Dio Catalogue Info Coming Up from the Midnight Sea

It turns out the planned vintage live set coming from Dio was just the first of many planned catalogue titles to honor the late, great metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Rolling Stone reports a whole bunch of stuff is forthcoming from the newly-founded Niji Entertainment Group, a venture headed by Dio's widow, Wendy, who had been in the process of co-founding the label when her husband passed on.

Beyond the already-mentioned Dio at Donington U.K.: Live 1983 and 1987, Niji will oversee a 180-gram vinyl reissue of the seminal Holy Diver (1983) on November 23. And next year will hopefully see not one but two box sets: a 16-disc vinyl/CD set collating all of Dio's material (to be titled For the Record: The Complete Dio Collection) and a box of "authorized bootleg" live sets.

Read about all that (and more) here and hit the jump for the Dio at Donington U.K. track list.
