Jimmy`s Jukebox: Black Sabbath

To the Dime community that Dan so loved, here is an uncirculated Black Sabbath tape from his collection. Dan also taped this show, but with his early gear.

The equipment that recorded this tape is unknown, but is likely identical to the Sony equipment that Dan taped with from 1974-1976.

Black Sabbath was Dan's first musical love; they were his first ever concert in 1971. It's fitting to close the circle with this tape.

A folder of photos and memories of Dan is included in this torrent.

Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

Black Sabbath - 1975-08-05 Convention Hall - Asbury, New Jersey

from sabbathlive.com:

A highly respected Sabbath collector contacted King Biscuit to inquire about the full release of their 1975 show, which was thought to be from Philadelphia by most people at the time. King Biscuit had been taking requests for future releases, so this was a completely legitimate request. Their initial response was that the show “wasn’t good enough”. But once the KB engineers had a listen to the tapes, they quickly discovered how wrong their assessment was. One of them even asked the collector to identify a song for them. It turned out to be “Spiral Architect”! Also, the tapes were identified as being from the Asbury Park show, NOT Philadelphia as previously thought. [Note: However, the engineer did claim the date was still 8/6/75, although the Asbury Park show has been proven to be a day earlier. Sabbath performed in Philadelphia on 7/31/75.]

The King Biscuit kindly sent the collector a complimentary copy of the show, since there were now plans to release it officially. But when he tried to follow up on this release a few months later, the King Biscuit employee no longer worked there and the release was apparently nixed. And it was from this ‘advance promo’ that the current slew of Asbury Park bootlegs originated from.
