Ian Gillan said:
The idea came as Tony and I flew back from Yerevan together after being inspired by the enthusiasm of everyone there to get this thing done. It was brilliant working with Tony again after all these years; he makes life easy for a singer. The other guys need no introduction do they!?
Tony Iommi added
Some twenty years ago when the call came, I thought, well at least I’ve helped, but it was going to Armenia and seeing the actual devastation caused by the earthquake that really made me realise that funds were still needed. Despite all the money that was raised last time, here was a music school doing their best, forgotten, in basic tin sheds. After the warmth and honour bestowed upon us during our visit, we just had to help make a difference and get the school re-built. And what better way than to
hook up with some of rock’s greatest players and my old mate Ian, both an honour and a pleasure.
All proceeds from this release will go towards rebuilding a musical school in the town of Gyumri that was devastated in the 1988 earthquake.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing

April 6th, 2011 at 04:02I’m blown away : Superbbbbb !
April 6th, 2011 at 07:47Cheers and bottoms up.
the sound plays well!!
April 6th, 2011 at 08:00I am looking foward to get it! this is rock!
” Tony makes life easy for a singer.” (……)
April 6th, 2011 at 10:06The singing reminded me of Ians days with Gillan around 1980 btw.
Album, please????
April 6th, 2011 at 10:08Amaaaziing!!Release a whole album!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 10:09What a surprise. Great sound.
April 6th, 2011 at 10:16Incredible sound!
April 6th, 2011 at 11:42Odlicno!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 11:43I’ve just played it twice!
April 6th, 2011 at 11:49Can’t wait until May 6th.
Well done THS for bringing this to us.
Could that only be the sound of the new Purple album I would be a very happy man. Purple needs to go back and be a real rock group again. If not there is no reason for a new album.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:57Song looks promising definitely better song then last efford from Iommi with Dio. In Intro Metallica meets Sabbath and to hear Jon hammond always priceless.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:06Gillan is singing with good melody but his voice is a little without power.
I want the Hammond higher on the mix! and of course an entire album…
April 6th, 2011 at 12:11Holy Crap!!
April 6th, 2011 at 18:02I’ve heard. It sounds quite cool.
April 7th, 2011 at 09:17I hear the organ just fine, it has a very nice effect on Tony Iommi’s riffing, it takes the abrasive edge off without loosing the bite. Symphonic Sabbath, ha ha.
April 7th, 2011 at 18:54Deep Sabbath, fine with me : )
Iommi, Lord, Paice, Gillan & Glover
April 7th, 2011 at 21:58Be good to see an album…………..’Born Again II’?
April 8th, 2011 at 12:48I love it, Gillan & Iommi together again! Born Again has alway been one of my favorite BLACK SABBATH albums.
April 8th, 2011 at 14:10Release a whole album GREAT Today Iommi is the best guitar player at all
April 8th, 2011 at 14:42it could be fantastic they would make an album †

Will it be REMIX as well or just a “remaster”?
Maybe we should one another which remaster is the most crispiest, etc? : )
I supposse the Japanese are still the best?
April 11th, 2011 at 22:16the pennys dropped i been waiting for this for years that sounds vintge rock.gold
April 12th, 2011 at 08:15Only remaster of the album “Born Again” no remix and it sucks ! They couldn’t track down the original multi tracks,so it’s going to left for later on at some point(hopefully).Let’s hope that this remaster is better that the old ones.The second Cd has the a few live songs and that will be interesting to hear,since there’s no official release with I/G.I cannot wait to listen to an very underrated great album.
April 13th, 2011 at 23:23@24 hey buddy you can check Black Sabbath Online Home Page.You have all the updates about the old Sabbath catalog and the info and news about all teh remixes and remastering.Or maybe you know that already …but just to let you know.
April 13th, 2011 at 23:27peace out
Hi Al
Thanx
Unfortunately inbetween we have come to the conclusion that BA not will be what we are all begging for for decades now : (
I d like to change that horrible cover as well.
Looking at the backcover they must have enough material to use a good bandshot for the front, IMHO.
April 15th, 2011 at 11:47PURPLEPRIEST1965 “17”
April 16th, 2011 at 20:02You took the words out of my mounth 🙂
And now we all know that Gillan still can sing ROCK. The next Purple album MUST be on this level. I’m just no to sure about Morse and rock guitar.
So Deep Sabbeth as in “17” YES BIG BIG time!!!
agree we will plays onto rocks holy grail of titanic proportions. gillian & iommi shred for tenancies protantoms on this song , shit blackmore go rock ur castle dreams with ur pop tart wife candice while
April 16th, 2011 at 23:10we can enjoy some fluff lovin music from the masters.
Hi Bo
Thanx.
Thought it was a positive(idea).
In the past I used to feel Sabbath and Purple were too diifferent to be mixed up.
Ok, Born Again has “something” but always felt he should be in DP.
Nonetheless, Tony Iommi has gained more and more respect through the years with me.
He made so many splendid albums with Dio,Hughes and then several with Martin, it was clear that a fusion between Rainbow/DP personell and or IDEAS/styles wasnt that bad after all.
I like the different influences in DP through the years but, yes indeed, since Morse arrived they have “trouble” making new Heavy Rock classics.
And where they made good ones, they neglected it after some time.
Where is the Purpendicular Waltz
7th Heaven
Hey Cisco
And so on…..
So many years to use Strangeways live and extending it to old fashioned Space Trucking proportions also saddens me sometimes.
