The"Prince of Darkness" Bark at the Moon is the third studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, originally released on 15 November 1983.   Bark at the Moon is the only Ozzy Osbourne album on which the songwriting is credited entirely to Osbourne. However, guitarist Jake E Lee maintains that he composed a significant amount of the album's music but was cheated out of his writing and publishing claims by Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon  Lee claims that after he had composed the songs and completed recording his parts in the studio, he was presented with a contract which stated that he would have no claim to any writing or publishing relating to the album. The contract also stated that Lee could not mention this publicly. Lee claims he signed the contract because he had no legal representation and because Sharon threatened to fire him and have another guitarist re-record his parts if he refused. That was Sharon.  This is Osbourne's first album to feature guitarist Jake E Lee and only studio album to feature drummer Tommy Aldridge. This release was mastered by Howie Weinberg and it is a mastering gem.  Great sound.  Pressed at Carrollton, Ga. Columbia.  Thank you for your valuable time and read. The vinyl will ship outside the jacket.
