Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
Terrific albums.
To what extent I need the new versions, since i already own those plus Live Evil, is debatable.
So they take break up the 12/31/1981 and 1/2/1982 Hammersmith live material and put 4 tracks at the end of the Heaven and Hell release and then 4 tracks at on the Mob Rules Release?
I already have a couple versions of Heaven and Hell including the 2010 Deluxe. I'll probably buy the Mob Rules release for the 82 Portland show if nothing else.
yes not sure why they did that with the live hammersmith material. anyone know why its split like that?
Yawn. I just never thought the material going on in the Dio-fronted version of the band was in a class with the best stuff they did with Ozzy. And I saw them with Dio, twice. I was bored. Not saying they never did some decent stuff, not knocking anyone for liking that version of the band. I'm just saying it was not my cup of tea.
The first five records that Sabbath ever made (all with Ozzy of course) were Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Volume IV, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. That is an incredible body of Heavy Metal work and really that is the essence of Black Sabbath. Just my opinion though.
