The career of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne is celebrated with the new collection from Epic Records/Legacy Recordings, Memoirs Of A Madman.

Drummer Tommy Clufetos sat down to discuss the release in this interview clip:

Released on October 7th, 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 and 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 DVD 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.

In addition, an exclusive autographed limited edition fan bundle will be available (pre-order link below). 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 (details here).

 

 

Osbourne's 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 #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; 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”.

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.
