Is that Randy in front of Ozzy in the second pic ABOVE to the right of the photo behind $haron

Thank you for adding those scans. Looks like the band sitting there with Ozzy, actually at a closer look, it may be Rudy. You know Randy is there though.

To me last pic looks to me Rudy is sitting right behind Sharon and Randy sitting left from Rudy with his back against the wall. So yes.

Are these from the Sharon Biography special?

How can you see that? I can only figure out where Sharon is (duh), and Ozzy, but how can you tell who's who?

Agreed.

I can't help but crack a smile on the second picture.

Judging by Ozzy's hair I would say this was maybe late 1980 or early 1981, before Ozzy went for the blonde look.
What month is Sharon's birthday, anyone know?

Fozzy $harons birthday is 9th October,i think this is in late 1979 or 1980.Ozzy is wearing a 1980 Blizzard Tour shirt and that brown tan leather jacket which he was photographed wearing in the Ridge farm photo session during the Blizzard recordings.

all things considered, Sharon doesn't age much does she? Besides being a good 40-50 lbs lighter.

You could be right Shaun, but I'm still going for early 1981. I never noticed the Blizzard T-Shirt at first, well spotted. Are we sure these stills are from Sharon's birthday celebrations, I've got my doubts.
In 1979 Ozzy's hair was a lot longer, he got it cut a bit shorter in early 1980, as seen on some of the Ridge Farm studio shots, it was similar to this on the Blizzard Uk Tour in Sept/Oct 1980.
By early 1981 his hair had started to grow back a little longer and he'd started to grow out his fringe, in fact his hair in these stills is similar to what it was like in the first official group photo of Blizzard Mark 2, with Rudy and Tommy in the band, March/April 1981. That's my theory anyhow.
Jesus! I can't believe I'm waffling on so much about Ozzy's hair, I must be jealous.
