blizzarddiaryozzy's channel

This channel is designed to give you Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman in their original forms without the rerecorded bass and drum tracks.

The only song I am not posting is Dee from Blizzard of Ozz. Dee is an acoustic guitar instrumental by Randy Rhoads, so there is no bass or drums and the 2002 and 1995 versions are identical.

Oh, I would also like to clear up confusion on the bass and drum credit on Diary of Madman, yes, Tommy Alridge and Rudy Sarzo were credited for the drum and bass parts back in 1981. They were pictured on the inner sleeve of the album along with Ozzy and Randy and even in the booklet for the 1995 CD, the one posted here, Tommy and Rudy are credited to drums and bass. HOWEVER, the actual drum and bass parts on the album were done by Lee and Bob, they weren't credited as players, but they were credited as songwriters and still are. So even back in 1981, Lee and Bob got screwed out of playing credit on Diary of a Madman..
