It was released on 1 May 2007 in a limited edition of 5000, which sold out immediately. The songs "Country Girl" and "Slipping Away" make their debut on official live releases. The CD was released only as a digipak, featuring a mini reproduction of a tour programme. Although there is a UK tour progamme for the Mob Rules dates, the one included with this release is actually that for the January 1981 UK dates, which were part of the Heaven and Hell tour. The cover photo is also from the Heaven and Hell tour. Though the limited run of the album is no longer on sale, the 2010 two disc Deluxe Edition of Mob Rules includes the Live at Hammersmith Odeon on its second disc. The album was released on Rhino Handmade in a limited edition of 5,000 numbered copies, timed to coincide with the release of Black Sabbath: The Dio Years and with the world tour of Heaven & Hell. On 2 May 2007, Tony Iommi's official website posted a notice stating all 5,000 copies had sold out; apparently, the final copies sold on the 1 May 2007, the day of its release. |
