Being one of my all time favourite albums, I first purchased the album on CD and received the Sanctuary Midline remastered release from a local CD store. Won't say it was bad, but audio was too flat to the extent that it lacks the fierceness that the original recordings have (Reference: "The Dio Years" - Rhino release). Dissatisfied with the Sanctuary-Midline audio quality I placed a second order for the Deluxe edition by Vertigo (2 CD version with Hammersmith Live). The sounds quality on the Live (Disc 2) was great but the actual album (Disc 1) was worse than Sanctuary. I don't like to listen to any album with bass enhancements but Black Sabbath comes alive in this Rhino/WB remastered release. Highly recommended for people who care about audio quality. For music fans who like listening to flat frequency response the Sanctuary version is definitely the better choice.Read full review

This to me is one of the finest hard rock-metal cds of all time. This band did great on this recording. Everything sounds awesome,this was no rush job. Every song could be a hit song. The whole cd is great.
