Ozzy Osbourne: Bark At The Moon Rough Mix (FLAC_SB/Studio_1 CD)

I had a recent request for an Ozzy recording which featured the unreleased song "Spiders".  Even though I had gotten this song on a CD-R trade or three back in the 1990's, I found it faster and easier to just find it out there on the web rather than look through tons of CD cases and spindles.  The result is this superb sounding studio rough mixes copy I found.

This is from Ozzy's 1983 Bark At The Moon days and of course these rough mixes are from before the official studio release (which was in November of 1983) came out.  The sound is superb and has very good stereo separation too.

As I already said, the sound is superb.  It is the equivalent of a 1980's CD before remastering was being done.  There was some very light audio clipping in some tracks but it was not anything even worth redoing because it is not a factor.

The last track, "One Up The "B" Side", is also the title of a superb++ 2 CD set I have too.  It may have some of these songs on it?  I got a silver 2 CD set of "One Up The "B" Side" from an old rarities selling chain that no longer seems to be around when I lived in the town I went to college in.  If I locate the discs in the future, and of course I will eventually, I'll likely upload that item too since it has a lot of other songs on it and not just tracks from Bark At The Moon.

So, without further ado, here is the requested song along with many others from this rough mix of Ozzy tracks in the studio.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Ozzy Osbourne: 1981-07-28 Montreal, Quebec, Canada (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

This is an excellent sounding Randy Rhodes era recording of an Ozzy Osbourne show from Montreal in 1981.  I'm not sure, but I do not think this is a complete show.  Unless Ozzy was the opening act, and I doubt he was, this is too short of a concert to be complete.

I also do not know if the low resolution artwork titled "All Aboard" is truly the correct artwork for this specific recording of the show.  The person sharing this show a long time back claims in their lineage they ripped a CD-R of the show, and even though they do not mention the artwork they included, I believe the artwork was an afterthought.  The artwork shows nine tracks and this upload has eleven, it has the song "Mr. Crowley" which is wrong and is actually "Suicide Solution", and it also has the wrong date for the show.  While the artwork shows 1981-07-31 as the date, the real date was 1981-07-28.  And I've got two venues for this show too.  One venue is reported to be St. Denis Theater while the other, and likely correct venue, is listed as the Montreal Forum.

Unfortunately, the final product here is a sloppy package even though the music (the important part) sounds excellent.  The uploader was even very sloppy with their text file, the artwork they used, their lack of explanations in many areas, and just their overall finished project they shared.

It's too bad the whole show isn't here because it is a really nice soundboard.  There are a few crackles and pops (I don't believe this was an LP album however) I noticed.  These may have been caused in the transfer the original sharer shared?  But the audio file's integrity is good and there are no SBE's.  I'd originally thought the audio was going to be clipped because it is loud.  But it wasn't when I looked at the waveform and it really looked nice.  This is definitely one of the best Ozzy and Randy Rhodes era CD's I've heard in regards to audio quality!

I hope you enjoy the concert...
