It's the first time ive seen the pic at the bottom of the page from this Japanese Fanzine.I gather that it was taken at Ridge Farm during the recording of Blizzard has anyone got a clearer pic of this one as its a bit murky.Can anyone translate the dialogue into English

I have visited Ridge farm and this is definitely Ridge Farm. The building behind them is the house where Randy, Bob, and Lee were staying during the session. Ozzy, Sharon, and Engineer Max Norman were housed in other buildings on the Farm.

Thanks for the link Shaun. They actually stopped being a fully equipped studio in 2002

Which is dissapointing because all of the original equipment used for mixing the blizzard album is now gone

. Some lucky guy has got some real special equipment!
