BLACK SABBATH Mob Rules (2010 issue UK Deluxe Edition 25-track
digitally remastered 2-CD album set - Written mostly on the 'Heaven
And Hell' Tour and with Martin Birch again at the producer's helm,
'Mob Rules', like its predecessor, contains someof the tastiest,
hook-laden, riff-heavy Metal that Sabs fans, both old [and now many
new], could desire. Album opener, 'Turn Up The Night', like the title
track, is a relentless charge of foot pounding bass, trilling guitar lines
and a full-throated command that would become a classic Sabbath
rallying call. Shifting the mood into darker and far more broody
territory were tracks such as 'Voodoo' and 'The Sign Of The Southern
Cross' whilst Iommi's haunting instrumental, 'E5150' is an echo
chamber of unsettling subhuman cries that could accompany perfectly
any reading of Lovecraftian verse. Bringing the album to a close, both
'Falling Of The Edge Of The World' and 'Over And Over' continue the
album's powerful charge-to-chug pace. This 2010 edition comprises a
11-track CD album including a live version of 'Die Young'
from the same tour and a rare demo version of the title track,
specifically written for the movie, 'Heavy Metal'; and comes expanded
with Bonus 14-track CD featuring a complete live concert
performance recorded at London's Hammersmith Odeon in December
1981 on The Mob Rules Tour. Presented in a superb illustrated
gatefold digipak picture sleeve complete with a 16-page booklet
containing extensive sleevenotes, many previously unseen
photographs and images of memorabilia! Housed in a custom deluxe
edition outer PVC slipcase)
