I love this record! In high school along with Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" and Judas Priest's "Screaming For Vengence" this record was played at just about every party. This is the first with Dio and along with "The Mob Rules" (the second with Dio) you get a great one, two punch of a group that was pretty well written off after their split with Ozzy. The SACD version of this Album is amazing. Probably one of my top three sounding Stereo SACD's. Great bottom without sacrificing any of the Mid's or highs. Perfectly balanced. This was a Martin Birch produced record who is easily one of the all time great metal producers! If you are a huge fan and you have the equipment, oh and you are willing to pay this insane price, this is a great purchase!
I have to start by saying I love both Ozzy and Ronnie as the lead singers. I have a few Ozzy era black sabbath SHM SACDs and jumped at the opportunity to get this release. I have to admit that I am happy with this selection. It's a great sounding release nice highs, mid range and a tight and crisp bass. This release does suffer a bit from what some might say a lack of punch but I don't find this to be a problem.
