Until recently, I've resisted buying modern albums on vinyl. But after acquiring the vast majority of my classic album want-list, it finally occurred to me that if I really liked an album, I wasn't going to listen to it that much if I didn't own it on vinyl since that's where I spend most of my listening time now.
I've always liked The Pretty Reckless, but this album is absolutely fantastic. And I am truly impressed with Taylor Momsen's lower register, not many women can hit notes as low as she can.
I just picked this up off my porch and haven't had a chance to open it yet. I almost put off purchasing this until next month, but since it's now sold out, I'm very glad I didn't wait!
Box Set description from Rhino: "Ronnie James Dio joined Black Sabbath for 1980’s platinum selling Heaven And Hell album. When Dio regrouped with Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice between 2007 and 2009 they did so under the name Heaven & Hell. They released the live albums Live at Radio City Music Hall in 2007 and Neon Knights Live at Wacken in 2009, plus their sole studio album The Devil You Know in 2009. These recordings are now collected together as Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009 on a 7LP box set, featuring the aforementioned live shows in their entirety. These were the last recordings made by Ronnie James Dio before he sadly passed away in 2010, and represent a fitting testament to the music he made with Black Sabbath, featuring tracks from Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and The Dio Years."
Eva Cassidy was such a fabulous voice. The first time I heard her was in my car on the radio while driving to work and I was instantly enamored. Fortunately the radio host said who it was after the set was over - they usually didn't.
As soon as I got to work, I looked her up and was instantly sad, but I treasure what we do have of her. This 4 LP pressing sounds absolutely amazing.
