Right now, Ozzy Osbourne‘s 1980 classic album Blizzard Of Ozz is on sale for only $2.99.

Blizzard Of Ozz, which marks the former Black Sabbath frontman’s solo debut as well as his first with the young guitar virtuoso Randy Rhoads, is undoubtedly one of the greatest albums in hard rock/metal ever released. The album contains Osbourne’s most popular tune, “Crazy Train,” as well album opener “I Don’t Know,” the controversial “Suicide Solution,” the melodic “Goodbye To Romance,” and Rhoads’ classical piece “Dee.”

I can’t stress enough how owning this album is a MUST and at $2.99, you have no reason not to. This MP3 version, as well as the CD edition, is the remastered version from the original recordings and it has several bonus tracks.

The classic Ozzy Osbourne albums, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman, are scheduled to be reissued in May 2011. The two albums are cited by metalheads around the world as classics, and were indeed an important chapter in the evolution of metal during the 1980’s. They are the first two recordings by Ozzy following his years in Black Sabbath, and were key releases in him reasserting his position as the “Prince of Fucking Darkness!”

Lots of good new stuff has been included with these reissues, scheduled for release on May 31, 2011, and fans will have some different versions to choose from.

First up is the 30th Anniversary Edition of Blizzard of Ozz, including the entire original album recording that has been remastered by George Marino for the release. This CD will also have bonus tracks added, including a rare guitar solo from Randy Rhoads.

Second is the Diary of a Madman: Legacy Edition. This release will be a special 2-disc/double-album. The first disc will be entire original recording of the album, also remastered by Marino. The second disc is a live album, simply titled Ozzy Live, and is a recording from the Blizzard of Ozz tour. Third on the list is a single-disc version of Diary of a Madman.
