BLACK SABBATH - VOL4 - SIDE 2 (1972) | Vinyl on Vintage Gear ⏺ 🎶

Released in 1972, Vol. 4 marks the moment Black Sabbath took total control of their own sound. Ditching their long-time producer, Tony Iommi stepped up to the desk to forge an album that was both brutally heavy and deeply experimental. This is an absolute masterpiece, dragging you from the crushing riffs into the melancholic beauty of 'Changes'. The soundscape on 'Changes' is absolutely incredible—stripped down to just a piano, mellotron, and Ozzy’s raw, haunting vocals, proving that Sabbath could be just as powerful in total stillness. This pure analog rip brings back the heavy low-end and vintage separation that digital streaming completely compresses away. Chapters: 0:00 Snowblind 5:31 Cornucopia 9:24 Laguna Sunrise (instrumental) 12:18 St. Vitus Dance 14:46 Under the Sun Recorded direct from amplifier to digital recorder. Record Player → amplifier → digital converter/recorder Tech Specs: Player: Dual 1225 Stylus: Dual DN201 (new) Amp: Pioneer A117 Format: 24-bit/96 kHz YouTube compression YouTube compression and digitization always alter the analog signal. These videos are 'sonic previews'—a glimpse into the vibe and gear. For the true warmth and depth, nothing beats the original analog needle on the wax. Pro Tip: For the best audio quality, I recommend watching in 4K/2160p. YouTube allocates higher audio bitrates to high-resolution video, making a noticeable difference in the sound. ----------------- ⚠️ Please note: Capturing analog sound direct or through a microphone and uploading it to YouTube is always a compromise. Once analog audio is digitized and compressed, the signal is significantly altered. Think of these videos as a 'sonic preview'—they offer a glimpse into the vibe and the gear, but they can’t replicate the true warmth and depth of a live vinyl session. For the authentic experience, nothing beats the original analog needle on a record." 🎶 #vinyl #vinylrip #vintageaudio #rock #music #blacksabbath #tonyiommi #ozzy
