Purposes
3- TYR
4- Forbidden
Forbidden is still the weakest album of the four here however guitars & drums have returned w/ Iommi taking the helm at the mixing table. At last it sounds like a Sabbath album very similar to 13 in guitar tone.
As far as Idol not being included I am fine with that it has already had a repressing's & cd re-releases previously in select markets. These above are the true Martin era albums and I picked them up and you should to. They definitely will grow on you quickly when you sit down and listen to them.
I got the vynil box set. I'm happy with it, I started liking this version about 10 years ago. Been a fan ever since. I hate they left out eternal idol. Tony Iommi tried to change the name of the band but, management said no.
Actually he didn’t try to change the name of the band he just tried to make a solo album and they wouldn’t release it unless he used the Black Sabbath name so that’s why Seventh Star says Black Sabbath Featuring Tony Iommi. That was the compromise.
One CD missing! Everyone says it covers the Tony Martin years! No, Eternal Idol is missing! But I love ya man, greetings from Germany!
Far too dear in Ireland - 151 USD to buy in a shop and 121 USD to buy from Amazon with shipping
Only interested in Headless Cross, hopefully will be released on its own in due course
Brendon, any thoughts on if/when they might simply sell each of the individual remastered albums as stand alone CDs in jewel cases?
Only if the boxset is successful. I wouldn’t hold your breath for individual releases.
I'd love it but how much will Tony get from these sales? I don't want to finance Sharon.
I wanted to make sure I understood you. When you line these up with the paranoid, vol4, sabatage etc box sets they are all the same dimensions?
I was looking at taking the plunge but the sabbath paranoid cd box set is through the roof expensive. Do you know why?
Yes same dimensions and shape. And yes as they go out of print the price skyrocket. You’ve got to buy them when they come out. Don’t wait.
@@BrendonSnyderthanks! I’ve watched your review 4 times , you’ve convinced me to order!
I know you have no way of knowing but based on your previous experiences do you think some of those other cd box sets would be re released?
If I had to give my opinion I think under the band name Heaven and Hell: The Devil you Know is still black sabbath even if the name is different and I feel as though that album is Black Sabbath’s heaviest album
I completely agree whole heartedly. Doesn’t matter what it’s called it was Black Sabbath.
That's because Eternal Idol is owned by Warner Bros and they put a deluxe remaster of that out about 10 years ago so it's available
Available on Sanctuary Records with Ray Gillen demos and the studio album with Tony Martin on vocals CD only
I think that they do soft-back books more often now (Hawkwind, Bob Dylan etc.) but the price is still high, and it makes me a bit disapointed. When you pay like a 100 euro/dollar/pounds I expect not to get just some CDs and a soft backbook. That feels cheap... And greedy... Anyway, good job with your channel! 🙂
My friend got the vinyl version and it doesn't have the bonus tracks.
Yeah.vthays deliberate so u are tempted to buy both. That one has the lyrics whereas the CD box doesn't. Its all designed so u buy both. Business.
🤘🏻
For Tony Martin completists check out The Giuntini Project II.
…also check out Empire, Rondinelli, Mollo/Martin, and the Tony Martin’s solo albums.
They should have remixed headless cross also it would sound a lot better
I never had an issue with Headless Cross except it badly needed a remaster and we got it. But I would have loved remixes of all of the albums.
My personal favorite Black Sabbath singer is Ozzy!!
The eternal idol is not because it's on a different label and it's a license issue according to tony Martin plus he said eternal idol has already been re issued a few years back...that's what he explained the other day on Phil Aston now spinning magazine channel
All these cds are on the IRS label
Yes I explained this same response in my video too 👍
Vertigo records...All I'm saying is tony Martin's interview said they didn't do eternal idol because a license issue because it was on a different label and also because it had already been reissued a few years earlier
How much is this in the US? Its £99 here in UK, that’s £50 too much in my opinion
$53 US dollars
60 $ in the u.s in Europe 120 eur for the vinil 90 for the cd
I really like the remastering/remixing they did on them but noway i am paying regular CD prices on crappy carboard sleeves.
That’s just the way these boxsets are. Take it or leave it.
@@BrendonSnyder I will leave it for sure. Hopefully they will release them individually down the road. I have the first 3 in OG releases but really only interested in remastred "Headless Cross" & "Tyr"
Ok, here's my opinion on why there isn't any demos, live material, etc. Simply because the Martin era was the least accepted. Perhaps the BMG/Rhino weren't willing to go all out. Think of the set as a way to test the waters. If it does well enough, they may be willing to re-release with more extras. Considering I have heard they may release Cross Purposes Live if this does well, that may be the case. Right now, they just wanted to get the albums back out.
My initial impression of the Forbidden remix is that the drums, bass, and guitars sound better. I think they went too far, though. Stripping out the keyboards, using alternate takes, etc was completely unnecessary.
0:59 Unfortunately the box is not come to my doorstep or postbox because there are delivering problems by the wholesale or how it's called in english. No online record shop or physically record shop in the Netherlands can deliver the box. And I preorder it weeks ago very disappointing 😞
Hope it arrives for you soon!
Oh no. I hope u get it soon!!
Seven star in my opinion should be reissued as Tony Iommi solo album as it was originally intended
Since Tony and Ozzy are 50/50 co- owners now that could possibly be done depending on it Ozzy Osborne ir willing to give up the Black Sabbath name for that album possibly losing money on record sales if it is ever remixed it was intended to have Robert Plant,David Cloverdale,Ronnie James Dio RIP and Roh Halford singing but recording contracts prevented them except for Glenn Hughes and Don Arden along with other record company executives talked Tony Iommi into releasing it under Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi as far as a one off show with Bill Ward that doesn't seem likely may Tony Geezer and
Ozzy play 3 songs in 2025 at Ozzy Osborne planned 2 fawell shows in Birmingham England Ozzy Osborne and friends.
My understanding is cross-purposes live album is not owned by IRS records but is owned by Emi records
PMI entertainment company
I think I'll pass as I have all the, Martin Era albums on cassette and cd already. I saw the un-boxing and I was disappointed with the cheap cardboard sleeves.
Where is the Cross Purposes Live Album?
Cross Purposes live is owned by PMI entertainment not IRS which is what BMG entertainment bought the rights to and also released Rhino Records in the United States.
@@richardhincemon Thank You👍
On this new box set with Tony Martin Ozzy Osbourne is making 50% of all sales of that boxer since he's 50% owner of the name he's making a lot of money
The percentage of money that Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne are making is only a drop in the bucket compared to what BMG entertainment not Rhino Records is making on the sales of the Anno Domini Box set is selling World Wide there are a lot more people who have their fingers in the pie than the Co - owners of the Black Sabbath name and. Everyone thinks it's Tony Iommi and Ozzy and Sharon Osborne but they're other record company executives and managers who are making money too nothing has changed much in the Entertainment industry.
Those 3 aongs are not unreleased. They were Japanese bonus tracks so that’s why they can be included. The Osbournes won’t let any unreleased stuff out.
No it’s not about “unreleased” music, it’s about no “new” music. If your comment was right then they wouldn’t have allowed the unreleased recordings of The Eternal Idol with Ray Gillen or the live album with Ray Ray Gillen or the live album with Ian Gillan to be released as part of the double disc reissues from a few years back. Black Sabbath has released demos as part of 4 albums from the Ozzy era. This all comes down to record label rights.
@@BrendonSnyder except that EI set came out in 2010 & BA in 2011, before the final deal over the name, which paved the way for the 13 album. The Osbourne's will not allow anything to come out under the Black Sabbath name that hasn't already been issued in some form or other. Tony Martin & Tony Iommi have both stated that they were unable to include unreleased tracks for legal reasons. In fact Tony Martin stated that any recordings that they could find would be legally considered 'new' music. But, even so, those three tracks on the CD version of this box are not unreleased. They have all been out previously, which is why they are allowed on the set.
Cross Purposes Live not included in my opinion. The release includes Martin singing Ozzy and Dio era songs. With Ozzy (Sharon) owning 50 percent of Sabbath would more than likely never let something be released under the Black Sabbath name with someone else singing Ozzy songs.
Cross Purposes live is owned by PMI entertainment not IRS which is what BMG entertainment bought the rights to and also released Rhino Records in the United States.
Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne are 50/50 co- owners of the Black Sabbath name Sharon Osborne doesn't own anything she was in charge of the merchandise during the Ozzfests years.
"Dominai"?
Cd box dont lyrics booklet ... Lp box dont bonus tracks... wrong
Deliberate ..so u buy both. Business. I woulnt mind if I know TM would get a big cut from it but will he? Or will Sharon??
I'm happy with this set. All the comments on why is this and that not in it are obvious when common sense is initiated.
Correct. That’s why I explained it in the video for those that don’t know the ins and outs of the industry. 👍
The only way they can put out that other material would be under a different name
Here in England this costs £95 which for me is grossly overpriced for a 4 cd boxset. I am a fan of the Tony Martin era but I won't be buying this boxset unless it comes down in price later on.
Those ‘96 Castle remastered cds aren’t the best sounding Brendon. Much prefer the original first issued CDs. There is a 1990 Japan cd for ‘Born Again’ that sounds great.
I disagree
@@BrendonSnyder
Each to their own. 😀They sound ok, but there’s better out there. That ‘Born Again’ cd you have is one notoriously bad sounding disc, the ‘90 Japan or the 2cd deluxe are better choices. Steve Hoffman forums gives great advice for best sounding CDs.
It sounds bad because it’s a bad mix to start with. I’ve heard the original vinyl version and it’s comparable to the CD. I also own the 2 CD reissue and it doesn’t sound any better IMO. This is why I originally said I disagree with you. We all hear things differently.
@@BrendonSnyder
It’s a bad mix not helped by added compression on that Castle cd. The 2cd/Japan are much better sounding imo - but we like what we like! I enjoyed your video 👍
@@BrendonSnyder besides personal preference, the sound system makes a big difference as well. On a decent pair of shelf-speakers the 90's compressed remasters tend to work better than on 3-way floor speakers that usually offer a bit more definition. At least, that's what my ears keep telling me.
I wish they would of made it just a little more tight so it doesn’t just fall out lol 😂
Me too!
I think the IRS label is completely out of business

Sorry, I should watch videos to the end before commenting! Thats to you!
The set you unboxed isn't $60....more like $160 on Amazon. The set with just the CDs is about $60
There is only one CD set available, the one I am showing here. This set, the one in my hands is currently $52 on Amazon. They are not selling one with just CDs. If you don’t believe me, just read the product description on Amazon and you’ll see the $52 version contains the book, poster, and replica tour book.
@@BrendonSnyder not sure why I'm seeing a CD version for $160 on there. But $52 sounds more reasonable
The LP edition is only $99 so the CD set wouldn’t be more. The one you’re seeing for $160 is a 3rd party reseller not Amazon. It may be an import or the person is trying to capitalize on people who don’t know what it should cost. But the real edition on Amazon is currently only $52.
It's in Latin - DominEE
Actually there are 32 acceptable pronunciations for the word, including how I say it. 👍
the cheap cardboard sleeves put me off right away, no lyrics as well...
