Black Sabbath have announced details of the long-awaited box set celebrating Tony Martin's double stint as their singer. Martin joined the band in 1987 and recorded three albums with the band – The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross and Tyr – before Ronnie James Dio returned for 1992's Dehumanizer. Martin then rejoined Tony Iommi & Co. for a second bite at the Black Sabbath cherry, recording Cross Purposes in 1994 and Forbidden the following year.
Black Sabbath: Anno Domini 1989-1995 doesn't include The Eternal Idol, presumably due to licensing issues (it came out on Vertigo, while I.R.S. released the others). The other four albums have been remastered, and Forbidden, which was originally produced by Body Count's Ice-T, is the beneficiary of a new mix from Tony Iommi.
