I saw a Japanese release for these 2 albums. I saw it on a Rainbow fan site but was unable to copy and paste the contents. The release date is November 16th. They look great and hope they get released here.

Title updated to include the Holy Diver remaster. Pre-order details can be found a little further down the thread. -- Linda

All I could find was info on The Last In Line:

Dio’s second album, ‘The Last In Line’, is to be reissued as a remastered 2CD deluxe edition in Japan in November.

The album, which was originally released in 1984, followed the classic ‘Holy Diver’ and often lives in the shadow of that Dio classic. However, it is still considered a fan favourite and spawned the US and UK hits ‘Mystery’ and ‘We Rock’.

The new Japanese issue is to be issued in high fidelity SHM format and includes a whole disc of live material. A similar reissue for Dio’s third album, ‘Sacred Heart’ is also in the works. At the time of writing, there are no plans to issue either of the special editions outside Japan.

DIO – The Last In Line (Japanese Special Edition) – track listing:

01. We Rock
02. Last in Line
03. Breathless
04. I Speed at Night
05. One Night in the City
06. Evil Eyes
07. Mystery
08. Eat Your Heart Out
09. Egypt (The Chains Are On)

01. Stand Up And Shout (Live B-Side)
02. Straight Through The Heart (Live B-Side)
03. Eat Your Heart Out (Live)
04. Don’t Talk To Strangers (Live)
05. Holy Diver (Live B-Side)
06. Rainbow In The Dark (Live B-Side)
07. One Night In The City (Live Pinkpop Festival)
08. We Rock (Live Pinkpop Festival)
09. Holy Diver (Live Pinkpop Festival)
10. Stargazer (Live Pinkpop Festival)
11. Heaven And Hell (Live Pinkpop Festival)
12. Rainbow In The Dark (Live Pinkpop Festival)
13. Don’t Talk To Strangers (Live Pinkpop Festival)

As far as I know these will NOT be issued here and thus will be very expensive. Not sure why they didn't use the King Biscuit show from Philly in 1984 for the bonus cuts that was a great show and I still have it on cassette.
Supposedly a Holy Diver deluxe was in the works, not sure where that is. Also not sure why Dream Evil isn't part of this, but hey, it's cool and it's something. Just a shame it will be so expensive.

I saw on the CDJapan website the US$ is about $47 each...way too much. I don't understand why these would not be released here as well. I would love to have them.

The Holy Diver remaster wasn't even issued here, so these sure aren't going to be. Warners has no interest which is sad.

I have the Holy Diver remaster, the interview was a bummer...would have liked to have had live material instead. It is sad...so many fans would love to get these 2 albums.

So, basically more live stuff from the 2 EPs (although Intermission is more of a Mini-LP). Seems Intermission is missing the great studio track "Time To Burn". That is inexcusable if true even though that's the only cut with Craig Goldie on it from this era.
These really seem cool, so I'll have to see if my friend in Japan can hook me up (probably not, but I'll try). Again, why no Holy Diver or Dream Evil?

For me personally, I lost interest after Sacred Heart. I have Intermission on CD, but I would glady get these if released here. I'm also surprised Time to Burn is not included.

I doubt if these will be released in the US but would be shocked if there isn't a UK issue to go along with the Japanese issues.

It's crazy that Holy Diver isn't a part of this series. It might just be a case of a lack of good bonus material for a deluxe version. Even with the Rock Candy re-release, one would still think Holy Diver would be the most attractive of all Dio titles for a new version since most consider that to be the finest of the Dio catalog.

Agreed that Time To Burn is a nearly unforgivable omission. They must have wanted to keep this all-Vivian. If Dream Evil was a part of this series it would probably make more sense to include Time To Burn as a bonus track on that. I'm probably just hoping that reissues are in the work for Dream Evil and Strange Highways.

I'm still in on these, would prefer to get a UK version but if that doesn't happen I'm in for the Japanese releases. Dio and Iron Maiden were my two favorites during the high school days and The Last in Line and Sacred Heart are both essentials for me. Also looking forward to getting Hide in the Rainbow on CD...for the longest time I've kicked around the idea of getting the Diamonds release so I'd have a copy of this track on CD but just never got around to it. I still have a vinyl copy of The Dio EP but haven't had a working turntable in about 20 years. Just pulled it out and am looking at it right now...wow, the memories that Vivian-era Dio brings back.........

This is very strange. I heard from someone at Universal that Holy Diver (and others) were being worked on, and this was months & months ago. There was no mention of anything done only for the Japanese market.

My friend in Japan emailed me today and said these have been pushed back to March 7. The only deluxes are Last In Line and Sacred Heart.
I believe Holy Diver with the same UK interview bonus and Dream Evil are being done as well but only as single discs.

Amazon UK does have 2 CD reissues listed for The Last In Line and Sacred Heart scheduled for release on March 12. Obviously a much cheaper option than the Japanese versions. Looks like the price will only be $16-$17 for each title once the VAT is subtracted.

And Holy Diver as well:

I am very confused here. Don't know what the UK releases will be, especially regarding what Holy Diver is. If that's a 2 CD release that will be great, but so far, no track listing.
It's a no-brainer if these are the same as the Japanese releases to get them from the UK although they won't be SHM-CDs.

Woah, never even checked for Holy Diver as that was never on the schedule in Japan. Just checked CD Japan and they still don't have a 2 CD deluxe version listed for Holy Diver. I wonder if this is a mistake on Amazon UK's part or if all three are going to get a UK release?

I had pre-ordered Last In Line and Sacred Heart from Japan, but if it looks like the British versions will indeed happen I'll likely cancel my order and get them from the UK instead.

It's official-these are really happening baby! We can now change the heading to include Holy Diver and that these are all 2 CD remasters. Don't they all look beautiful down below? I believe these are all from Universal. No idea yet what the Holy Diver remaster will include, but probably the radio show from San Jose that was a King Biscuit gig, but maybe some rare demos/tracks? Probably not, but I am very in for all of these and will be selling my previous Holy Diver remaster ASAP.

Now, these are worth getting. As long as the second disc includes some great live material, I'm in.

I'm glad that Sacred Heart is getting remastered. The production on it is horrible.
