What date was that gig? Was it the first one they had, or am I wrong here?

Yes I also think this was the second Hammersmith date, the first date in September Ozzy was wearing a dark colourd tassled top, not the red one above.

Hammersmith Photos

Me and Shaun have discussed these photo's quite a bit and we cannot find out who took them. I bought them back in late1980/early81 from an advert in Sounds magazine but it's too far back for me to remember who from. I'd love to find out as the photographer could well have many more from the same concert. Some very similar ones have appeared in mgazines over the years, taken by Ross Halfin, but were sure Ross never took these.

Fozzy i may have a clue into who took these,i believe that one of them is in the Ozzy HM photo book the one with Ozzy with his arms raised and Randy is to his right looking at the photo. (i didn't post it as the quality isn't that good) Well all the photographers who had photos published in that book are featured on the inside cover.I've narrowed it down to two its either Fin Costello or Paul Cox.I'd go for the lata as i've seen photos by Fin and non of these have been mentioned but he was at both Hammersmith shows.The only thing is i cannot see the connection with him advertising the photos in Sounds.The only people who i have listed as selling Ozzy photos from 1980 are Pete Still and Dick Wallis.I've contacted Pete and he says he has no pics from 1980 but he advertised in early 1981 in Kerrang and Sounds ?? he says he only has photos of Ozzy from 1984.You know the score with Dick Wallis who i cannot get in touch with...If anyone can put a name to these photos please help.

Somehow that pic looks very familiar.
First I thought it had appeared in "Original Randy Rhoads" by Wollf Marshall. I checked it and found a pic (page 5) where he had that same face, but it's obvious a very different pic.
So it could be very well a new one!
