One of the most important albums in Black Sabbath's history turns 40 years old today, having been released on 25 Apr, 1980. That's "Heaven & Hell", the Sabs' first studio album with

. Was a total masterpiece, and proved they could survive - AND THRIVE - without Oz.

Whether it's Tony Iommi, Ritchie Blackmore, Vivian Campbell, David Feinstein or any of the other musicians Ronnie James Dio played with, you should spin something of his on this day.

Losing Martin Birch is massive. The work he's been involved in is epic as hell. Playing just ONE of his albums in memory seems insufficient.
Look up his list of albums he's either produced or been an engineer on. It's MASSIVE:
It is with a very heavy heart Iโve just had verified my very dear friend & producer Martin Birch has passed away...Martin was a huge part of my life...helping me from the first time we met through until Slide It In...Mt thoughts & prayers to his family, friends & fans...๐๐
