Black Sabbath Mob Rules on 180g LP from Rhino 

Turn Up the Night: 1981 Set Is Band's Second Ronnie James Dio-Fronted Classic

Punchy Production, Superb Songwriting Distinguish Beloved Metal Release

Those that don't think that Black Sabbath fared well without Ozzy Osbourne clearly haven't heard Mob Rules. Originally released in 1981, the record is the first Sabbath release to feature drummer Vinny Appice, who replaced Bill Ward. Filled with vocalist Ronnie James Dio's Dungeons and Dragons imagery, full-range singing, and linear approach, Mob Rules takes its place as a classic record, filled with gems that include the title track, “Falling Off The Edge Of The World,” “Turn Up The Night,” and “The Sign Of The Southern Cross.”

Heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath were reborn in 1980 when founding members Tony Iommi and Terry “Geezer” Butler added lead vocalist and metal legend Dio to the lineup. The band's short-lived but unforgettable time together added a legendary chapter to Sabbath’s storied history, and rescued the group from a fall that began late into Ozzy Osborne's original tenure with the quartet.

Comepletely remastered, Rhino's analog edition of Mob Rules also includes in-depth liner notes and band interviews. With Dio's recent passing in 2010, this record takes on even greater importance.

A must for any rock and metal fan!
