![]() Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn’t showing signs of coming back. This vintage pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records rarely even BEGIN to reproduce. 5 stars: “Master of Reality essentially creates multiple metal subgenres all by itself, laying the sonic foundations for doom, stoner, AND sludge metal, all in the space of just over half an hour.”.It is ridiculously tough to find copies of this album that sound this good and play this quietly, tougher even than it is for Paranoid or the first album.These sides are big and bold with plenty of bass and driving rock energy – this is the right sound for this heavy music.An excellent original pressing of Black Sabbath’s third studio release, with outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound from first note to last – exceptionally quiet vinyl too.The record went on to go double-platinum, selling two million copies in America.

Bill struggled to play “Into the Void.” He attempted to lay down his part in different studios and had at one point given up trying but eventually got it.ġ3. “Sweet Leaf” is considered by many the quintessential stoner anthem.ġ2.

Speaking of Lopez, her name is notably not in Carey’s memoir. Carey’s deliciously shady put-downs are legend: her “I don’t know her”, when asked almost two decades ago about Jennifer Lopez is still the internet’s most beloved diss. From now on, I’m like, ‘Please refer to page 29,’ you know what I mean?” she says. “No offence to doing interviews, but what would be the point? I can’t articulate it better than I already have. So Carey is conducting the promotional tour for her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, from her kitchen table, and if she has her way – and who would dare to argue? – this will be the last round of interviews she ever does. “But it’s difficult for the kids, because they’re used to three-times-a-year Disney World moments and stuff like that, and that’s just not the current state of affairs.” It is not. “Honestly, I don’t miss anyone outside, so I don’t care about lockdown,” she says with a throaty laugh.

Carey liked Cannon’s proposal so much that she even wrote a song about it, called Candy Bling. Nick is Nick Cannon, the twins’ father, and “candy bling” is Carey’s term for her engagement ring, which Cannon hid inside a sweet before proposing. You don’t become one of the most successful singer-songwriters of all time – she has sold more than 200m records, and only the Beatles have had more US No 1 songs – without being a trouper.Ĭarey, 50, has spent lockdown with her nine-year-old twins, Monroe, named for Carey’s hero, Marilyn Monroe, and Moroccan, named partly for one of her favourite rooms in one of her houses, the Moroccan room, “where so many creative and magical moments have happened, including Nick presenting me with my candy bling”. But it’s OK, it was just one night and here I am,” she says. ![]() ![]() Then I tried to get some sleep, but actually I watched the interview I did with Oprah. “Typically I would have been working until now, but we had a situation and I couldn’t. Alas, for reasons too complicated to get into, for one night only, Carey was a non-nocturnal person, so now 6am is just 6am. But at the last minute, it was decided we would talk at 6am her time, which I was promised would be fine because Carey is a self-described “nocturnal person”, so that would be 6pm for her. The time and date of our interview have moved around so many times to accommodate Carey’s ever-shifting schedule that, for a while, it looked as if it wouldn’t happen at all. ![]() “Well, darling, then let’s not book interviews at 6am if you’re worried! But please, it’s not you,” she says, and indeed it isn’t. I’m sorry you had to get up so early for this interview, I say. “It’s 6am here, and I’m awake in the bright light and it’s fabulous and I love it,” she says and makes an exaggerated groan. |
