DIO Double Dose Of Donington Vinyl PD Single 1983 - 1987

Ronnie James Dio played Donington twice, once in 1983 and again in 1987, and both times he owned it completely. This limited edition picture disc collects both performances into a single 12 inch release that functions less as a record you casually spin and more as an artefact from the years when heavy metal was genuinely dangerous to people who thought music should be polite.

The picture disc format does what it's supposed to do, which is make the thing worth looking at even when it's not on the turntable. Dio's run through the eighties, from the Holy Diver period through to Dream Evil, represents some of the most unimpeachable heavy metal ever committed to tape, and Monsters of Rock was the arena where it made the most sense. If your shelves already have Rainbow and Black Sabbath vinyl on them, this sits alongside both without blinking. A limited edition pressing that's as much dark aesthetic object as it is music delivery system.
