OZZY OSBOURNE – KANSAS CITY 1984 SOUNDBOARD (CD-R)

Description

Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, MO, USA 11th February 1984 SBD
★First appearance of soundboard!!

　The Ozzy Osbourne Band from the Carmine Appice era, which was said to be the “strongest of all time” but failed to leave an official work. This soundboard album will imprint that miraculous ensemble in your mind!

　This work was recorded at the “February 11, 1984 Kansas City Performance.” This is the first soundboard recording of the performance. Speaking of Ozzy in the Carmine era, all members were a dream team made up of historic star players. However, to understand its true value, they had to rely on the audience. This work is a soundboard that puts an end to such a frustrating history. First, let’s review the overview of the “Carmine era,” the existence of which is unknown, and then approach the position of this work.

[Finally unearthed: a soundboard from the Carmine era]
　This is the band’s journey from 1983 to 1985. Tommy Aldridge played drums almost exclusively, with Carmine sitting on a stool on “Europe #2” and “North America #2,” released shortly after the completion of “Howl at the Moon.” Carmine is a legendary figure who left a huge mark on rock history. We have archived as many of Ozzy Osbourne’s masterpieces as possible, so that you can enjoy his next-level, vocal-driven drumming. This is a great opportunity to check out our collection.

　Our three major press masterpieces, “DEFINITIVE LEICESTER 1983 (Zodiac 841),” “CRY WOLF: STOCKHOLM 1983 (Zodiac 527),” and “BETHLEHEM 1984 (Zodiac 774),” are among the many impressive albums, but the only professional record is the classic pro shot “ROCK POP 1983.” This work is a long-awaited soundboard album for enthusiasts.

　This work has an overwhelming sense of directness, precisely because it is a line. The direct connection to the mix table, where loud cheers whisper far and wide, vocals that sound like they’re singing in your ear, guitars that tug at your skull, synths that are intricately intertwined with the guitar, and a precise bass from attack to sound. And Carmine’s first-rate singing fills… everything is reproduced in your brain with a presence that you can’t miss. This is a piece that will make you drown in the pleasure of the soundboard alone.

[Carmine’s masterpieces, arrived at after repeated evolution]
　However, they were not perfect. Detailed gene information was lost on this newly excavated master, and the ending of “Suicide Solution” was omitted. Furthermore, there was irreparable damage to “Paranoid,” and unfortunately, the middle section was not included in this work. Nevertheless, the approximately 70-minute recording time far exceeds the professional shot “ROCK POP 1983.” You can enjoy a large number of Carmine versions. Let’s check out the contents here.

●Howl at the Moon (3 songs)
・Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebel (★) / Bark At The Moon / Centre Of Eternity
●Others (7 songs + 1 song)
・Randy era: I Don’t Know / Mr. Crowley / Revelation (Mother Earth) (★) / Steal Away (The Night) (★) / Suicide Solution (★) / Flying High Again (★) / Crazy Train (★)
・Sabbath era: Iron Man / Paranoid (cut in the middle)
*Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the classic pro shot “ROCK POP 1983”.

…And so it goes. Furthermore, this album marks the end of the Carmine era. The Kansas City performance on this album was the 55th performance since Carmine joined, and the ensemble is fully developed. Carmine’s unique fills, which have been increasing day by day, have reached their peak, and each song is like a rebirth from Tommy Aldridge.

　Even during the Carmine era, which is widely considered the strongest of all time, the meticulously crafted final ensemble pours into your brain. This newly discovered live album truly makes “a lover’s dream” a reality. This was introduced by the Shades label with the hope of discovering an upgraded master, but the content and quality are impressive. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content!

★This is the first soundboard recording of the “February 11, 1984 Kansas City Performance.” The loud cheers are whispered far and wide through the direct connection to the mix table, and Jake’s skull-churning guitar and Carmine’s first-rate vocal fills are poured into your brain. This is a long-awaited soundboard album for enthusiasts, allowing you to experience the final days of Carmine’s era, when he accumulated numerous performances and his unique fills reached their peak.
