TRADE? Send UK for my US version... Obviously, both would be the new record store day one not the 1981.

There are different versions? The store I went to hadn't got one single copy and I was told it was a US release. That being the reason for slim availability.

Rough Trade record shop had a RSD and i seen a copy from a UK seller on ebay. So it was available out side of the USA.

Sure it was available in Europe but not enough copies found their way to Finland. I believe it was the US version sold in Europe too.

Those who managed to get a one in Europe, please check your copy and tell us which version is it, thanks.

You can check the back. I put up a front and back of the US version on "Record store day" post. I saw a small scan of a UK and they indeed looked different. UK has the Sony logo. Different pressing plant's (3 white lines on UK instead of 2 on US). Probably not a small batch...

I don't think there just were only 500 made. A store down the road only had 3 on Saturday and I saw that 2 were bought leaving 1 but I went back the next day and there were 4... and I'm still told I can buy 1 per day. Could of been a BS story - someone else put 2,500 which what do sharon and Ozzy know about limited editions except you get more money if you call it that.

looks like there are 2 versions: one with big hole one with small hole so one is European the other is US pressed. looking at it I doubt it was pressed only at 500 copies... selling / reselling it so cheap!!!

Bought one off eBay yesterday, seller is from UK. Very hard to find at least where I live...

Nobody? I guess it would be easier to buy off ebay. More $$. I went to the record store on Tuesday afternoon and they still had 2 singles left. I bought one and the guy I talked to Monday said I could take the Ozzy poster off the wall. Then another dude said, "I'll get you one without tape." He came out of the back with one and I was so blown away. I came in once per day - Saturday, Sunday, Monday, etc. I was like blah, blah, BOX SET, blah, DVD, Blah, Picture discs... I gotta go give these guys some more business. But yeah, they didn't know anything about an Ozzy box set...

I received my UK RSD FHA single and it's a thicker stock where the US version tends to bend/give because of the thinner sleeve paper. I like the UK version better!
