Black Sabbath / Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules get Deluxe Release in March

The legendary Ronnie James Dio joined Black Sabbath in 1979 and the resulting first two studio albums ‘Heaven And Hell’ And ‘The Mob Rules’ gained classic album status. These two albums will be released on 5 March 2021 as remastered deluxe editions.

Released in April 1980, ‘Heaven And Hell’ reached No.9 in the UK Album charts (No.28 US) and was certified platinum, while ‘Mob Rules’ was certified Gold after its release in October 1981.

Of special interest in the packages, is the entire performance from Live At Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, recorded on 22 April 1982.

Note that the double vinyl versions only contain a subset of the bonus material.

A rare live version of ‘Heaven And Hell’ and a previously unreleased live version of ‘The Mob Rules’ are both available today as digital singles from https://rhino.lnk.to/hahmr
