Looks like Blizzard and Diary are getting re-mastered yet again, though this time, Daisley & Kerslake's performances are restored. Bob himself confirmed this on his FB page. $haron also confirmed video of the Rhoads era to be included.
Look for a Thanksgiving release stateside.

About fucking time.
Now if someone would just restore the other half of Randy Rhoads' recorded work.

RE: old QR... Are you talking about a remix and remaster or just re-release?Originally Posted by FORD
I'm talking about the fact that the original two Quiet Riot albums have never been released in the US (and even the Japanese import has been out of print for decades) and the one disc we eventually got from DuBrow was not a "remaster" as it was labeled, but more like a completely new vocal on all the tracks, and some overdubs on the bass & drum parts. DuBrow insists all the guitar work was Randy, but how the Hell would you know, given the inauthentic nature of the album otherwise.
It's a fucking tragedy that a talent like Randy Rhoads can't even have an honest document of his recorded work available. At least the Osbournes seem to be ready to reverse their part in this crime. DuBrow is no longer available to do so, so I don't even know who the Hell you would talk to on that one.
Randy's mother? She's gotta be at least in her 80's by now, and probably wouldn't want much to do with the actual project, but as far as I know, she still owns the legal rights to Randy's music.
Incredible. Sharon The CUNT has some kind of dim awareness of a ray of light slowly creeping into that sub-human, cro-magnon skull of hers.
Fucking bitch. Why does God take Ronnie James Dio but leave fucking whores like Sharon Cuntie Osbourne alive?

How are we to know that this wasn't Sharon's plan all along...to cut out Daisley's and Kerslake's performances, replace them with substandard rerecorded performances to create an uproar and high demand for the albums with the original performances still intact, and then several years down the road make the originals available again to the buying public, thus spurring increased sales of the first two albums?
I know some of Randy's tracks were re-amped using Carlos' Marshalls, but they were intent on keeping Randy's parts themselves intact. Still, replacing any of the original performances (EQ tweaks aside, which was the purpose of the re-amping) it's kind of the same deal that Sharon pulled in a way, only it wasn't over royalties or conflicting egos..
Link to the info please.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It's a well-known fact...so STFU, Steve.
LINK !
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
Notice the original "OO" logo from the B.O.O. album...
Exactly, the main reason for the remix was due to Kevin's insecurity with his vocals. Randy's parts were left intact but run through Carlos' amp as you mentioned. I have no problem with the end result. The original recording sounded sloppy, needed some punching up.
Shut the fuck up, Steve. Just go away.
Long time no see, Member 46!
Yeah, it's seeming not nearly as offensive as taking out Daisley and Kerslake's performances...which is fucking blasphemous, if you ask me (and even if you didn't).
Kev went back and fixed parts that he recorded as a kid that "made (him) cringe" years later; he didn't eliminate someone's contribution to a timeless classic over a royalty dispute.
And as for youthful recordings making one cringe - what musician among us doesn't have that demo in their collection?I can totally see - and have done myself recently - EQ tweaks to old MP3s (not to derail, but with some pretty cool results):
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8271708
...But to totally change or remove parts of something that's for the most part supposed to be a historic retrospective? Ends up being more like that album with Bono and company dueting with the ghost of Frank Sinatra (chairman of the bored). A novelty at best. In Sharon's case with her move, an annoyance, and a blemish on Ozzy's legacy.
must've finished his sentence following the whole "Dateline NBC" thing.

Hey Ford,
I agree, I'd like those two QR albums done proper. Delores does have something to do with them not being released outside of Japan.
She is going on the feelings of her son, who didn't like the end result of either album. It took a lot of convincing on Kevin's part just to get the RR Years album approved by Dee. There was supposed to be a second volume, but that obviously never came to be.
I don't mean to sound morbid here, but it has been said that the very reason the public has seen next to nothing in terms of Rhoads merchandise, is because Delores does not want to appear as though she is making money off of the name of her dead son.
I can understand that to a point, but like some have stated here, as of '02 none of us could walk into a record store and buy an authentic representation of Randy's work with either band and that is unfortunate.
I just hope the remasters themselves are done properly. If $haron were smart, she would have Max Norman do the job.
Perhaps the success of this box would show Delores that she could have the same if she were to somehow put out a similar box of the Quiet Riot material.
Two live shows with Randy ??
Awesome!!!!
This is really good news. I hope it actually happens.
It has allways been a mystery to me as to why no real studio bootlegs have ever surfaced of Randy. Must be a ton a shit around some where.
I'm shelling out for this, I really am.
I only have in CD form the 24 bit remastered edition of Diary of a Madman, the one with the small cover amidst all that green shit. Apparently that was before they edited Randy out? I kicked myself over the years for not purchasing Blizzard of Ozz when I had the chance. I figured "yeah, I'll buy this next week or so" & weeks became years & fuck!
Now I got the chance again, I'm giving away my hard earned money to The Cunt.
Least she could do would be to come over & blow me.
Cheers! :bottle:
No, there's not...

So that answers the question of studio demos and such. Kick-ass avatar, btw
Imapus,
Those '95 remasters, (swirly colored backgrounds), are the ones folks have been clamoring for since the '02 debacle. It was Bob & Lee who were edited out, not Randy. I still come across the '95s in record shops for $10 or less, used.

"The Grail" That shit is un fuckin real! I don't know what tosay....
Wait. Are u Bob Daisley?
Nah...I'd love to have half the guy's talent, but none of the hassle he's had to go through just to get what's rightfully his.
Well The Holy Grail. Man can u imagine the number of RR fans that want that? I mean I think I have every known video of him that is around but to have that fuckin shit would be just, man I can't explain how I feel about that.
Naw, It only took one good hard kick in the purse for her to realize...Incredible. Sharon The CUNT has some kind of dim awareness of a ray of light slowly creeping into that sub-human, cro-magnon skull of hers.

I think Bob , RR's mom and his foundation and the fans are the only ones that should profit from the Grail. Fuck $haron.
THAT Daisley interview pretty much validates all the reasons Dubrow gave for not wanting to be involved with the project...Jag,

Considering the poor relations between the O$bournes and Daisley & Kerslake, I wondered how Bob and Lee were able to use compositions from Blizzard & Diary for their Living Loud project with Jimmy Barnes & Steve Morse.
Obviously, there shouldn't have been a problem, as it's known that Ozzy's only contribution to those albums were his voice and vocal melodies.
These albums getting the deluxe treatment, with the original recordings is truly great news. The audio and video extras are gravy, but I really hope that Bob and Lee will finally get the credit they deserve.
Perhaps there is some truth that this was Sharon's plan all along in order to make the 30th anniv. all that much bigger.
Myself? I agree with Igo. I think they started to realize Blizzard and Diary weren't selling like they used to. What was done to those albums was the textbook example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. She fucked up a very important part of her husband's legacy just to say 'fuck you' to a couple of ex-hired hands. In the end, it made her look foolish to fans and peers alike, and hurt Ozzy, Inc.
I am glad, but suprised $haron is going forward with this, as basically she is admitting she is wrong, but that is a small price to pay in order to restore a lot of credibility.
It's obvious I am biased. I do love the two albums that were recorded with Jake, I've always wished he and Ozzy could have worked together once more. I've liked Zakk, but never loved his work with Oz. What I'm trying to say is BOO & DOAM are the two most important albums Ozzy has in his solo canon. They solidified his reputation, they yeild the most songs that are still played live today and they set the template for what is referred to as the "Ozzy Sound".
Ozzy owes much to Kerslake & Daisley, more than the financial sense, as it was the two of them that rescued him from the depths and gave him a solid foundation to stand on and build a name, and they also took a green kid with little touring or studio experience, and helped him become a solid contender.
Looks like I'll have more than turkey to sink my teeth into this Thanksgiving!
Man, first day purchase for the Randy videos and the remasters with Bob & Lee. Great news.
The only thing missing from this scenario is the outright demand for...one million dollars.
Bonus punchline, mainly because I saw it on a MASH rerun the other evening.
Flagg: (to Burns) You were insanely jealous of her engagement. You were furious at being rejected! You were capable of murder.
Hawkeye: That's right! So you hit over the head with a blunt instrument.
B.J.: A saxophone.
Hawkeye: Then you hypnotized her and told her she was Johnny Ray.
B.J.: Then you performed plastic surgery on her, made her look like Johnny.
Hawkeye: The rest is obvious. You stuck her in a trunk, you mailed her to Las Vegas, and now she's doing two shows a night at the Sands.
B.J.: Three on Saturdays.
Flagg: (dragging Burns with him) There's only one flaw with that theory.
Hawkeye: Only one?
Flagg: They don't do three shows Saturday night at the Sands.
Hawkeye: How do you know?
Flagg: I was a showgirl for six weeks.

Sharon Osbourne was the surprise guest at Ozzy Osbourne's elaborately staged news conference on Wednesday afternoon (May 19) at Casa Loma's Great Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to promote his new album, "Scream".
Video highlights from the press conference can be viewed in two parts below (courtesy of MusikUniverse.net).
When asked about Ozzy's upcoming 30th-anniversary editions of his first two albums, 1980's "Blizzard Of Ozz" and 1981's "Diary Of A Madman", with their original drum and bass tracks restored (unlike the 2002 reissues of these albums, which saw the replacement of the original bass and drum tracks by Osbourne's then-drummer Mike Bordin and -bassist Robert Trujillo), Sharon said, "They are coming out for Thanksgiving and they will be on the market then. . . It's going back to the original recordings with [Bob] Daisley [bass] and [Lee] Kerslake [drums]. And there will be a lot of stuff that you haven't heard before in the packages. Like certain conversations that were going on in the studio with the guys just messing around while the tape was still rolling. All of that will be added into it."
Q: There's also talk of some visuals in the archives with Randy Rhoads.
Sharon: "We've got two different shows that we have in the archives that we're working on right now. Of course, in those days, the tapes were, like, cut to twenty minutes and then you had to change the tape, so we're trying to clean it up and make sense of it. We are working on it, yeah, along with another film that we have of Randy, so it'll all be boxed together. It should be a great piece to have for a real fan. It will be an amazing piece."
As previously reported, Ozzy Osbourne will release a holiday album called "Black Christmas" late next year, according to an article in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The set will be accompanied by a TV special. Ozzy's wife and manager Sharon seems to be the driving force behind the project, telling the magazine that she had discussed the idea with her husband, but that "he's trying to forget that it actually exists." No further details, such as songs that Ozzy might record for the album, are available.
According to Rolling Stone, Ozzy is reportedly considering performing both "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman" in their entirety at some point in his upcoming touring schedule.
The Ozz will hit the road in support of his new record, "Scream", which is due out on June 22. He'll begin with a short, six-date Ozzfest trek before headlining on his own in the fall.
Ozzy says he wants to change up his set list when he gets onstage this year, explaining, "I've got such a . . . body of work to choose from now. I'd like to do some different [BLACK] SABBATH songs, and some different Ozzy songs."
Ozzfest begins on August 14 in San Bernardino, California. The festival's organizers have announced that all fans who purchase tickets for one of the dates before June 18 at LiveNation.com will receive a digital copy of "Scream" the day before the album is available in stores. Tickets go on sale Saturday (May 22) and will feature all-in pricing with no additional fees.

He really likes Gus basically because he can play all his old shit note for note? ok.. I get that.
" So Ozzy when was the last time you wiped your own ass? "
" Ask Sharon"
Some re-issues I'm actually excited about. They have been a long time coming.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
Well, if you believe the bullshit that Sharon spewed out on "Celebrity Apprentice", then she would donate every dime she and Ozzy made from these reissues to her cancer charity. Maybe she'll surprise us all and do exactly that?
Of course the odds of that are about equal to my odds of winning the Powerball and retiring to Tahiti with Angie Everhart, but it COULD happen, right?
A remastered SOTD should be included as well...
