3.0 out of 5 stars Great for remasters, rubbish for rarities..., 31 Jul 2008
By Mr. Thomas Birch "talaandthomas" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This five disc set contains all four original Black Sabbath albums with Ronnie James Dio as vocalist - "Heaven and Hell", "Mob Rules", "Live Evil" and "Dehumanizer". All are remastered with improved artwork and new sleeve-notes which certainly are revealing - who knew Sabbath had barbecues where Ronnie cooked up his pasta and meatballs for them all?

The albums themselves are all good, with the first two, 1980's "Heaven and Hell" and 1981's "Mob Rules" being the real classics. However, 1982's "Live Evil", which has always suffered from a rather flat mix, benefits greatly from the remastering. It has also been spread across two discs, so you get the entire, unabridged album (the 1996 Castle Records edition chopped out almost all between-song banter and most of the song "Fluff" to squeeze it onto one CD). 1992's "Dehumanizer" comes in the American edition, which means you get a bonus track - the "Wayne's World" version of the song "Time Machine".

Unfortunately, the "Wayne's World" song is the only rarity on the entire set, a state of affairs which certainly doesn't call for "party time" and is far from "excellent", as the hapless heroes of said movie might say. What's even more galling is that the sleeve notes to "Mob Rules" keep telling you how much better the demo version of the album's title track (recorded for the soundtrack to the film "Heavy Metal") is than the version you've just purchased! Also, Rhino released a superb live album by the Dio-led Sabbath - "Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1981-82" - last year through their limited-edition Handmade label. Putting a copy of this in the box wasn't too much to ask, was it? Well, yes - it evidently was.

Still, what is here has been remastered superbly and these are definitely the best versions of these records available. It'll probably make Ozzy Osbourne talk a lot of rubbish about how there's "only one Black Sabbath" and go out on another farewell tour. We can all stay at home and listen to this to prove him very, very wrong.
