BLACK SABBATH Mob Rules Vinyl (LP) RSD 2021

The Dio-era Sabbath debate has been running since 1980 and it's not stopping here. Heaven and Hell was the entry point, but Mob Rules is where that lineup found its stride, darker and more aggressive, with Dio pushing his voice into places even he rarely revisited.

Originally released in 1981, Mob Rules marks the peak of the Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice configuration, and this 40th Anniversary pressing for Record Store Day 2021 is the version it deserved. Newly remastered audio on a limited edition picture disc, the kind of release that doesn't sit in crates for long. If you've ever argued about whether The Sign of the Southern Cross goes harder than Children of the Sea, you already know you need this.

Format: 12" picture disc LP. Limited edition RSD Drops 2021 release. Newly remastered audio. Quantities are what they are.

Fans of: Heaven and Hell-era Sabbath, Rainbow, Dio, Ozzy-era deep cuts.
