The inside cover read as follows:
"March 19th 1982 is a day that will live with me forever. Not only did I lose my best friend but the greatest musician I had ever known. Randy Rhoads came into my life in 1979. At that time I was incredibly depressed, and he was what i had dreamed about in a guitar player. He helped make all of my dreams come true. Along the way we became buddies and business partners. Randy was a very special person, he inspired, cheered and made everyone in contact with him, feel good. Building the band with Randy was one of the happiest times of my life. What you are about to hear are the only live recordings of Randy and I, theye were recorded in late 1981. I have hesitated to release this album for many reasons, but now, Mrs Rhoads and I feel that this is the right time. I know his playing will continue to inspire you all.

This album is my Tribute to Randy Rhoads.

God Bless you Randy my friend

OZZY"

In 1993, Quiet Riot also made a tribute to Randy, "Quiet Riot, The Randy Rhoads Years."
