I see that it's not in this round, but is The Ultimate Sin going to be re-released as well?
I have the original version, and the mastering REALLY sucks.
I've been thiking about picking up the 20 bit remaster, but never bothered.
If there's going to be an even more expanded version, then I'll keep holding off.
Thanks.

Last night I heard "Shot in the Dark" on the radio twice! I guess there is some hope left for the world after all.
I'll be getting Tribute, but I already have the other two, and the extra live tracks aren't that big a deal for me overall.

They looked so awful I wouldn't buy them.
The new editions sound pretty nice, though. Hopefully the CD clubs will have them.

I love Ozzy's music, but this is the reason Napster happened. Releasing albums for the third team with one or two new songs on them. Expecting fans to buy these again is ludicrous.

Since I own all of the current remasters, I will be holding off this time around. That is, unless there is compelling evidence of superior sound quality.
I am very happy with the audio quality of the current remasters.

I'm actually excited - "You Said It All" has NEVER been released on CD before! Not even as a b-side!
I'm hoping to get "One Up The B-Side" as a bonus track for Bark At The Moon. It's better than all but "Bark At The Moon" and "Rock and Roll Rebel" on that album.
I'm really looking forward to these reiussues. I'm just hoping that the SOUND quality is as good as the last batch - on that account those remasters were fantastic!!

This is particularly irritating because the catalogs of so many other artists on the Sony labels have never been remastered and are in desperate need of upgrading. The '95 Ozzy remasters sound terrific; I don't think the new versions will improve on them to any great degree. Sony should just release an Ozzy b-sides/rarities collection.
