Released in September 1976 to mixed reviews, Technical Ecstasy was a commercial success, and backed with a tour that saw the band supported by AC/DC.
The fractious tour saw singer Ozzy Osbourne at one point leave the band to be replaced by Savoy Brown’s Dave Walker. Osbourne would return for 1978’s Never Say Die, but was afterwards replaced permanently by Ronnie James Dio.
The ‘Super Deluxe’ version of Technical Ecstasy is the latest in a series of reissues from the metal legends. Earlier this year, they put out a reissue of their fourth album Vol. 4 containing 20 previously unreleased tracks.
