Master Of Blue Light uses the audience source to complete “Child In Time” as well as for most of the the encores and Battle Master is an uncut soundboard with the exception of “Smoke On The Water” which unfortunately ends rather abruptly. chambau, I honestly never heard the older sources but I can say that I thought the sound quality was better than average, even for soundboards. Yes Robert, I am looking forward to the Sabbath myself. I decided to re-visit some of my roots and picked up the recent no label “Montreux 1970″ and was very pleased. The new 1970 Montreux SBD is a great Sabbath discovery. I saw that Bondage has finally released their version of it with a couple bonus demos from 1969 ‘Discovery Of Madness’ [Bondage Music BON353]. I wonder if anyone knows how the no label release compares to this new Bondage title? Or will there be a CMR review? I presume DTB are saying that ‘Battle Master’ is an upgrade to their previous ‘Lost Milan Tape 1993′ (DTB 010/011), which I got some 5yrs ago. Myself, I think I’d need to hear ‘Battle Msaster’ first, before I consider buying, as ‘Lost Milan’ is terrific, with all the instruments nice and clear. A cut or two, some distortion (eg Gillan’s screaming in ‘Child In Time’), and that truncated ‘Smoke’ are the only minus points. I also think ‘Lost Milan 1993′ has the better artwork, having seenn front and back of ‘Battle Master’. Re your Q, Robert, Bondage’s version wasn’t far behind the No Label release – I ordered as soon as I saw it listed and got both titles in the same order. The Bondage is mastered ‘louder’, displaying more clipping on Audacity, and sounding slightly the rougher of the two, but both sound great. There is a slight dip in the volume of the No Label after Iommi’s first play of the intro, no dout as the taper adjusted the recording level, but Bondage seem to have levelled this out. I have been collecting Sabbath boots since 1987, and this is definitely one of the ‘must haves’. Thanks so much aleebee! You are the man! Exactly the info I was looking for. I’ve heard the show (which is for sure a ‘must have’) but I haven’t purchased either title yet. Which one would you go for given that you own both? And what are the demos like on the Bondage title? When this show was first discovered, I also heard that the only source was lossy mp3′s. Any ideas on that? i.e. are either of these titles mp3 sourced? I am after newest Led Zeppelin title and I have to say that thi is a huge (at least for me) improvement over few past titles, such as “Mary Kezar” (Wendy) or “Imperial Kezar” (Electric Magic). The sound isn’t amplified, the speed/pitch seems to be corrected and splice between audience and soundboard are done in a truly perfect way, not missing any note from actual show!
