Notes
  • Some fans refer to this release as "Black Box II", a reference to the Ozzy era studio album compilation in 2004.
  • Despite there being a new remastering work done for 2007's "The Dio Years", the tracks that appear here are an even newer remastering than the work done for the 2007 Dio Years package.  If you count the 2003 Dio compilation, "Stand Up and Shout", that makes three times in the last 5 years that the the following tracks have been remastered!   The tracks that appear on all three are: Neon Knights, Heaven & Hell, Turn up the Night, & The Mob Rules.
  • The following alternate tracks were not used in this box set.  The Mob Rules (Heavy Metal version), Letters from Earth (Alternate Version - From CD Single for TV Crimes).   The Mob Rules version from the Heavy Metal soundtrack was not on Warner/Rhino, so presumably it would have had to have been licensed.   When queried by me about it, a producer at Rhino said they didn't even know the Alternate Letters from Earth existed!  D'oh!
  • The name 'The Rules of Hell' was thought of by Geezer Butler. It is a reference to the inclusion of the first two Dio era Sabbath album names. Those being Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules. That is where the name comes from.
  • There was a "professional" review of the set posted here on IGN.com.
