Black Sabbath | Live Evil | 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition

Black Sabbath made an impressive comeback in 1980 and 1981 when Ronnie James Dio joined their ranks as their new lead singer for the platinum albums, Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules. On the 1982 Mob Rules U.S. tour, they decided to record shows to create the first official Black Sabbath live album. When Live Evil was released at the end of 1982, it represented an accurate and powerful memento of Black Sabbath Mk2. Although it was hailed by influential heavy metal magazine Kerrang! as "one of the greatest live albums of all time" in 1983, the band was never completely satisfied with the original mix.

Now they can present a new 40th anniversary mix of the entire album, remixed from the original analog multi tracks by longtime associate of the band, Wyn Davis. The Super Deluxe edition includes the new remix as well as the the original double album, newly remastered in 2022 by Andy Pearce. In addition to this, the package includes an impressive hardback book featuring a newly commissioned 12,000-word essay.
