Yeah, i think Dio was removed because Blackmore didn't think they were commercial enough. Blackmore was after some top 40 exposure in America...hence we later got Stone Cold and Street of Dreams. Blackmore got exactly what he wanted done on those records which was try and cross into the mainstream. It wasn't because he didn't know what he was doing or was past his prime. If that were the case, Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers wouldn't have been as killer as it was.

Didn't it come out in '81 ? I can't remember exactly. What I rememeber, though, is that SUNPYG is indeed Life Changing. As well as a majority of FZ albums.
Oh, and didn't the Gay City Rollers sing Shang-a-lang, or something ?Comment

Good lord!
I thought I had purged all memory of that horrid piece of shit from my brain.
There were few songs in the 80's that I truly despised. Many that I thought were cheesy or lame or would otherwise not choose to listen to voluntarily, but few that I really hated.
That one probably would take up the top 5 slots on that chartEat Us And Smile
