The early 1980s mark a dramatic change in the history of Black Sabbath - the begining of a new decade after what many saw as the death of the group following original lead singer OZZY OSBOURNE's leave. The loss of the iconic voice did not signal the end of the band however… Ozzy was replaced by former Rainbow vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO. The following output of HEAVEN AND HELL became one of BLACK SABBATH's best-selling albums and resultant album releases over the next few years - MOB RULES and LIVE EVIL - proved without question, that this match was one without peer and succeeded in carrying the name of BLACK SABBATH proudly into a new era!
- 1981's “Mob Rules” featured the lineup of Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinnie Appice. The expanded Deluxe Edition features a bonus disc of live material.
