J2112YYZ Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Dio's death was the most broken up I've ever been over a musician passing away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz44 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Loved this LP back in the day and thought it was a classic, but don't play it that much now. I could never understand the love for Light in the Black, which was just a 'plodder' as far as I was concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 After Heaven and Hell came out, I was a Dio Sabbath man. I went out and bought this within a week or so of getting Heaven and Hell. It's a masterpiece. And the catchy Starstruck doesn't get enough love, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm looking at my original issue vinyl right now.A truly epic album.Blackmore was God. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm not really into seventies music at the moment (new phase!), but this did sound so good today. I mean...it's a beautiful album. A bit like Boston or Foreigner, you can play it any time and still be thrilled! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Wow, i need to give this one a listen this week again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Great album, and the best lineup Blackmore ever had with Ronnie, Cozy Powell and Jimmy Bain As far as the cover, 1976 was quite a year for Ken Kelly .. He was living with his wife, in obscurity, in a one room apartment up until this point Two iconic covers within a month or so of each other http://ultimateclassicrock.com/files/2012/01/Destroyer.jpg Edited March 28, 2016 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
