Ozzy Osbourne - 123 (2004 Box Set) mp3 192 VBR

A great deal - IF you can find it October 4, 2003
It's the new millennium. Ozzy Osbourne has become unstable in recent years - and is re-recording and remixing his classic albums - and making these godawful mixes the READILY AVAILABLE editions of the albums! Fortunately, before production of the good ol' 1995 remasters stopped, the record company came up with a genius idea - a box set, containing three of Ozzy's classic albums - For the price of just two! YES, THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS! The cover art is a dead giveaway (these have the shrunken art with the color borders and OZZY written down the side.) Read on for a few comments on each album.
DIARY OF A MADMAN
This one got re-recorded in recent years. This is the last album to feature Randy Rhoads before his unfortunate plane crash that would send him to rock and roll heaven. The Ozzy classics Flying High Again and Over The Mountain are here for your listening pleasure. Plus, you get underrated gems like S.A.T.O., Little Dolls, and the title track. This is one of Ozzy's finest!
BARK AT THE MOON
This one got remixed in recent years. For this album, Ozzy recruited future Badlands guitarist Jake E. Lee. In addition, Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo, both later with Whitesnake, plays the drums and bass, respectively. This album does sound quite a bit different from the previous two (this is the one that began Ozzy's trend of keyboard usage.) The title track has become one of Ozzy's biggest hits - but the underrated gems like Centre Of Eternity and Waiting For Darkness are the main attraction. There are a few fillers, but for the most part, each track is enjoyable. This remaster features a bonus track - Spiders (In The Night.)
THE ULTIMATE SIN
Ozzy HATES this album, so it never got the "demastering" treatment. But now it's out of print in ALL forms! Shot In The Dark - one of Ozzy's biggest and best hits - is now HATED by its once proud creator - and now EVERYTHING BY OZZY THAT HAS THIS TRACK ON IT IS OUT OF PRINT! This album is NOT GLAM METAL, contrary to what people say - it's melodic hard rock. Tracks like Secret Loser, Never Know Why, and the epic Killer Of Giants make this an excellent album - even if some people disagree.
OVERALL
Since ALL of these albums are now out of print in favor of the demasters, GET THIS SET IF YOU FIND IT! These "good" versions of the album won't be around much longer, so get 'em while there's still time!

This album also features former Ratt and Rough Cutt guitarist Jake E. Lee. Bassist was Phil Soussan, who also wrote the album's US hit single "Shot in the Dark". This was the first Ozzy Osbourne album to feature drummer Randy Castillo, who has since died due to cancer. Lyrics were largely written by long-time Ozzy bass player Bob Daisley. Although it was Ozzy's highest charting studio album it was not a good long term seller. Both Soussan and Daisley have law suits pending for unpaid royalties on this and other albums. The 1995 remastered CD version of the album does not include any bonus tracks.
