Rhino is reissuing the hard rock legends' first three albums-Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970) and Master of Reality (1971)-as deluxe 2CD and 2LP sets, along with the 2002 live collection Past Lives. These collections feature the original albums, as remastered by Rhino in 2012, alongside bonus discs of rare material previously only released in U.K.-exclusive deluxe sets issued by Sanctuary Records in 2009. (The track list for the band's self-titled debut has been rearranged to reflect the original U.S. pressing on Warner Bros., swapping out "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games with Me)" for its original non-LP B-side, "Wicked World"; "Evil Woman" thus features on the bonus disc.)

JOE MARCHESE (Editor) joined The Second Disc shortly after its launch in early 2010, and has since penned daily news and reviews about classic music of all genres. In 2015, Joe formed the Second Disc Records label. Celebrating the great songwriters, producers and artists who created the sound of American popular song, Second Disc Records, in conjunction with Real Gone Music, has released newly-curated collections produced by Joe from iconic artists such as Johnny Mathis, Bobby Darin, Laura Nyro, Melissa Manchester, Chet Atkins, and many others. He has contributed liner notes to reissues from a diverse array of artists, among them Nat "King" Cole, Paul Williams, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, B.J. Thomas, The 5th Dimension, Burt Bacharach, The Mamas and the Papas, Carpenters, Perry Como, Rod McKuen, Doris Day, Jackie DeShannon, and Andy Williams, and has compiled releases for talents including Robert Goulet and Keith Allison of Paul Revere and the Raiders. Over the past two decades, Joe has also worked in a variety of capacities on and off Broadway as well as at some of the premier theatres in the U.S., including Lincoln Center Theater, George Street Playhouse, Paper Mill Playhouse, Long Wharf Theatre, and the York Theatre Company. He has felt privileged to work on productions alongside artists such as the late Jack Klugman, Eli Wallach, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. In 2009, Joe began contributing theatre and music reviews to the print publication The Sondheim Review, and in 2012, he joined the staff of The Digital Bits as a regular contributor writing about film and television on DVD and Blu-ray. Joe currently resides in the suburbs of New York City.

    The two Audio Fidelity discs--"Sittin'" In and "Hearts"--are must-haves, IMO. The music is great, of course, but the remastering is fantastic on both. I had an older MFSL silver disc of "Sittin' In," and I think the AF SACD blows it into the weeds.

      I got the Audio Fidelity SACDs about three weeks ago, and yes, they are fantastic!
