As you probably remember, in May of 2007, Rhino records released a rather limited edition live album by Black Sabbath called “Live at Hammersmith“. There were only 5,000 copies sold in all, and each one was individually numbered. I’ve been compiling a list of owners of the thing on my site, and as of right […]

January 30, 2009 by
Remember those tour dates I posted earlier this month for the 2009 tour? Forget it. They’re not real – or at least are not accurate. I just got word from Heaven & Hell management that the list of dates that have been posted for Heaven & Hell in 2009 are not completely accurate. A proper […]
