And Before Elf There Were

Collection of early recordings from Metal legend Ronnie James Dio. The Elves (AKA Elf) was a Rock/Honky Tonk/Blues band founded in 1967, in Cortland, New York by singer and bassist Ronnie James Dio with Doug Thaler, drummer Gary Driscoll, Micky Lee Soule and guitarists Nick Pantas and David "Rock" Feinstein (Dio's cousin). The band was originally called The Electric Elves, but was shortened to The Elves and finally Elf in the mid-1970s when they signed a major label deal.
