Ozzy Osbourne, BLIZZARD OF OZZ, Jet Records (CBS) vinyl Lp. Vinyl reissue of a 1980 Lp. Thick slab o' plastic, like from the '50s thick slab. My vinyl copy is whisper quiet with no playback issues on my Audio Technica ATPL-120 turntable. Curiosity got the better of me. From reading books about the '80s metal and censorship excesses, Tipper Gore's war on children's music, brainwashing paranoia, demons whispering backwards gibberish from vinyl grooves, and where better to start than with the Metal's R. M. Renfield's first two solo albums. Favorite tracks are "Crazy Train," "Suicide Solution," and "Mr. Crowley." I've played the album, both sides, now on multiple occasions and I still haven't detected any end-the-world brainwashing urges from the exposure. Frankly, I'm quite impressed with the album (fun) and still a happy guy. I was reading about and watching a PBS documentary about the Reno 1990 Judas Priest trial Dream Deceivers and came across references that the lawyers were connected with a like trials Brainwash: The Secret History of Mind Control , product liability farces, inspired by Tipper Gore's PMRC crusades. At the time metal albums were purportedly just slopping over with brainwashing and mind control messages leading record buyers (listeners) to cavort with Satanists, hold seances with the deceased, commune with "dark forces" by mental telepathy in the Himalayas, torture cats, play Dungeons & Dragons, use a Ouiji board, and succumb to the Occult. I have a bookcase shelf full of 1960s-1990s anti-rock books by Christian authors about the Satanic Panic, and went through them for Ozzy's backward masking allegations. While multiple books from the period lambaste Ozzy for his occult themes and bad taste forward, only one book, by John Muncy, THE ROLE OF ROCK (1989) The Role of Rock: Harmless Entertainment or Destructive Influence? , mentions a backward masking phrase, alleged from the second trial by the Institute for Bio-Acoustic Research, Steve Williamson. Tipper Gore's book, Raising PG Kids in an X Rated Society by Tipper Gore (1988-09-01) , mentions and applauds the first California trial. The album dates about August/September, 1980 in the UK (debut UK charts on 9/20/80); in the U.S. the Lp dates March/April, 1981, charting on both Billboard and Cash Box pop Lp charts in the middle of April, 1981. The US Lp earned an RIAA Gold Record Award on 7/31/81, and certified RIAA Platinum on 6/18/82 about a year later.

Ｂ面の二曲目が弱いくらいで ほかは名曲ばかり ベースが素晴らしい

Ho sempre preferito i lavori di Ozzy da solista piuttosto che da cantante dei Black Sabbath. BOZ é una pietra miliare del panorama Hard and Heavy dai primi anni '80 in poi. Disco leggendario, brani come I don't know, Crazy train, Mr. Crowley hanno fatto la storia del genere e rimangono ancora oggi classici senza tempo. Molto buona la ristampa in vinile, oltretutto acquistato in offerta, consegna Amazon come sempre impeccabile.

This is a good album and has alot of good songs on it, it arrived on time and in pristine condition, a must have for Ozzy Osbourne fans. Great album.

Top album !

Très bonne musique
