Ozzy’s second solo album features more of the madman’s killer tunes with support from guitar god Randy Rhodes (RIP). You get classic tracks like “Over the Mountain,” “Flying High Again,” and the heavy title track. This is a must have for metal heads. This is an original 1981 U.S. press on Jet Records (not sure if it’s a first).

Vinyl is VG+. A great playing copy with just a few pops throughout, it could benefit from a cleaning. There is one mark on side two covering the end of “Little Dolls” running through “Tonight” - it does not affect play too much, there is just a tiny bit more of a pop noticeable in quieter moments. (Those are the weakest tracks on the lp anyway!) The sleeve is in G+ condition. It does have some minor creases, ring wear, and some corner wear (see photos). Original inner sleeve is in G- condition with several sides taped abs some creasing. All in all a solid listening copy for a record of its age.

Lowish starting bid because I’m not a collector or a store, just want it to go to another metalhead who will love it.

From a smoke free home. Feel free to ask questions.
