Ozzy Osbourne will release an expanded digital edition of his 1980 debut, “Blizzard Of Ozz”, on September 18 to mark the record’s 40th anniversary.
Originally issued a year after the singer’s firing from Black Sabbath, the project launched Osbourne’s solo career with a bang: introduced by the legendary lead single, “Crazy Train”, the album reached No. 21 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 5 million copies in the country.
The new 2020 digital version adds three bonus tracks – including “You Looking At Me, Looking At You”, a 2010 mix of “Goodbye To Romance”, and the studio outtake “RR” – as well as live versions of seven tracks from the group’s tour in support of the album that are currently unavailable digitally: "I Don't Know," "Crazy Train," "Mr. Crowley," "Revelation (Mother Earth)," "Steal Away (The Night)" and "Suicide Solution" (all previously found only in the “Blizzard Of Ozz”/”Diary Of A Madman” 30th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set), and "You Said It All" from the 1980 “Mr. Crowley” live EP.
Osbourne will also issue digital editions of two classic video releases: “Live & Loud” and “Live At Budokan.”
1993’s “Live & Loud” is a compilation of live footage from several shows and includes guest appearances from Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates and his own band from that era: guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Michael Inez, drummer Randy Castillo and keyboardist Kevin Jones.
2002’s “Live At Budokan” was shot earlier that year as part of a world tour that saw the lineup of Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo, drummer Mike Bordin and keyboardist John Sinclair.
