ozzy osbourne - just say ozzy

a little live e.p. to shorten the wait for the then up-coming full length album 'no more tears'. that was the idea behind this release from 1990. one of my favourite line-ups with zakk, randy and geezer butler of sabbath fame on bass. first european pressing on epic records.

cradle of filth - dusk and her embrace... the original sin

would have loved a re-issue of the re-recorded official release from 1996, but the time for that will come. this is another cool mix of the album with a great back story.

500 copies made on gold vinyl. great presentation all around. only the track list got completely mixed up. made myself a little cheat sheet with the correct list. darkness shall rise productions. 2025.

ozzy osbourne - no more tears

one of his commercially most successful albums and a peak in his career. to me as a millennial, that's the time i know ozzy from. this one is full of bangers. 'mama, i'm coming home', 'i don't want to change the world', 'desire' or the title track 'no more tears' - all were huge hits and still hold up well. though i prefer his 80's records nowadays, i can't deny the brilliancy of this milestone album. the band around randy castillo and zakk wylde was super tight, too.

nice double lp re-issue on 180gr vinyl from 2021. a shame they didn't include a lyric sheet. epic records. 1991.

ozzy osbourne - no rest for the wicked

took me a few spins to warm up with the zakk wylde incarnation of ozzy's solo band, but now i love it. european first pressing in prime condition. epic records. 1988.
