Enter To Win Dio’s Donington ’83 & Donington ’87 Vinyl
Stereogum is giving away classic rock box sets from the Kinks, Joe Strummer, Motörhead, Dio, Duran Duran, and Keith Richards. Links will be shared in our weekly newsletter and social media on Fridays throughout the fall, and each sweeps will be open for one week.
This week’s giveaway is for vinyl of two legendary performances by Dio at the Donington Festival in the UK. Dio At Donington ’83 captures the original Dio lineup on the Holy Diver tour and captures a young, hungry band three months after the release of their debut album. And Dio At Donington ’87 captures the Dream Evil lineup, and features such classics as “The Last In Line,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children,” and “All The Fools Sailed Away.” Both limited-edition 2LPs feature a 3D/lenticular art print of the cover and an exclusive etching on Side D.
As the singer of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, and his own band, Ronnie James Dio is often considered to be one of rock’s all-time great vocalists, who sadly passed away in 2010, after battling stomach cancer. However, Dio’s music continues to connect with the masses – the official Ronnie James Dio Facebook page has over 2.5 million followers, his music on Spotify receives over 3 million monthly listeners, and in the most recent season of the hit Netflix series, Stranger Things, the popular character Eddie Munson sports a large “DIO” patch on the back of his beloved denim jacket.
