Dio: Holy Diver - Audio Fidelity 24kt Gold - selling out fast!

Mine is #1372 Are they counting them down?

Numbered copies aren't shipped out in sequential order.

Learning something new everyday. I guess my time spent here is productive.

Got mine too! This is a beautiful piece of art for the Dio fan! On my surround this album has never ever sounded this good! I love it! Mine is number 1543

Hells yes! That is great news! I see it's slated for a mid-summer release. I will definitely snap this up.

Awesome. Last in Line is awesome. I hope it continues, while i don't like Sacred Heart i hope they will remaster Dream Evil as i think it is another great release from

I just listened to a little bit of this with headphones and it sounds even better.

Time to walk the streets of Jacksonville looking for folks who wanna have a little sexytime.

I hope my copy arrives by the end of the week, or some heads are gonna roll!

$23 at amazon is a bit steep.

Thats typical price for these releases. They only go up in value. I used to stay away from them but recently I picked up some Alice Cooper ones and then I got the Dio Holy Diver one. I don't think I'll pick up Last In Line, but who knows.

Once they go out of print these releases fetch big bucks, they sound great and are also a solid investment.

Holy Diver was $16 on Amazon for a long time. LiL is $24, kinda sucks coz I bought couple extra copies for X-mas gifts... oh well

I hope they will do Sacred Heart and Dream Evil too, then they can stop as far as I'm concerned

I love this forum! Thanks for not letting me miss out on LIL I just ordered mine on Amazon! I would have bought directly from Audio Fidelity but they are already Sold Out it looks like!

Got mine, #1040, and #1054

I wish they would pimp up the booklets for next releases. For a $24 a pop, I'd expect to have at least a brief story how the album was remastered, and some lyrics printed on it, etc...

Yes I agree they need to 'Stormspell' them up a little bit!

Do they sound that much better than the albums (vinyl) ?

I'll be getting the 2CD deluxe version soon...this and TLIL...

I don't have the albums so I can't do a side by side comparison, but I will say that there were things I heard in the Holy Diver remaster that I never noticed before in 25 years of listening to the record, so it definitely impressed me.

Thank you Shawn
