UK 1ST PRESS WITH 'COPYRIGHT CONTOL' ON THE LABELS !!!!
THIS IS THE AMAZING FIRST DEBUT ALBUM FROM RONNIE JAMES DIO, AND SHORTENED TO JUST 'DIO'. THIS METAL CLASSIC WAS RELEASED IN MAY 1983 AFTER HIS FIRST SESSION AS BLACK SABBATHS VOCALIST. HE ALSO TOOK BLACK SABBATH'S DRUMMER, 'VINNY APPICE', TO START HIS OWN BAND, AND ALSO TOOK FORMER 'RAINBOW' BANDMATE SCOTTISH BASS PLAYER, 'JIMMY BAIN, AND TO FINISH OFF THE LINE UP HE ENROLLED NORTHERN IRISH GUITARIST, 'VIVIAN CAMPBELL' FROM BRITISH HEAVY METAL BAND, 'SWEET SAVAGE'. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT A BRILLIANT LINE UP, AND TRULY AN AWESOME ALBUM THAT PLAYS FAULTLESS AND COMES FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
