It has been known for a bit that Best Buy is having an exclusive version of the new album with a DVD containing about 25 minutes of video footage of the band in the studio. The same version is being sold outside of the US/North America in the same format. That’s not new. However, today […]

I noticed today that the Heaven & Hell incarnation of Black Sabbath has it’s own Youtube page now. They have six videos up there. One is the commercial promo for the new album that’s been floating around for a few days now. However, they have five other videos talking about the making of the album. […]

Well, there’s been a lot of talk about it, and finally there’s something that can be told. There will be a version of The Devil You Know with a second disc. A poorly kept secret, mind you, but one that hasn’t been formally announced in the US yet. Rhino doesn’t have a press release on […]

Given the albums cover from 1970-1987, this is the old European distribution stuff, the […]

I’ve gotten a lot of emails (nee complaints) from fans in Europe wanting to know what’s going on with distribution of “The Devil You Know”. Amazon UK’s site has had it for sale, but only as an import. I just got word less than 10 minutes before posting this that the deal for Europe has […]
