3.0 Ozzy Album Discography

This discography comes from OZZY@AIRMAIL.NET Blizzard of Ozz album, 1980, Jet (England) Blizzard of Ozz album, 1981, Jet (US) The English pressing has a different back cover. From the information I have, it is difficult to tell if it actually took until 1981 to have the album released in the US. Also, it is not clear exactly what role CBS Records plays in the releasing and distribution. Randy Rhoads (ex-Quiet Riot) on guitar. Reissued with 22-bit remastering. Crazy Train 7" single, 1980, Jet Additional track is You Looking at Me Looking at You. May be promo-only. Crazy Train 7" single, 1980, Jet Jukebox version of the above single. Mr. Crowley 7" single, 1980, Jet Additional track is You Said It All (LIVE). Bonus 7" that came in the Japanese pressing of either Bark at the Moon or Speak of the Devil. Mr. Crowley Live EP 12" picture disc, 1980, Jet This disc contains the above two songs along with a live version of Suicide Solution. Additionally, this is available on black vinyl as a Canadian pressing; this pressing's cover has a color picture of Ozzy wearing his red "jump suit" with his arms extended. There is a third pressing, from the U.K., where the cover is a silver and black picture of Ozzy wearing his fringed shirt. Crazy Train 7" single, 1981, Jet / CBS Associated U.S. 7". Additional track is Steal Away (The Night). Crazy Train 7" single, 1981, CBS Associated KZEW 98FM / Sound Warehouse single. Probably promo, but not sure. Also has Troubleshooter by Judas Priest, It's All Right, It's OK by Hawks, and R.O.C.K. by Garland Jeffreys. Diary of a Madman [Image] album, 1981, Jet Reissued with 22-bit remastering.

Tonight 7" single, 1981, Jet / CBS Associated White label promo for this track. Talk of the Devil double album, 1982, Jet (England and possibly all non US) See below for details on this piece. Speak of the Devil double album, 1982, Jet (US) This is a live album. Randy Rhoads died in a plane crash on the Diary of a Madman tour (March 1982). Brad Gillis took an extended leave from Night Ranger to fill in. The album is all Black Sabbath material. It was supposed to be a live album from the Diary tour, but after Randy's death, Ozzy felt he would be exploiting Randy's name by releasing the album. This was to fulfill his contact for a live album. I believe the album was eventually released as Tribute (see below). In order to have the entire album fit on one CD, CBS left off Sweet Leaf on the US CD (possibly world wide). In 1991, Castle Communications re-released the CD under its European (and possibly Japanese) name (Talk of the Devil) and added Sweet Leaf. Reissued with 22-bit remastering. The US remaster has restored Sweet Leaf. Symptom of the Universe 12" single, 1982, Jet Additional tracks are Iron Man / Children of the Grave, both from Talk of the Devil. Not available in the US.

Mrs. J., An Interview with Ozzy 5/13/92 Mrs. J. is an acoustic piece by Zakk Wyld. All songs are basically the same as the released versions, just mixed differently with some different harmonies and solos. The exception to this is Won't Be Coming Home. This song eventually became S.I.N., but in this form the lyrics make it a really different song (in my opinion). The back of the CD has a painting by Ozzy.

3.2 Song Definitons

OLD LA TONIGHT : Written around the time of the LA riots, the song is about Los Angeles. BACK ON EARTH : Death, and the spirit returning to Earth after you die. CRAZY TRAIN : Society and can we all get along. MIRACLE MAN : The hypocrisy of preacher Jimmy Swaggart who put Ozzy down but then fell from glory himself when caught with a prostitute. MY LITTLE MAN : A song Ozzy wrote for his son Jack, it sounds like it is a last goodbye to his son. KILLER OF GIANTS : A song about man and nuclear missiles and how, if we keep up this mad rush to have the bigger weapon, we will obliterate ourselves. PERRY MASON : Perry Mason defending a man accused of killing someone. The original idea had nothing to do with Perry Mason, it was just a title Ozzy wrote down. GOODBYE TO ROMANCE : Despite the misleading lyrics this is not about love. The lyrics are about Ozzy's days with Sabbath, now dead and gone, and was his way of saying goodbye to them. "Yesterday has been and gone, tomorrow will I find the sun or will it rain". You figure it out. CRAZY BABIES : Babies who are the result of crack cocaine mothers. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE : A song about death. Written after Sam Kinnison died in a traffic accident and Steve Marriott of Humble Pie died as well. I was also sent this e-mail from Norm O'Brien: ==================================== Oz: "I wrote that song for my wife. I absolutely adore my wife. The love that I have for her and the love she has for me will never die. I truly believe that if I pop off first or she goes then we'll meet up on the other side. I believe in life after death, which is strange because at one point I didn't believe in life after birth." Chortles Ozzy Heartily. Oz: "I believe in life after death because I'm getting closer to it now and I'm at the half way point now at least! It's like a message to Sharon because I love her" Sharons view of the song is a little different... Sharon: "Ozzy wrote that song when he was really ill earlier this year and he was being wrongly diagnosed," She recalls. "He was told that he had an illness that was really bad and we thought that that was it, that he was going to die. That's where it came from." ==================================== SUICIDE SOLUTION : The dangers of alcohol. ROAD TO NOWHERE : A retrospective look at Ozzy's life. SO TIRED : I absolutely love this song. A soft ballad and easy listener about a woman who is cheating on her lover and it is time for them to part. DEMON ALCOHOL : Basically the same as Suicide Solution. The dangers of drinking. BLOODBATH IN PARADISE : Charles Manson and his following, the Tate and LaBianca murders. YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT : People who put down Ozzy, take a look at yourself before judging others. BARK AT THE MOON : A creature scorned and buried alive. The creature comes back to seek revenge on those who buried him. MR. TINKERTRAIN : The problem of child molestation in our society. MR. CROWLEY : Ozzy had heard about Mr. Crowley and wanted to know what he was all about. The song is Ozzy asking Mr. Crowley who he is. NO BONE MOVIES : A song about pornography. FLYING HIGH AGAIN : A song about drugs. FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS : Written about skinheads who wear boots. This came after the Sabs were beaten up by skinheads.
