Format:Audio CD
This is an excellent (and cheap) compilation of the best of Dio between 1983-1993. Having been involved in two of the greatest metal albums EVER (Rainbow`s "Rising" and Black Sabbath`s "Heaven and Hell"), Ronnie James Dio delivered the goods and came up with a third with his own band`s "Holy diver". It`s a phenomenal LP and it`s no surprise that the first five songs on this CD are pulled from that most majestic collection. The rest of this is an excercise in diminishing returns. While it would be very, very wrong to ever say that these songs are bad, there is a great similarity in sound and style that runs right through the whole CD, which lifts songs from six different records. However, some of the later stuff is rather good, "King of rock n roll" and "Dream evil" spring to mind. It is good to have some rare live recordings here although "Sunset superman" appears on the tracklist but isn`t on the album. You can`t go wrong for this price, though. This is a good collection of metal classics, the kind they don`t make anymore.

Amazing and cheap! If your gonna start buying Dio albums then start with this kick ass compliation! Featuring a load of bloody amazing songs from Holy Diver, Last in Line, Sacred heart, Dream Evil, Lock up the wolves and Strange Highways. If you like Metal and rock and are looking for a god then Dio is what your looking for!

If you love the older-gen metal or are interested in what it does, in fact, sound like then this is a great starting or building upon point.
I've always had a problem with falling asleep halfway through albums as its so samey but this is an awesome variety of tones and tempos :-]
Highly recommended. Especially for the price!!

This CD arrived in good time and in good condition. This CD takes me back to some rare 1980s tracks.

Surprised me
I obviously knew Dio from his Black Sabbath works and listened to "Holy diver" and "Rainbow in the dark", but I thought they were just a couple of hits. Read more
