Well, late last week I got the new 2021 CD versions of the Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules albums in. And this week I received the vinyl copies, so I decided to get some thoughts down as to these new releases, what’s on them, and whether it’s worth it to pick them up.

It would appear that one time (brief) Black Sabbath vocalist David Thomas Donato has died. This morning I was made aware of a news story about this – but it was in Portuguese. Wikpedia is also reporting that the date of Donato’s death was 2 Feb 2021, although I’m just finding out about it now.

While the majority of Geezer Butler’s musical output has had the label “Black Sabbath” on it, not all of it was. Over the years, he’s put out three “solo” albums. Also over the years, the three of them have gone out of print. Well, no more, all three of them are being re-released this fall.

RIP Martin Birch

We lost Martin Birch today. I haven’t seen why, but it’s a massive blow. The complete list of albums he was either producer or engineer on is astoundingly spectacular. With Black Sabbath, he produced the first two Dio era albums, “Heaven And Hell”, and “Mob Rules”. He was there for the creation of my onramp […]
