The reissues of OZZY OSBOURNE 's classic first two solo albums, 1980's "Blizzard Of Ozz" and 1981's "Diary Of A Madman" , sold around 6,000 copies each in the United States in their first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan . They arrived on May 31 in definitive editions that restore and remaster the original recordings. Both were made available separately or as part of a deluxe box set that features both albums on CD and vinyl, a 100-page coffee table book, a documentary on DVD and a "full-size detailed replica of Ozzy 's iconic cross."

Both albums come with previously unreleased bonus tracks and have been restored and remastered from the original analog recordings.

The albums restore the bass and drum tracks played respectively by Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake , which were controversially removed for a 2002 reissue by Ozzy 's wife and manager Sharon over a royalties dispute.

The "Blizzard Of Ozz" reissue comes with three bonus studio tracks, including an alternate version of "Goodbye To Romance" and a song never released in the U.S. called "You Looking At Me, Looking At You" .

The "Diary" reissue comes with a bonus CD of live performances captured on Ozzy 's "Blizzard Of Ozz" tour.

(Shades 202)

Mecca Auditorium Milwaukee, WI - January 22nd, 1982

(79:14) Diary Of A Madman Intro, Over The Mountain, Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train, Revelation Mother Earth, Steal Away The Night, Suicide Solution, Guitar Solo, Drum Solo, Goodbye To Romance, I Don’t Know, No Bone Movies, Believer, Flying High Again, Iron Man, Children Of The Grave, Paranoid

As I awaited the re-release of Ozzy Osbourne’s classic first two records I found myself listening non stop to solo Ozzy and Black Sabbath in anticipation. In my early teens Ozzy was a god, I devoured the Blizzard Of Ozz cassette and marveled at his phenomenal new guitar player Randy Rhoads. My first exposure to Live Ozzy was from the King Biscuit Flower Hour that I taped off the radio like I did so many other bands like Black Sabbath and The Outlaws, needless to say I wore the tape out.

Then along came Diary Of A Madman, a record that took it to a whole new level, both musically and visually with songs like Tonight and SATO I was hooked for life, he even played the area in Western Michigan where I lived at the time but there was no way in hell my parents would let me attend (that concert did eventually show up on bootleg form as Still Believer Kalamazoo Mi. on the Shout To The Top Record). The concert featured here is from the Mecca Auditorium in Milwaukee, (incidentally the site of a riot at a Black Sabbath concert after some idiot threw an object at Geezer Butler splitting his forehead open, the band cannot continue and the crowd took over).

Sound wise it is a very good audience recording, very little audience disturbance around the taper and when it occurs it only adds to the mayhem, once the recording settles in all instruments can be clearly heard and are well balanced. The band is in excellent form and can probably be considered the classic line up of Rhoads, Sarzo, Aldridge, and Airey backing up Osbourne. The recording starts with the Diary intro before the band rips into Over The Mountain, the sound during the first part of this song suffers from some phasing, probably due to the taper moving (or being moved) but just before the guitar solo it clears up nicely.

By now the volume of the player should be at a LOUD volume, no tape hiss here of excessive mastering the recording sounds great and atmospheric. The band heads right into Mr Crowley with Randy hitting the solo out of the park and audience go crazy for Crazy Train before settling down for Revelation Mother Earth. The song structure reminds me of the song Black Sabbath, slow to start Ozzy’s vocals are in great shape by now and Don Airey plays a beautiful solo then Randy hits with that huge riff and blistering dramatic solo, this is of course followed by Steal Away.
