Tommy and Rudy should have been chosen for the remasters...

I have always thought who would get any Gold Silver or Platinum awards for the sales of Blizzard and Diary. I would like to think that it would be the original performers. But as we know the credit did go to Rudy and Tommy on the diary album. But they never played a note on either of them. It would be interesting to find out if any awards did end up in Bob's or Lee's hands ?.

What was done to those two albums was sacrilege. Why Ozzy chose to f**k over Bob and Lee is beyond me. I know money was the issue, but I would have given Ozzy more credit than to do something like that for money. Sharon has him by the balls, so she may have been the deciding factor.

I stick to the originals!!! Luckily I have at least 3 to 5 copies of both BBO and DOAMM all the time, on my collection [I´ve given few copies as a gift, to friends...like original cassette copy of Diary...too.] Even tho´I bought both remasters. You looking at me looking at you- sounds untouched, on BBO-bonus... Otherwise I haven´t listened to them since I got them...

You looking at me's re-recording is lacking the"Cowbell" which is key to the song,is completely missing:(
I think the re-recordings are a great novilty,just a fun different way to hear those classics,but it is obsured that theese are the only versions you can get new anymore.Which is awful.The key word here is Novilty!
