Nice to see some love for Heaven and Hell. Whisper it but I always thought that and Mob Rules were Sabbath's best (along with the first one)

I actually managed to see the Mob Rules line-up as 'Heaven and Hell'. They were excellent.

Add Eat the Elephant as a more recent belter by A Perfect Circle. 

Could easily have the first 6 sabbath and Mob Rules, Maiden's first 3, Van Halen from 1 to 1984, Siouxsie up until Peep show, The Who until By Numbers, Floyd til the Wall and.... I'll stop for a bit.

The football crowd seen on the front is Derby fans at Chelsea.  Last minute addition from a photo taken a week or so before the albums release in November 1980.  In other album related Derby trivia Liam Gallagher is reading a paper in the photos from Definitely Maybe with the Leicester playoff victory on the back.
