Geezer Butler

Released in late October 1995, Ozzmosis entered the US charts at Number 4, the UK charts at Number 22, and was acclaimed as his strongest album in a decade by the press. Ozzy himself seemed equally pleased with the album, claiming that "It's been like a three year pregnancy which cost a f***** fortune to make!"…

STUNNING 1980 DIO ERA BROADCAST FROM JAPAN Following Ozzy Osbourne being sacked from Black Sabbath in 1979, after the band’s Never Say Die tour, Ronnie James Dio, formerly of the band Elf, was asked to replace him. Geezer Butler also, temporarily, left the band in September 1979 for personal reasons. The new line-up returned to Criteria Studios in November to begin recording work, with Butler returning to the band in January 1980. Produced by Martin Birch, Heaven and Hell was released on 25 April 1980, to critical acclaim. The new record peaked at number nine in the United Kingdom and number 28 in the U.S., their highest-charting release since Sabotage.

"Heaven and Hell" is the 9th studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, released on 25 April 1980. It is the 1st Black Sabbath album to feature vocalist Ronnie James Dio, who replaced original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne in 1979. Produced by Martin Birch, the album was a commercial success, particularly in the United States, where it reached #28 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified Platinum for 1 million sales. In the band's native country, it sold well enough to be certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry in April 1982.
