A deluxe edition of Dio's 1987 album, "Dream Evil", will be released on March 4.
Dio's fourth album features former Rough Cutt members Craig Goldy and Claude Schnell, and includes the singles "All The Fools Sailed Away" and "I Could Have Been a Dreamer".
"Dream Evil" was Dio's last album to feature drummer Vinny Appice.
This new 2-CD deluxe edition comes with a bonus disc containing other tracks, as well as songs from the band's triumphant gig at 1987’s Monsters Of Rock festival. It also features an expanded booklet with notes by Malcolm Dome.
When Ronnie James Dio finally succumbed to stomach cancer in May 2010, the world of hard rock and heavy metal lost one of its most talented and fervent ambassadors. As lead vocalist to such rock giants as Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Heaven And Hell, as well as fronting his own eponymous band for nearly three decades, Dio created some of the genre’s most defining and respected works.
