Notes

• Disc 1 was originally released as “Live at Last” in 1980 (and again in 1996).  It’s inclusion here in the “Past Lives” package is the first authorized release of that album by the band.
• Disc 1, Tracks 1-5 were recorded at the Hardrock in Manchester, England on Mar 11, 73
• Disc 1, Tracks 6-9 were recorded at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England on Mar 16, 73
• Disc 2, Tracks 1, 5-9 were recorded at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, France – Dec 20, 70
• Disc 2, Tracks 2-4 were recorded at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ – Aug 6, 75
• The working name for Past Lives was originally “Live in 75”.
• This was rumoured for awhile to contain a full professional, legal recording of the famed “Paris 1970” bootleg, one of the more quality bootlegs out there by Black Sabbath.  As noted above, some of the tracks are from Paris ’70, but not the entire gig is here.
• There are two versions of the original 2002 release.  The standard version contains just the music in a conventional jewel case.  The “Limited Edition” version also includes special Digipak packaging, a fold up poster, and a Black Sabbath guitar pick.
• The 2010 Deluxe Edition looks externally similar to the 2002 Deluxe Edition in that it has digipak packaging, but the booklet notes are all new over the 2002 original. he two discs were also remastered for the 2010 release, but the track listing is the same as the older version.   This release also does not have any of the “merch” from the 2002 “Limited Edition” either (the pick or the poster).

Images

• First is the cover for the 2010 “Deluxe Edition” release of Past Lives.  After that are various pictures from the insides of the 2002 & 2010 packaging.

This is both 2002 versions side by side. The one on the right is the “standard” version.	2002: This is what you see when you open the standard version.	2002: The right side of the standard version flips out and you see a picture of the Cal Jam photo stage that Sabbath played on.
2002: This is what you see when you open the digipak version.	2002: Opening the digipak version shows a much larger Cal Jam photo (includes all the audience, too). Behind the four panels are (L-R): the booklet, CD1, CD2, & the poster. The guitar pick is in panel four (which you can see in the big picture)	2002: Shown here are the booklet and the guitar pick from the digipak version. The booklet is the same that comes in the standard version.
2002: This is the poster that comes in the digipak version. It would need to be flattened out pretty well, as it’s all folded up inside here, but it’s a nice poster.	2010: This is what you see when you open the digipak.	2010: This is what you see when you fully open the packaging. The booklet is behind Bill Ward’s head.
