Blizzard Of Ozz (2002) (RMST) (1 BONUS TRACK) Ozzy Osbourne
Album Description:
BLIZZARD OF OZZ is a heavy metal album by British singer/songwriter Ozzy Osbourne, recorded in Surrey, U.K. and released on September 20, 1980 in the U.K. and on March 27, 1981 in the U.S. BLIZZARD OF OZZ was a commercial success and was certified 4x Platinum in the U.S., (a feat Osbourne would again achieve with the release of NO MORE TEARS). BLIZZARD OF OZZ is one of very few albums to achieve such certification without the benefit of a Top 40 single. In the U.K., it was the first of four Osbourne albums to attain Silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in August 1981. This is Osbourne's first solo album and one of the two studio albums he recorded with guitarist Randy Rhoads before Rhoads' death in March 1982. The tracks "Crazy Train", and "Mr. Crowley" were released as singles. The former peaked at #9 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart and has remained a staple of pop, hard rock and classic rock radio for more than 25 years. BLIZZARD OF OZZ was re-released in 2002 with the original bass and drum tracks, recorded by Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake, respectively, removed and replaced by new recordings by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin.
