I'm curious, is anyone is going to switch the track order on Ray's EI to be the same track order as TM's EI or just going to listen as it is. I'm going to do the first option to feel consistent with both track listings.

I ordered Eternal Idol and Mob Rules just now to replace my previous CDs. Seventh Star I already got years ago from Best Buy. And previously said, got the bootleg of the second disc (Ray Gillen live show).Last edited by 8bit Fighter; 09-23-2010, 06:26 PM."Even with so much bad blood between us... It's funny...

This is fantastic news for every Sabbath fan, regardless if you are a fan of this era of the band's history or not. It singles a new found willingness on Tony's part to authorize (or not oppose) official releases of outtakes and other archival material. Let's hope we get more of these kind of releases.
I will definitely be buying both releases and hope many do. The best way of insuring other albums get similar treatment is by supporting those efforts with my wallet.

Outstanding.
I got the CD of The Eternal Idol when it was still in print domestically but my copy of Seventh Star is the Castle remaster (UK pressing).
My copy of Born Again is German. I don't think it was ever released here in the US on CD.
I don't have any of the bootlegs (Born Again masters), even though I've looked for them on Evilbay and elsewhere.
I've wanted to hear the originals of EI not only because of wanting to hear Ray Gillen sing those songs, but also because Bob Daisley has said that the original mix had his bass more prominent than the finished album.
I really doubt that Tony Iommi is going to allow any of the tapes with Jeff Fenholt to be officially released, given that he's tried so hard over the years to distance himself from Fenholt.He is not here. He has risen!

Black Sabbath Releasing Deluxe Editions Of Mid-80s Albums (with Ray Gillens Vocals!!)
(RTTNews) - Black Sabbath will release deluxe editions of two of their mid-80s albums this fall, according to the band's official website.
1986's Seventh Star and 1987's Eternal Idol will be re-released as deluxe discs in the U.K. on October 25. Though the records only feature one original member of the band, guitarist Tony Iommi, they have a significant cult following.
Ray Gillen performed lead vocals with the group in the time leading up to Eternal Idol, but fled the band in favor of Badlands before the record could be released. Tony Martin was eventually brought in to re-record all the vocal tracks for the record.
The new edition of Eternal Idol will feature a second disc with Gillen's original vocal tracks.
The re-release of Seventh Star will feature the original 1986 album remastered in its entirety, showcasing former Deep Purple singer Glenn Hughes. In addition to the remasters, Seventh Star will also be packaged with the U.S. remix of "No Stranger To Love." A second disc will feature a performance by the then-unknown Gillen singing lead at a June 1986 Sabbath show in London.
No American release date has been set for either album yet.
