And then there's this, Melody Maker Oct 1980 #6 in the album charts... The Blizzard of Ozz 'band' name was used for years before and after...i've got ticket stubs from 1984 and the 1986 gig above the ticket stub for that show also had BOO in larger print then Ozzy's name... Where are we going with ...

And then there's this, Melody Maker Oct 1980 #6 in the album charts...

Although many have heard it, this early interview further demonstrates that BOO was originally a band and not an Ozzy solo project with backup musicians. Oz sounds enjoyably coherent here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=464&v=4KxV5ec00do Randy told me the band name was “The Blizzar...

Was this in the pub nearby Ridge Farm-studios? I think so... :? It looks to me as if the photo was taken on tour but not at The Plough Inn which was the pub they went to when recording at Ridge Farm. Lee's wearing a back-stage pass so it was probably taken at some venue before a gig, hence no drink...

Bob Daisley took that photo, it's been scanned from his book. No one has asked for or been given Bob's permission to use that photo. Apart from that fact that it's copyrighted, it's not respectful to rip it off and share it! Troy Someone has woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, as ot...

Thanks Shaun, You're right, and that narrows it down.
Cheers,

Thanks Shaun for talking me through how to post photos! Here are a few of the guitar picks that I mentioned (I hope!) Both Jake & Zakk's picks have Ozzy Osbourne on the reverse. Not sure when these will be up for sale, there are several tour programmes coming up as well.

Yeah it's really good to read those postcards! I know that the band had time off for Christmas and then went back to Monmouth until mid-January, then they went to Trans Am in Suffolk to continue writing and trying to find a drummer. I don't know why they moved to Suffolk I can only assume that Monmo...

Not sure what you mean by 'everything that happened in London would now be history' Shaun, Randy arrived at the end of November, they were in Monmouth during December with Spencer on drums. They hadn't been to John Henry's or Shepperton to audition drummers at that point. Well Pete Merton's mention...

It was about 3 miles from my mum's pub to St John's Wood. To try to give you an idea of the area, the hotel that Randy stayed in was near Marble Arch, it took about 5 minutes to walk from there to Jet Records office in Gloucester Place which was near Baker Street station. From there it's a straight ...

I understand why you're asking and it can be confusing. If, for example, EH had come up with the riffs that Randy played in Crazy Train and Randy took credit for writing them, then EH might have a case. But Randy wrote those riffs, some of them might be heard in QR songs but they were Randy's to rew...

It's great to see Frank's postcard, thanks for posting. Randy's talking about the house in Monmouth which is on the border of England and Wales as you no doubt know. Yes, that's where the writing took place with Randy, Ozzy & Bob. They were back there in early January. I don't know where Randy s...
