Ozzy Osbourne

Blizzard of Ozz

But Where Is The Live Mr Crowley EP??

Review Score:

(10/10)
First off, the guy below me is an idiot. Not much else to say beyond that. I havent heard this bonus track, but I do have a copy of "You Said It All (live)". Its pretty good, but I forgot if it was a B Side, or on the live EP "Mr Crowley". Why isnt "Mr Crowley" on the Ozzy list? Its from a concert in England in 1980, I believe. I forget how much I paid for it. Like 20 bucks, but in 1988. Mr Crowley is on it, Suicide Solution, is, And I thought You Said It All is on it too. All live versions. Kinda rough and raw sounding in the delivery of the songs. Randy is just blazingly fast on this early work. Its not a bootleg either, so I believe its from the soundboard. Its at my other house right now, so I cant look at it. I know Im forgetting a song or 2. There is one bit that pisses me off on the Crowley EP. Before Randy goes into his solo on Suicide Solution, the damned song ends. He starts doing this whammy bar hammer on stuff, and then it fades out!! What the hell was up with that?? LOL So this is a classic album (Blizzard) no doubt. What gets overlooked is from "Diary". Like 'Over The Mountain', 'SATO', and 'Tonight'. "Flying High Again", is of course a classic, but some of these deeper cuts deserve to see daylight. Go ahead, crank up "SATO" in your car. Just dont blame me for the speeding ticket. LOL
