The best Dio studio album.
Hiya
I’m not sure the release date is right. It’s the one listed on the RIAA site (which isn’t always correct), but 2 July 1984 was a Monday, which would be an unusual day for an album to be released in the States.
In Britain, where I’m positive the album would have charted in its first week of release, it charted on Saturday 21 July, which means it would have been issued on Monday 16 July (in the UK, unlike the US, albums were issued on a Monday)
What do you think?
