IOMMI/HUGHES: 'DEP Sessions' Audio Samples Posted Online

September 20, 2004

Sanctuary Records has uploaded an e-card for the previously unreleased Tony Iommi collection of songs featuring ex-DEEP PURPLE/BLACK SABBATH singer Glenn Hughes. Entitled "The 1996 DEP Sessions", the CD's final version — due on September 28 — was previously said to be "quite markedly different" to the version currently on the underground market under the title "Eighth Star".

Commented Joe Siegler, webmaster of the BLACK SABBATH fan site Black-Sabbath.com, "From what I've listened to, the songs that appear on the 'Eighth Star' version of the album haven't changed much at all on this new version. The only song that appears on 'DEP Sessions' slightly differenly is the song 'Don't You Tell Me'. The main guitar riff is not as pronounced as it was on the old version. However, the riff does appear in the song 'Black Oblivion' on Tony's 'Iommi' album from 2000, so I'm pretty sure that's why Tony modified it for its appearance on the 'DEP Sessions' album. Additionally, the song 'Gone' appeared on Glenn Hughes' 2000 album 'The Return of Crystal Karma'."

"The 1996 DEP Sessions" track listing:

01. Gone
02. From Another World
03. Don't You Tell Me
04. Don't Drag the River
05. Fine
06. Time Is the Healer
07. I'm Not the Same Man
08. It Falls Through Me
