New Ozzy best-of!

[spawn]

I like Ozzys solo stuff more too, plus I think the Dio stuff is better than the Ozzy stuff when it comes to Black Sabbath

For once Spawn speaks some sense when it comes to music. Who'da thunk it??

 

[spawn]

I would have.

Wasn't arguing that.

Heaven And Hell!!

With the exception of Technical Ecstasy, Never Say Die, Born Again and about half of Volume 4, I like every Sabbath album no matter the lineup. They're easily my favourite of the "big three" bands who helped invent metal just as the flower-power era was drawing to a close. The other two are Purple and Zeppelin, BTW .

Aside from Tribute, I don't have any solo Ozzy and thought this compilation might be a good place to start. Some of the less enthusiastic reactions to it have made me think differently...

Wrathy, get 'The Ozzman Cometh'.

Get The Ultimate Sin and No More Tears Wrathy, Tribute has the Randy era stuff covered, and those 2 albums are absolute classics!

I'd still get it. The 'Ultimate Sin' material was left off because Ozzy's being sued by Phil Soussan who played bass on that album. So piss Sharon off and go out and buy a copy of 'Ultimate Sin', as well

My 'best of' contains The Ultimate Sin..

You should buy it!


Well not really, 'cos it just doesn't compare to Tribute..
At least it does contain Shot In The Dark!

 

[Spiff]

You should maybe still might be able to perhaps still get The Ultimate Sin and No Rest For The Wicked in a two-disc set like I got years ago. No real special tracks on No Rest apart from maybe Miracle Man, but it's still a good album.

All OZZY Sabbth is the best Sabbath, quit arguing i hve spoken

I want to post something poetic here buy its all been said , just go out and buy the fucker and Ultimate Sin as well......

Has any one seen Symptom of the Sabbath : a remastered Greatest Hits 2 cd the usual Ozzy era stuff , liner notes by Ozzy & the band I think , no special tracks (b-sides etc ) but wait for it $90 fucking bucks for 2CD 's fuk me dead .......I still get it but fuk me.........Id rather buy Eddie Treasure chest thingie its only 70 bucks more ........Its greed I' d say damm it............

 

[Wrathchild]

$90 for 2 CDs? Must be an import at that price
You'd be better off waiting for the local release if there is one.

I've heard that compilation is just a teaser for the latest batch of remasters direct from Warner Bros. The Castle ones weren't official or authorised by the band. These are, and I'm told they sound much better too .

That sounds cool Wrathy. Remasters rule....well, good ones do. The new Ozzy ones with the re-recorded bass n drums suck arse.

Man I can't wait for Dio remasters!

Bucko: I think the 'Eddies Archives' box would be a better buy too. An excellent release from Maiden IMO.
