Four Dio albums from 1996 to 2004 getting reissued with bonus tracks
Great news for Dio fans as four of the band’s studio albums — Angry Machines (1996), Magica (2000), Killing The Dragon (2002) and Master of The Moon (2004) — will be getting reissued by BMG along with bonus tracks.
You can pre-order the reissued albums directly from the Ronnie James Dio website.
RollingStone‘s indicates in part (with slight edits):
“Beginning with 1996’s Angry Machines — including 2000’s Magica and 2002’s Killing The Dragon — and ending with 2004’s Master of The Moon, each release will feature remastered audio and a bonus disc of rare content.
In addition to CD re-releases, each will be available for the first time as standalone vinyl releases with lenticular covers; the Magica vinyl will include a seven-inch of “Electra,” which the band’s late frontman, Ronnie James Dio, had planned for the sequel Magica 2. Each of the reissues will 
be available via BMG on physical media and digitally on February 21st.
“I am very excited to be working with BMG, a label that still has a passion for rock music,” the singer’s widow, Wendy, said in a statement. “They will be making the complete Dio catalogue available again with some interesting surprises.”
The CD versions, which feature the bonus material, will come in “mediabook packaging.” The second disc for Angry Machines will include 12 tracks recorded on the tour for that album in 1997. Magica contains live recordings from the 2001 tour in support of that album, as well as “Electra” and an 18-minute, spoken-word recording called “Magica Story.”
Killing The Dragon includes five recordings from 2002 and 2003. And Master of The Moon features four live tracks, recorded in 2004 and 2005, and the previously unreleased studio track “Prisoner of Paradise.” All of the bonus material will be included in the digital releases.”
