It has been 40 years since the godfather of heavy metal Ozzy Osbourne released his debut solo album Blizzard Of Ozz. Now, the singer is marking the occasion by releasing an expanded edition of the album.

The album will land on the streaming platforms on Friday, September 18. Apart from the original songs, such as “Crazy Train”, “Mr. Crowley”, and “Suicide Solution”, the album will include the bonus tracks “You Looking At Me, Looking At You” (originally the B-side to “Crazy Train”), “Goodbye to Romance” (2010 Guitar & Vocal Mix) and album outtake “RR”.

The album will also include 7 live songs from the Blizzard Of Ozz tour, songs like “You Said It All”, “Steal Away”, and “Revelation”.

In addition, two live concert movies: Live & Loud from 1993 and Live at Budokan form 2002, which were only available on VHS/DVD till now will also be released in a digital version. These movies are hard to come by online.

Last month, Osbourne made it clear that he is not going anywhere. “You know the time when I will retire? When I can hear them nail a lid on my box,” he said. “And then I’ll fucking do an encore. I’m the Prince Of Darkness.”
