A couple of weeks ago, I broke the news that the Ray Gillen version of the Eternal Idol was to be released. Back then I didn’t have a formal press release, but I have that today. Below is the full press release for the two releases. One slightly different bit in the press release, however. […]

Also, in a bit of a surprise came a press release with pictures of a new box set announced today by Sanctuary Records. It’s called “The Ozzy years – Complete Albums Box Set (Limited Collector’s Edition)”. This is a packaging of the various Sanctuary releases over the last 18 months or so in a box […]

The pile of release announcements continues with some other releases from the past. As with the Seventh Star & Eternal Idol announcement, I’m here to announce that available now are Deluxe Edition versions of the “Live at Last” album, as well as “Past Lives”.

If you get the Biography Channel here in the US, you’ll want to tune in this Thursday night the 15th. They’re running a couple of Biography episodes on both Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath. It does not appear they’re new (at least in the case of the Ozzy one), but if I get any info […]
