(2/10)
False advertising at its worst and utter ugliest. This is the ultimate sin in Ozzydom. You don't mess with this album other than perhaps remaster or remix it to be as best sounding as possible with technological advancements in sound. But to re-record? Who in the hell ever dreamed this one up? Talk about the ultimate in stupidity! Ozzy, you messed this one and Blizzard Of Ozz up bigtime. Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisely put on some incredible tracks on these albums and for what...... No way, unacceptable. I bought this CD as it is my all time favorite Ozzy CD and Blizzrd of Ozz because they both have Randy on guitar and I could not believe my ears. It was obvious immediately with the opening drums of Over The Mountain that something was very wrong. I raced to the back of the cd booklet and was horrified at what I read...Re-recorded bass and drums by so and so...I gasped for air and was horrified. Go ahead Ozzy ...why not re-record Randy's tracks while you are at it. ...Utter and complete blasphemy and the worst thing was that there was no way of telling from the outer package that theser were re-recorded tracks. In fact, I listened very sickingly to most of the songs and then just yesterday sold them both to my local used CD shop... ...Do not buy at any cost!!!!
