Description

              Listen up kids! Long ago, in a land far, far away, killer good music RULED the Universe and Dio was KING! Just kidding (not really), but I got your attention right?
              Ok, this is serious. Holy Diver in record form is SO RARE & SCARCE, and this puppy is near mint! This was Dio's debut album, and when it hit in 1983, it hit hard! I remember banging my head and just falling in lust with this album! It was worshipped by my friends and I like the love slave of metal that it was! And still is! And the real kicker is it's like a virgin with NO UPC! Hoorah! Oh, the condition...o.k....The album would be mint if not for a little baby scratch on Shame on the Night, so Mint-, otherwise it has a high gloss sheen and is a cherry...the original sleeve is pretty much a double sided photo album of Dio & The Gang having really good times biting their guitars, eating chicken and basically just being COOL! Rating for the sleeve is Very Good++. The cover is beat up but thems the breaks! There's an ugly piece of scotch tape on the front right, but none of the artwork depicting an giant, evil Monster-Demon beating a chained up Catholic priest to death while he drowns is impeded! Yay!                Song List: Stand Up & Shout...Holy Diver...Gypsy...Caught In The Middle...Don't Talk To Strangers                                  Straight Through The Heart...Invisible...Rainbow In The Dark...Shame On The Night
               The Last In Line was Dio's second release in 1984 and just as bada** as their first! There is a little 1/4" scratch on The Last In Line, so I rate this a Mint-, otherwise it is a peach and shines like a baby's bottom! The original sleeve is MINTY FRESH and depicts the guys havin fun while jammin on one side, and has a freaking awesome pic of their fans wearing black leather studs and throwing the devil horns at the camera while at a concert on the other! The artwork on both of these albums' covers and sleeves is worth the price you will pay for these sweet little gems of Metal Mayhem alone!                 Song List: We Rock...The Last In Line...Breathless...I Speed At Night...One Night In The City                                   Evil Eyes...Mystery...Eat Your Heart Out...Egypt (The Chains Are On)
               I wish you kids had been around to see Dio and Vivian Campbell in concert, but if you weren't, then the next best thing you can do is buy my albums! Miss Metal always packages super carefully before shipping, and I always throw my dogs a treat with each purchase! So bid with confidence, and be sure to check out all of my other killer vintage vinyl like OZZY, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, AC/DC and more! I am clearing out the vault and you lucky kids are in the right place at the right time!
               ROCK ON & Peace! Out...
