Ultimate Rhoads

This was posted up on facebook from Ridge farm engineer Max Norman. Those are the working titles for the tracks on Diary of a Madman. The added comments are for fade outs and volume levels on guitar solos etc. An interesting piece of memorabilia from their classic album.

A photo of Max and Randy from the Diary recording sessions.

That's great!!! Now imagine hearing some out-takes from those sessions!!!

I messaged Max Norman and i asked him who had wrote the notes added to the working track listings. He said that it's Randy's writing, but i'm not convinced. This is a similar item with Randy's writing on it. He sent this to Jodi while he was staying at Ridge farm. This is in a private collection and has not been circulated so please respect that it is here and keep it here. Cheers.

Very cool to see! Interesting how the artist is listed as Blizzard of Ozz and not Ozzy Osbourne

Blizzard of Ozz, the band! Too bad they couldn't keep the obvious chemistry together.

I wonder if these random notes were done by Bob Daisley? They rhyme pretty good and are somewhat witty, and seem to be the kind of thing that Bob might have scribbled down while waiting for Assistant Producer "Peetie". Anyhow, that is my guess - that these writings are Bob's.

The page at the top is wrote by Bob i have seen both Bob's and Randy's writing. Max Norman thought it was wrote by Randy..
Randy wrote the bottom one with references to WOBBLER and Peetie. Peetie was his cute name for his then girl friend Jodi Raskin.
