New DIO compilation - Page 3

Also, Sanitarium, the reason Hungry For Heaven as a single bugs me is because it appears on greatest hits albums as opposed to Rock & Roll Children. (As was the case on the Stand Up & Shout compilation) Shit, Rock & Roll Children has "single" qualities to it and that song is great!

In fact those are the only copies I were able to get.(which I bought at Best Buy). But I completely agree with the solo records. Those should have been remastered back in 1995.

And Dio's cover of Dream On is fucking amazing.

Were they? The copies I have on CD sure aren't remastered... I also have the Catch the Rainbow anthology from 2003, and it definitely isn't remastered either, which is just strange imo.

Yeah, I think his cover of "Welcome to My Nightmare" is pretty awesome too.

Both of them were on the Very Beast of Dio though. That one also had "Mystery." I was kinda surprised neither of those made it to Stand Up & Shout since they were singles and had videos.

Edit: I love that there's a dude credited on the Wiki page for Very Beast of Dio with only "triangle"

Mystery blows too. That's just Rainbow In The Dark lite. So happy that he chose to include Egypt instead.

I fully agree. I was just surprised since these compilations seem to like to focus on singles.

To answer the Rowan Robertson question from earlier, his new band is called DC4. Started three years ago or so and just today announced a record deal with Metal Blade for their album.

Ravenheart, this is just some random compliation and nothing important at all. So don't take it so seriously and move on

Love Is All is pre-Rainbow. It's from Roger Glover's Butterfly Ball.

The best way to hear it is the '99 version of Deep Purple's Concerto For Group And Orchestra. RJD sings 'Love Is All' and 'Sitting In A Dream', and duets the 'Smoke On The Water' finale with Gillan. Best version of 'Smoke On The Water' ever.
