Positively classic beautiful genius from beginning to end.
Ronnie's voice sounds so amazing on Heaven and Hell and Children of the Sea.
It's like they were somewhat normal guys on this album. The tone was not maximum dark sounding. It is positively a classic rock album for the ages.
Much more melody here than in the newer heavy stuff.
Mob Rules in comparison can be seen as an equally fantastic sister album.
I could not rave enough about this album.  |

I love the album, but "Mob Rules" is my fave - I think it's down to the order in which I heard the albums, pretty sure I heard "MR" first.
That's not to take anything away from "Heaven & Hell", it's got some incredible songs on it. "Die Young" is superb, Tony's soloing on that track is amazing.
The title track, "Children of the Sea" and "Neon Knights" are my other picks from this one.

Great album and with Ronnie`s prescence who basically could take on any band and singer and come out on top. Can`t think of many who had the ability to this, prefer Mob Rules though! PowerKnight

Don't think so, mine doesn't contain any. And I was unaware of any inclusion of videos on the deluxe editions. I'm glad I picked it up though, great hearing Bill playing some of the songs live.

| Hmm, I have seen on several web-shops mentoning the inclusion of the 2 music videos of Die Young and Neon Knights, its even mentioned in this article by Joe Siegler: http://www.black-sabbath.com/news/2010/02/ |

Well no video has been released on the DE's. It may be talking about the audio for the music videos. They've done that before.
Edit: Yeah, that's what it is, audio only.
