A Metal Legend’s Legacy: Ronnie James Dio’s ‘Mightier Than The Sword’ SHM-CD (UICY-10023/4)
Let’s celebrate the life and legacy of one of heavy metal’s greatest voices: Ronnie James Dio. Today’s entry focuses on the definitive career-spanning anthology, “The Ronnie James Dio Story: Mightier Than The Sword.” This specific release is the 2012 Japanese pressing, issued on Universal UMC with the catalog number UICY-10023/4. This copy comes complete with its original obi strip.
This 2-disc set is a comprehensive journey through the singer’s legendary career. Spanning 27 tracks, it chronologically traces his path from the blues-rock of Elf to his pioneering work with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, his genre-defining stint with Black Sabbath, his successful solo career as Dio, and finally his return to Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler in Heaven & Hell.
What makes this specific release essential for audiophiles and collectors is the format. It is pressed on SHM-CD (Super High Material CD). This Japanese-exclusive format uses higher quality polycarbonate plastic to improve transparency and laser reading accuracy, offering superior audio fidelity playable on any standard CD player. Coupled with remastering by Andy Pearce, this collection offers a pristine listening experience of metal anthems like “Stargazer,” “Heaven And Hell,” “Holy Diver,” and “Neon Knights.”
UICY-10023/4 is more than just a greatest hits album; it is a high-fidelity tribute to a metal icon, packaged with the high quality expected of Japanese releases.
