Earlier this evening, the alleged track listing for “Black Sabbath: The Dio years” popped up on the net. I am now attempting to confirm the validity of said track list. Until I get formal confirmation from the band, consider this a rumour:
It’s been posted on iommi.com – that’s about as official as it can get. This is then the track listing for “Black Sabbath: The Dio Years”, due to be released on April 3rd, less than 8 weeks away.
- Neon Knights
- Lady Evil
- Heaven And Hell
- Die Young
- Lonely Is The Word
- The Mob Rules
- Turn Up The Night
- Voodoo
- Falling Off The Edge Of The World
- After All (The Dead)
- TV Crimes
- I
- Children Of The Sea – Live
- The Devil Cried*
- Shadow Of The Wind*
- Ear In The Wall*
* – Newly recorded track for this disc
If you break that down, it’s six songs from Heaven & Hell, four songs from Mob Rules, three from Dehumanizer, one from Live Evil, and the three new tracks. That’s 16 songs, a couple of which (Falling off and Heaven & Hell) are not 3-4 minute songs, either. Here’s the length of these songs in my copies of them in iTunes….
- Neon Knights 3:53
- Lady Evil 4:26
- Heaven And Hell 6:59
- Die Young 4:45
- Lonely Is The Word 5:50
- The Mob Rules 3:15
- Turn Up The Night 3:42
- Voodoo 4:32
- Falling Off The Edge Of The World 5:03
- After All (The Dead) 5:41
- TV Crimes 4:02
- I 5:13
- Children Of The Sea – Live 6:04
We do not know the length of the three new songs. So even without the new songs, I put the total time for the music at 63:25. If you assume a CD holds 80 minutes of music, that leaves about 16:30 for the three new songs. It’ll be a squeeze, but it looks like these songs can fit on here without any editing like was done with Iron Man on last year’s Greatest Hits 70-78 disc. We shall see.
