This photo was part of this promo pack. Its strange how Ozzy's name has been cut out from the photo. Did he know some thing about the future of the 'Blizzard of Ozz' band name.

I wonder if there's still more photos from session for the Blizzard Of Ozz' s back cover...? Bob speaks about the photo session in his book...

A photo from that session ended up in the 1981 USA Blizzard tour programme. Ozzy is wearing the same clothes blue jacket and red shirt. He's standing in the window at Clearwell castle. I'm assuming the shoot was done there as a similar photo of the window from the outside is in Bobs book. A photo was in the centre pages of the 1980 UK tour book. The weird thing about that photo is Randy looks like a ghost. The image is opaque almost..
