BLACK SABBATH "Tokyo Heaven" [12" 2-LP, Purple Vinyl, Gatefold]
2023 - Heavy/Traditional, Doom from United Kingdom
Detailed Description
Black Sabbath's ninth studio album 'Heaven and Hell' was released in April 1980, to critical acclaim. The new record peaked at number nine in the UK and number 28 in the US, their highest-charting release since 'Sabotage'. The album eventually sold a million copies in the US, and Sabbath embarked on an extensive world tour, making their first live appearance with Dio in Germany on 17th April 1980. The band completed the world tour in February 1981 and returned to the studio to begin work on their next album, but among the very finest shows on the Heaven and Hell tour was Sabbath's performance at the Nakano Sunplaza, in Tokyo, on 18th November '80. A truly stunning event which was also recorded for live FM broadcast across Japan, the entire show is now finally released on vinyl for the very first time.
