Mine arrived on Monday. At first I thought the sound quality was bad. Whoa!! It's AWESOME!! The whole CD is Amazing and DIO never sounded so good. Rhino did an awesome job on this one.

The Hammersmith CD was available for pre-order the same day as the release of the Dio Years CD. Shame on you, if you missed out. It was available for 4 weeks before selling out. I bought 2 copies.
I saw Sabbath last night in San Antonio, here is a short review I wrote.
The San Antonio show was amazing!! Every performance by the band was flawless!! The amazing visuals, and strong set list, sent me to metal Heaven!!! Dio is the TRUE MASTER of Metal Vocalists!
I saw Jason McMaster from Dangerous Toys/Broken Teeth in the venue last night, and Ronnie schooled his ass!
My seats were the best in the house (Section 103 Dead Center in front of the soundboard) and worth every penny of the $66 ticket price!! Definitely the show of the YEAR!! Megadeth were great as well!!
Bring on the San Antonio torrents, and the official Heaven And Hell DVD/CD!!
Go see the 2007 Heaven and Hell tour!!
I plan to check out the fall U.S. leg if they come through Texas again.
Ozzy Who?

They say limited edition "hand numbered." Where's the hand numbering? I was curious and looked all over the damn thing and couldn't find it.

I managed to order it on May 1st. Didn't know you could preorder it. Since I don't generally buy CDs anymore, I will rip it and then put it on Ebay...

I really like this CD. The review my Martin Popoff over at bravewords.com is pretty spot on. The performance is bursting with energy, the band all sounds incredbile. I personally love the sound. It's quality through and through. Great packaging too. I purchased 2 copies. I may give one to my brother, or sell it on Ebay.

This is a much better representation of the band that I saw perform on the Mob Rules tour than the much flawed Live Evil record. Especially since it has Country Girl, which is one of the best Dio era Sabbath songs.
Only three complaints:
1. I wish it was in a jewel case, as digi-packaging sucks (too easily damaged).
2. Slipping Away sounds great, but the drum solo comes right where the guitar solo starts, and they don't finish the song following the drum solo, so you don't get Iommi's solo.
3. The booklet is just a reprint of the UK Tour Programme.
Otherwise, it is a spectacular live album. Definitely on par with the classic live albums of all-time (Strangers in the Night, Live and Dangerous, Unleased in the East, Live at Leeds, Live After Death, etc.)

There is some pissed off people from eBay right now!!!! All this week, they were a couple of these CD's on there...and they went for less than the Rhino price of $17.99. And now today...$50+!!!! HAHAHHAHAHHAH
That shit hit's a $100...and I'm selling mine!

To begin with, you probably don't own a copy of this disc.
Rhino list price was $19.98 (I know because I purchased 3 copies, but you can also go on the Handmade website and it still has the original list price posted).
No copies on eBay sold for less than $20. They have a function for members called "Search Completed" auctions, which will show the completed auctions for the past week, and since these discs weren't shipped to customers until Thursday of last week, there wouldn't have been any of these CDs up for auction prior to that time.
If you are going to bullshit, at least bullshit about something that can't be verified.

This is supposed to be the only pressing...ever. So either you're going to have to download it or fork out some cash. This one will be rare.

I bet the bar code on the back of your disc is 603497773527 maybe the side has Rhino's # of RHM2 07735
Any other questions there numnuts?
Oh, and if you go back in the Blabbermouth archives a couple days...you see where Rhino shipped their orders BEFORE May 1st and that is where they got the news of the DVD/CD from NY being released on Aug 28th. IF you actually had a copy, you would know that the advertisement came w/ the CD's
I rest my case....

Yo, Dummy, a person with a 2nd grade education is able to look at calendar and figure out that "Thursday of last Week" was April 26th, but apparently you are incapable of comprehending what your average 2nd grader can figure-out.
Let's see:
You don't know how much you paid for the CD you claim to have ordered directly from the Handmade website (you say $17.99 -- website says $19.98)
You claim people bought the CD off eBay prior to yesterday for less than $17.99 (yet, a search of eBay completed auctions since April 23rd shows the first of these CDs sold on April 30th for $42.95 and there have been 7 others sold to date. All selling for $39.99 to $49.99, and all but one sold as a "Buy-It-Now!")
And then, apparently you think that "Thursday of last week" was May 1st. Either that, or again, your below-2nd grade comprehension ability doesn't allow you to process such a complex statement as "these discs weren't shipped to customers until Thursday of last week"
Oh, and while I'm at it. Your product information can easily be obtained by viewing pictures on eBay or looking at your smarter friend's copy of the CD. So, simply put, I'm not impressed by your information.
Rest it all you want, but your case is empty!
ironmaiden316 = MAJOR FUCKING IDIOT!!!

Why I even bother replying does make me an idiot.
You know there is no way I could've pulled those #'s off unless they were in hand.
I'm just amazed you want to sit here and bitch, when you *supposedly* have one of the best live CD's anybody has heard??? But alas, to quote Dio in the middle of the song Heaven and hell..."Piss off"

I knew it was going to be a rarity. I have 25 sitting in a box, and 1 more for my play copy. I'll bury these away for about 3 months, then check em out on Ebay. I'll be listing these at 100.00 a piece. Awesome CD btw. bow_down_kneel@yahoo.com
