Black vinyl. Remastered. Re-Release.

Background information about 'Blizzard Of Ozz (Re-Release)'

Ozzy Osbourne's debut solo album "Blizzard of Ozz" stands as one of heavy metal's most influential and enduring masterpieces. Released in 1980, this record marked the Prince of Darkness's triumphant emergence from the ashes of Black Sabbath, showcasing a revitalized artist ready to conquer new territories. The album's power lies not just in Ozzy's distinctive vocal prowess, but in the extraordinary guitar work of the late Randy Rhoads, whose neoclassical approach revolutionized metal guitar playing. From the opening riff of "I Don't Know" to the haunting piano intro of "Mr. Crowley", every track demonstrates a perfect balance between accessibility and musical sophistication.

The album's crown jewel, "Crazy Train", became an instant anthem that transcended metal boundaries, while deeper cuts like "Suicide Solution" and "Revelation (Mother Earth)" reveal the album's darker, more complex nature. Bob Daisley's bass lines and Lee Kerslake's drumming provide the rock-solid foundation that allows Ozzy's theatrical vocals and Rhoads' virtuosic guitar work to soar. This remastered edition brings new clarity to these timeless compositions, highlighting the production nuances that made this album a blueprint for countless metal acts that followed.

For fans of: Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Dio, and Iron Maiden
