Black Sabbath – The Manor Tapes (1983/2011)

October 28, 2023

I need to get myself a copy of this. Born Again is one of the better latter Sabbath albums (fight me), but the mix is a fucking abomination. The Manor Tapes not only clears up the production so that the record is appreciatable in its definitive form, but we also get extended / different version of “Stonehenge” and “Zero The Hero”, and on top of that we also get the unreleased track “The Fallen”.

This is THE way to listen to Born Again, and the fact that it was ever released in any other form is absolutely fucking perplexing to me.
