Dio, ELF – Dream Evil / Trying To Burn The Sun (CD, Compilation, Unofficial Release, 1999, CD-Maximum CDM 0799-290)

Why This CD Matters
This compilation pairs Dio's Dream Evil from 1987 with ELF's Trying To Burn The Sun from 1975, highlighting two distinct eras of Ronnie James Dio's career. The combination offers listeners both the polished heavy metal sound of Dio's solo years and the blues-based hard rock foundation that helped launch his career.

Collector Note
1999 Russian unofficial release on CD-Maximum, catalog number CDM 0799-290. While unofficial releases generally carry less collector value than authorized editions, the inclusion of two notable Ronnie James Dio albums on a single disc gives this release enduring appeal among fans.
