Ozzy Osbourne - Speak Of The Devil [320k MP3]

Speak of the Devil is a live album by English heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. The album consists entirely of renditions of songs originally recorded by Osbourne's previous band Black Sabbath. It was released on 27 November 1982. The album was entitled Talk of the Devil in the UK, that being the more commonly expressed idiom there. The album sleeve states that it was recorded at The Ritz in New York on 26 and 27 September 1982, though this may not be entirely correct. In a June, 2007, interview with producer/engineer Max Norman posted at KNAC.COM, he states that the album features 3 songs that were recorded during the rehearsal for the show rather than the show itself, with crowd noise later added in postproduction. Norman did not specifically identify to which songs he was referring. This is the only official Osbourne recording to feature Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis, who had temporarily stepped in for the recently deceased Randy Rhoads following Bernie Torme's brief stint in the band. However, Gillis did tour with Osbourne during this time period, and the group did play material from Osbourne's first two solo albums during this tour. The original CD release of Speak of the Devil omitted "Sweet Leaf", presumably due to time constraints. It was, however, reinstated for the 1995 reissue of the album.
