Black Sabbath announces deluxe reissues of first two Ronnie James Dio-era albums
The transition to a new lead singer took Black Sabbath to a different level, and reissues of the first two Dio-era albums are coming soon.
Upon replacing lead singer Ozzy Osbourne with Ronnie James Dio (then best-known as lead singer of Rainbow) in 1979, Black Sabbath entered a new era. The end result was some of the best work the band ever did, with the albums Heaven and Hell (1980) and Mob Rules (1981).
On Wednesday, it was announced that deluxe reissues of Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules will be released on March 5. Each will feature bonuses of rare or previously unreleased material, and will be available digitally, on CD and on vinyl.
