OZZY OSBOURNE – US Festival ’83 The Complete Soundboard [Japan numbered CD remastered] (2019) *HQ*

This is a wonderful post: the great OZZY OSBOURNE show at the legendary 1983 US Festival. This is the “US Festival ’83 The Complete Soundboard” CD released by excellent Japanese bootleg label Zodiac, featuring the complete set-list remastered.
There has been many bootlegs from this show from varied sources: Audience, FM broadcast, and Audience mixed with the FM broadcast. But this is taken from the actual soundboard, and sound quality is great!
The 1983 edition of the US Festival, celebrated in the memorial weekend on May 28, 29 & 30, consisted of a pop-rock day, a heavy metal day, and a new wave day. The second day changed the musical landscape forever: 1983-05-29 was the historic day heavy metal killed new wave! It was the starting point of metal / hard rock mainstream dominance, cementing the transition of heavy metal dominating the festival circuit.
OZZY OSBOURNE and his band were not the main attraction of the day, but this show established Ozzy as a powerhouse solo headliner, and the beginning of his stardom in America, and world-wide.
It was a trial by fire too: the debut of guitarist Jake E. Lee, under immense pressure to fill the shoes of the late Randy Rhoads. But Lee, and the awesome band consisting of Bob Daisley, Tommy Aldridge, and Don Airey delivered a sharp, well-received performance.
Blasted through solo staples like “Crazy Train”, “Over the Mountain”, “Flying High Again”, Mr. Crowley” and Black Sabbath classics (Bark At The Moon was not released yet), this show rock hard!
“OZZY OSBOURNE – US Festival ’83 The Complete Soundboard” is the best version you’ll hear of this historic performance…

OZZY OSBOURNE – Diary Of A Madman (40th Anniversary Expanded Edition) (2021)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer OZZY OSBOURNE continues with the Anniversary Digital Reissue Series of his catalog. Now it’s time for ”Diary Of A Madman (40th Anniversary Expanded Edition”, including as bonus live versions of his Mainstream Rock Top Five hit ‘Flying High Again’ and ‘Believer’, both previously unavailable digitally.
Originally released November 7, 1981, OZZY’s second studio release ‘Diary Of A Madman’ is the last album to feature 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Famer guitarist Randy Rhoads, and went multi-platinum with five million albums sold worldwide.
Yeah, you already have ‘Diary Of A Madman’ in one format or another into your collection. However, this ”Diary Of A Madman (40th Anniversary Expanded Edition” seems to have been ‘remastered for iPod’ / optimized for digital players.
So if you aren’t into physical formats anymore, you should listen to this 2021 digital-only version. It really sounds punchy, and not as the same from a CD-rip.

BLACK SABBATH – Technical Ecstasy [Super Deluxe Edition] (2021)

As part of the current BLACK SABBATH discography reissues their seventh studio album, ”Technical Ecstasy”, is getting its Super Deluxe Edition box set.
The reissue comes as 4-CD and 5-LP, offering a newly remastered version of the original album, along with a brand new Steven Wilson stereo mix. SW’s remix doesn’t include the Bill Ward penned-and-sung ‘It’s Alright’, which is included in its original single mono mix. One presumes they couldn’t locate the multi-track from this song.
The third disc in the box offers unheard outtakes and alternate mixes (also remixed by Wilson) while the final CD provides 10 previously unreleased live tracks from concert recordings from the 1976-77 world tour.
Here, remastered, ”Technical Ecstasy” sounds even huger than ever. The Steven Wilson new mix is superb, there’s interesting never heard outtakes, and on the bonus Live World Tour 1976-77 disc, the power of Black Sabbath live is captured in all its steamrolling glory…

BLACK SABBATH – Vol. 4 (2021 Remaster)

Perhaps one of the most underrated BLACK SABBATH albums, “Vol. 4“, is getting a fresh remastering this 2021, and will be an expanded, deluxe edition including some unreleased material.
With this new sonic treatment, ”Vol. 4” gets a new, multi-dimensional sound.
On ”Vol 4”, there was a far wider scope to things than on the doomy Paranoid, or the bonged-out Master Of Reality. Songs like ‘Cornucopia’ and ‘Under The Sun’ boasted trademark bottom-end Iommi riffs, but elsewhere there were more twitchy, upbeat moments like the groovy ‘Supernaut’, epic opener ‘Wheels Of Confusion’, and even a piano ballad in ‘Changes’.
But there’s also a shine to everything on ”Vol 4”, an energy that makes ‘Tomorrow’s Dream’ and ‘Snowblind’ arrive far more swaggering and confident than previously. Then Sabbath had been good. Now, they seemed to say, we’re f@cking great, dudes.

OZZY OSBOURNE – Blizzard Of Ozz [40th Anniversary Expanded Deluxed Edition] (2020)

It’s been almost 40 years since the release of Black Sabbath frontman OZZY OSBOURNE‘s debut solo album ‘Blizzard Of Ozz‘ and the singer is celebrating that milestone by releasing a 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album on September 18, 2020, which will feature seven live tracks not previously available in digital format.
The new package includes Ozzy hits: “Crazy Train,” which will hit certified 5x platinum status to coincide with its September release date; the gold-certified (in four countries) “Mr. Crowley” (both of which feature Randy Rhoads on guitar); along with “Suicide Solution,” plus live versions of seven tracks that are currently unavailable digitally.
The record was ultimately certified 5x platinum and was ranked #9 on Rolling Stone‘s list of “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time” in the U.S.; platinum (or multi-platinum) in another 12 countries and gold in an additional 13 countries.
Easily one of the greatest singer-solo debut in Rock history.
A must have classic
