Posted in memory of the great singer Ronnie James Dio who lost his battle with cancer this morning. This scan is from the back cover of the Black Sabbath album Heaven and Hell (1980, Warner Brothers Records).
I first bought this album on cassette in around 1982. I will never forget stepping up to the counter of Plastic Fantastic Records in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania to pay for it. The cashier rang up my purchase. I bought just this one tape. He looked at the register, read off the price after sales tax, looked back down at the tape, and both of us had to pause for a moment. The total came to $6.66.
