Dio

Rhino expands Holy Diver, the first album from the band Dio, in time for what would have been late frontman Ronnie James Dio's 80th birthday.  The upcoming Super Deluxe Edition is built around two versions of Holy Diver.  CD 1 presents a brand-new 2022 mix of the album made utilizing the original multitracks by Joe Barresi, while CD 2 features a remastered version of the original 1983 mix.  Two discs of bonus material round out the package.  CD 3, Live at Selland Arena, Fresno, CA, 1983, offers previously unreleased live versions of much of Holy Diver; CD 4 offers 10 additional tracks including Joe Barresi's remixes of session alternates as well as the 1983 B-side "Evil Eyes" and the original mono and stereo single edits of "Rainbow in the Dark."

Also on July 8, Rhino will release the new mix of Holy Diver as a 180-gram 2-LP vinyl set; this version features one bonus track, the 1983 recording of "Evil Eyes."  Side Four has an etching of the demon known to Dio fans as Murray.
