I had 2 of the right one and gave it away as a present and it didn't have a sticker either. Here is the other photos that goes along with it. I believe John Stix has these also on his wall if you look at the Japanese Documentary. So don't think these are his as Matt said.
now the 7x9's below have printed on the back but the 8x10 on the right doesn't but looks like the same series from the bigger 14x16 approx above.
Cheers Tom for mentioning those other photos and those one's that you said are on John Stix's wall. So are you going with idea that John shot those ?. That original pic i posted up that does have 'Pat Celi New Jersey' stamped on the back. A Great collection there mate

Tom i remember seeing 6 3.5" X 5" colour photos on ebay of Ozzy i recognised some of them from the HMH Port Vale 1981. But i didn't have a clue where the other set came from. I just recognised them as an early Blizzard gig with Bob Daisley on bass. So i knew they would be from a 1980 UK show. I bid on them and got them for a few pounds. I was in awe of them when they arrived as i had never seen these published. On a random Google search for the HMH Portvale i came across Alan Perry's concert photos web site i was in total shock . I couldn't contact him quick enough. I later got to know Alan quite well and he visited my home and we chatted about photography and music in general. He then mentioned that he had other out of focus photos of Randy. I insisted that he send me a sample of them. They later all become available in a full set of 85 photos including cropped photos from his originals from the Coventry theatre 1980 & HMH 1981. That was like finding the Holy Grail for me as i've only got a few photos from 1980 -81 Ozzy gigs from the UK.
These are some of the out of focus shots from Alan's collection He said that he didn't want to release these because of the 'low standard of quality'. I could understand his point as he doesn't sell crap. So he decided to add the others for free...I was knocked out when i seen these...
TAB wrote:yes thanks for showing those Shaun. I remember you posting those here once. Alan did sell me 2 of the 4 of those. Yea I think he never made them available cause of that. Sounds like you have a great collection as well. nice job! Sure wish I could have bought the rep photo port vale by my gosh I am not rich.
I'm sure he made them all available in the full set of his Ozzy photos. He included the out of focus and cropped pics as part of a freebie for purchasing all his pics. They come up on ebay and are probably the cheapest and best value for money photos i've ever bought. Tom i try to keep my collection limited to 1980 - 81 UK photos only. That's how my collection is nowhere near the size of yours. But i do have some nice pieces of concert memorabilia.
