Live Evil captures Black Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio era at full volume, and this 40th anniversary box set spreads it across four CDs, pairing the remastered original with a brand-new mix.

Recorded on the 1982 Mob Rules tour, with shows in Seattle, Dallas and San Antonio feeding the album, it documents the lineup of Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice. The original release was famously fraught, with disagreements over the mixing contributing to Dio's exit before it came out. The new mix by Wyn Davis goes back to the original analogue tapes, giving the set a fresh perspective.

Neon Knights opens at a gallop, and Children of the Sea shows off Dio's dramatic phrasing over Iommi's heavy, brooding chords. Heaven and Hell becomes an epic centrepiece, stretched out with room to roam, while War Pigs takes on a new character in Dio's hands, his voice soaring over the familiar riff.

Iommi is in towering form throughout, and Butler and Appice lay down a thunderous, swinging foundation that suits both eras of the band.

For anyone who rates the Dio years as highly as the classic Ozzy records, this is the definitive way to hear them live, and a fitting tribute to Dio's extraordinary voice.
