Ozzy Osbourne to Rerelease Diary and Blizzard

Ozzy Osbourne will rerelease Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman on May 31. Here is some information from the press release:

On May 31, music fans will have their first taste of re-issues from rock icon OZZY OSBOURNE’s catalog of work with the releases of two albums which form the cornerstone of Ozzy Osbourne's career as a solo artist: Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman (Epic Records/Legacy Recordings). Long revered by rock fans around the world, these two albums created a template for hard rock in the 1980's and beyond as they were marked by the ground-breaking and historic union of Ozzy and the late guitar hero Randy Rhoads. These definitive versions of 1980's Blizzard of Ozz (with previously unreleased bonus tracks) and 1981's Diary of a Madman are available individually on vinyl or CD, or together in a deluxe collector's box. All versions were restored and remastered from the original analog sources by George Marino.

These things usually go one of two ways: legit remaster and it sounds great or they only increase the gain levels and it sounds like a louder version of the album. I will hope for the former because these records, while having timeless songs, audio wise are terrible. 

Now here is a picture of Ben Sommer remastering his album America'd. Review here.

Increase the Gain
