I've been wondering how much an improvement this is over the original release.

The source of the material is a cassette dub from the session reels, decent quality but a little noisy.  The songs are in varying stages of development, fairly close to the LP versions but distinct enough to make it an entertaining listen.  

Maybe one of these days Warner Bros. will locate the multi-tracks (they are currently lost) and they can do a full remix of the album as Iommi has wanted to do for many years.

That and some different artwork may bring it the positive attention it deserves.

Dagon - Terraphobic

Argus - Blood, Fire, Beer
Age Of Taurus - Desperate Souls Of Tortured Times

Did you get the whole box set? That looks like a cool history of prog with some popular standards mixed with some obscure oddities. Too spendy for me, but looks interesting.

Yes, I have the entire box.  It is a good overview (some heavyweights like King Crimson are missing due to licensing issues).  

There is a similar set (now sadly OOP) that was released in the late 90s called "Supernatural Fairy Tales" that makes an excellent companion to this box.

Supernatural Fairy Tales

Not a very original LP title though



Really like this record though

I think the box set was named in tribute to that record. Do you have that Art record on vinyl? I have a CD re-issue and it's mixed just awful. Makes me wonder if the sound men had no idea how to mix something that heavy in 1967 (one of the very loudest bands out there then) or if the poor mix is peculiar to the CD?

I've only got this on cassette taped from the original vinyl, it sounds okay to me, not great but not horrible, I haven't heard the CD so can't compare. Have been looking at the vinyl reissue recently and you can get it very reasonably so I'm going to do that as the original vinyl is a bit too much for my modest means.

Fantastic record though!

So my wife is out of town on a girls' weekend out for the first time in I don't know how long, and you'd think I'd enjoy a little freedom, even with the kids here? Nope. Ever since I put the kids to bed, I've been a nervous wreck  . After deep cleaning the kitchen, getting the kids' morning mealtime prepped, making the bed, completing four loads of laundry, finishing up prep for my son's birthday party, and ripping several CD's to my laptop, I find myself W I R E D. Since I'm unable to sleep in the bed by myself--after five years it feels too strange without her--I'm in my recliner with the following on. Good night, HOM, I hope--or good morning for most of you.




Eskimo - The Residents


Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks - Brian Eno

Old cassettes. Someday I'll have these on CD.

John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman (1963)
