The strange thing about BOO is that you still can't preorder it at Amazon.uk or Amazon.de. You can find it listed there, but they don't know the price or when it will be available, even though it says release date 30 may 2011.
At Amazon.fr you can order it.

You can listen 30 seconds of every song.
The last song sounds like a different version of the guitarsolo on Tribute.

No problems to preorder the legacy edition of DOA anywhere at Amazon, but no audiosamples so far...

Here is the link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blizzard-Ozz-Ex ... 4NRH4HT9YS

Im not spoiling it, Im waiting for my boxset , thanks for the link.

The outtake is from the "Laughing Gas" Spot Light solo.

I'm so disappointed that the version of YLAMLAY is the Japan remix with the cowbell.

The guitars are mixed so much better on the 7" version.

Seems inappropriate as that is not the version that was released when Randy was alive.

So the person that has an "advanced" copy of this box-set said "there's NO cow-bell at the beginning" has a different version?

That person listened over the phone to the advance copy, not in person. He didn't hear the cowbell in the chorus (and said there was no count-off in the beginning), but if you play the cowbell version over the phone, the cowbell does not come through, at least on my cell phone. It's just not clear enough over the phone to hear those details. Maybe on a clear landline with a good handset mike it would.

Sony should not list it as a "non-LP b-side". It's not the b-side version. Any time a different mix is used, it should be listed as such. They should list it as a remix on the track listing so people know they are not getting the rarer (and better) original mix.

^ Thanks for the reply! So this is the '02 Remixed version? not with Bob and Lee?

Not the '02. Most likely the '84 mix from Japan. However, I actually got someone on the phone at Sony Music. He said "I was there when they pulled the tape with that song. It had Ridge Farm on the box and it was the original multi-track master. It was the version that was originally going to be on the album." I asked him why the 7" mix was different cause I thought THAT was the version that was going to be on the album. He just told me they didn't pull any tapes from the singles.

So when the CD comes out, if the guitars are mixed like the 7" version, then we will have a 4th version of that song (one mixed like the 7" but with a cowbell).

Kicked myself so hard when I realized I didn't ask him about YSIA, extended mixes, etc!

I couldn't keep myself from having a Huge grin while listen to this. It was awesome hearing it So clearly...Randy's "Laughing gas" solo is definitely one of my favorite solo's of his.

Thanks. I called back, got voice mail. Left a message and sent an email. Will hopefully get back to me.
