"Made in UK in 2003, Serial# 077-043-2, Playing Time 75:23If you're thinking about buying this compilation because you spotted the track "Sunset Superman", SURPRISE !!! It's not there !!! Even though it's credited on the tray and on the backpage of the booklet, it's absent from this disc...But we are treated to a 17-track chronological journey into DIO's career, up to the 1993 "Strange Highways" album.There are already a few DIO compilations out there, but this one contains 2 live tracks recorded at Donington in 1983 ("Stand Up And Shout" and "Straight Through The Heart"), previously available on the "Rainbow In The Dark" 12-inch single but now making their CD debut (at least, to my knowledge).This CD is an economical way to get introduced to DIO's fantastic genre of metal, or to have 75 minutes of colourful listening through guitar-crunching, drum pounding, goosebumping vocals.In my opinion, worth every penny!"
