Notes
  • The 1982 print of the CD version in the US had 2 CD's in 2 Jewel Cases. The extra space allowed for the inclusion of War Pigs from the viynl version, which is not on the Vertigo print.
  • The 1996 Castle Remaster of the CD is on a single disc, and does have all the tracks, but the in-between song banter of Ronnie is cut almost to zero, and Fluff is drastically cut off.
  • Ronnie James Dio is listed as Ronnie Dio on the credits.
  • Both Ronnie & Vinny are not listed as full members of the band. The band had already split up by this time.
  • Track 4 was later re-released on 2007's "The Dio Years" greatest hits album in a remastered form.
  • Geezer Butler has referred to this album a few times in interviews as "Live in the Studio Evil", a reference to a lot of the overdubs on it.
