Heaven And Hell Australian tour, November 1980

This very rare tour book was sold only on the four Australian shows in November 1980 in Sydney. The tour book looks very much like the US tour book but has a couple of extra pages. 24 pages, 23cm*30.5cm.

This one has a black & white Black Sabbath logo in a star on the front cover. 16 pages, 21*29.5cm.

Mob Rules US tour, November-December 1981

The front cover has a color live picture of the band and white "BLACK SABBATH" on top and "MOB RULES TOUR" on bottom. I believe they didn't have this tour program available on the first couple of shows. 20 pages, 23.5cm*35.5cm.

Mob Rules UK tour, December 1981-January 1982

The cover has Black Sabbath logo on a cross with a skeleton hand showing the evil eye sign. There is also a red text saying "MOB RULES" on the front cover. 24 pages, 24.5cm*33.5cm.

Mob Rules US tour, February-May and August 1982

This tour book has Mob Rules album cover with a red "WORLD TOUR" text. This apparently was licensed so that it was sold in record stores as well, not just on the tour. Most copies had shrink-wrap packing with blue/white circular sticker. 16 pages, 30.5cm*30.5cm.
