Ozzy Osbourne Readies ‘Memoirs Of A Madman’ Collections
July 23, 2014
This October, the career of rock icon Ozzy osbourne will be celebrated with the Epic Records/Legacy Recordings ‘Memoirs Of A Madman’ collections.
Due out on October 7th, the ‘Memoirs Of A Madman’ CD serves as a career spanning audio release, featuring 17 of Ozzy’s greatest hit singles compiled in one place for the first time in his career. The collection will be available in a single CD, two-LP set and two-LP picture disc set configurations.
The ‘Memoirs Of A Madman’ DVD is a definitive visual two-disc set which includes classic music videos, along with unreleased and out-of-print live performances, plus interviews from his solo career. Both sets offer fans of the multi-platinum recording artist, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and three-time Grammy winning singer and songwriter hours of entertainment from Ozzy’s distinguished solo career. DVD One features more than two dozen of Ozzy’s classic and unforgettable music videos from across his discography, including a bonus alternate version of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and making-of footage from the videos “Let Me Hear You Scream” and “Life Won’t Wait”. DVD Two features live performances and interview clips spanning Ozzy’s solo journey, much of which makes its debut on DVD. Some selections have appeared on long out-of-print VHS releases; others will be seen here for the first time, making this an essential package for fans old and new. Ozzy’s union of music and visuals could not be more perfect, and the ‘Memoirs Of A Madman’ DVD showcases that to brilliant effect.
In addition, an exclusive autographed limited edition fan bundle will be available. This includes an autographed poster, 2 DVD set, CD, 2 LP picture disc vinyl, along with a “Creative Allies” fan designed poster, which will feature an image personally chosen by Ozzy.
Ozzy Osbourne’ ongoing solo career spans four decades — as both a successful solo artist and as the lead singer of Black Sabbath — and his music is as relevant today as ever; it still resonates daily on TV, in movies, on radio and at stadium sports events. Ozzy’s latest solo release — his tenth studio album, 2010’s ‘Scream’ — debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard charts, featuring the #1 Mainstream Rock smash “Let Me Hear You Scream”.
From the first notes of Ozzy’s 1980’s solo debut ‘Blizzard Of Ozz’ and follow-up ‘Diary Of A Madman’ to classic albums ‘No More Tears’ and ‘Scream’, no hard rock solo artist has had quite the same reach as Ozzy Osbourne; his distinctive vocal delivery and larger than life onstage persona quickly endeared him to millions of rockers. Ozzy immediately had the attention of fans of heavy music with rock staples “Crazy Train”, “Mr. Crowley” and “Flying High Again.” With the 1991 release ‘No More Tears’, Ozzy continued his radio success with acclaimed and hugely successful singles “No More Tears” and the smash hit “Mama, I’m Coming Home”.
