BLACK SABBATH “TECHNICAL ECSTASY” SUPER DELUXE EDITION AVAILABLE IN CD AND LP VERSIONS ON OCTOBER 1ST

August 4, 2021 3 Comments

Black Sabbath embraced change in 1976 when the heavy metal innovators started managing themselves and began exploring different sounds on the band’s seventh studio album, Technical Ecstasy. The record reached #13 in the U.K. and was certified gold in the U.S.
Rhino honors this daring album with a collection that includes a newly remastered version of the original, a brand-new mix by Steven Wilson, plus more than 90 minutes of previously unreleased outtakes, alternative mixes and live tracks. Technical Ecstasy: Super Deluxe Edition will be available on October 1st as a 4-CD set ($59.98) and 5-LP set ($109.98) on 180-gram black vinyl. Both the 4-CD and 5-LP versions are available for pre-order now at the Rhino.com store. The remastered studio album will be available the same day on digital download and streaming services. The newly remastered version of Back Street Kids is available today digitally.
In the summer of 1976, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward headed to Miami to record Technical Ecstasy at the famed Criteria Studios. The band was coming off a world tour for their previous album, Sabotage, that had found their live performances evolving to include keyboards and synthesizers. These newly incorporated instruments and sounds were then introduced into the recording process on Technical Ecstasy. The new songs encompassed a wide range of styles from the hard charging Back Street Kids and ballad It’s Alright, to the funky All Moving Parts (Stand Still) and progressive Gypsy. The album also featured the single It’s Alright, which was the first Sabbath song to feature lead vocals by Ward. The Deluxe Edition presents a newly remastered version of the eight-track album, along with an entirely new mix of the album created by Steven Wilson using the original analog tapes.
The collection comes with an extensive booklet featuring artwork, liner notes, rare memorabilia and photos from the era, plus a replica of the 1976-77 world tour concert book and a large color poster.

    OK, I just did not feel the price that they were asking for the Sabotage and Vol 4 Deluxe set was worth what I was getting, so I did not buy it. I don’t feel that I am missing out on anything. One of them has 2 songs on one disc. This TE has only 10 songs on the concert and most are greatest hit songs not from TE. All moving parts live is the only thing capturing my attention here. Now I did buy the Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti 3 Disc, deluxe and the sound is just fantastic!! Crystal clear! I am interested in the new release of the Mob Rules with the new live concert.

      George, I have that Mob Rules Deluxe edition. I’d recommend it, it’s awesome!

      Mob Rules tour was my first time seeing Sabbath.
