Ozzy Prepping Randy Rhoads Footage

With a new album, the returning Ozzfest, two remastered and expanded classic albums and a world tour in the offing it’s a pretty busy time for Ozzy right now, and he’s also just announced that he’s working on two live Randy Rhoads era live films using unreleased and rare footage.

Speaking to Bravewords & Bloody Knuckles Ozzy and Sharon revealed that they were piecing together stuff from the archives right now

"There's two shows that we have in the archives that we are working on right now," Sharon reveals. "Of course in those days, the tapes were like twenty minutes and then you had to change the tape. So we're trying to clean it up, make sense of it. So we are working on it, along with another film we have of Randy. It will all be boxed together and it should be a great piece to have for a real fan. It will be an amazing piece."

And Sharon also revealed a little more about the forthcoming Ozzy remasters of Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman.

Each of the albums looks likely to be expanded, as well as having the contributions of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake restored to the recordings.

"They definitely are coming out this year," Sharon Osbourne told BraveWords.com a few hours ago today (May 19th). "They are coming out for (US) Thanksgiving and they will be on the market then. It's going back to the original recordings with (Bob) Daisley (bass) and (Lee) Kerslake (drums). And there will be a lot of stuff that you haven't heard before in the packages. Like certain conversations that were going on in the studio with the guys just messing around while the tape was still rolling. All of that will be added into it."
