"how thoughtful, how sweet, how nice of Ozzy's record company to release this BARELY 6 MONTHS after the original release of the album...(I'm being sarcastic, just in case you were wondering...) they want people to keep buying CD's and stop illegal downloading, and yet, they keep pulling off dirty tricks such as this one... give me a break!!!



I'm all for supporting the artist (and while I don't personally endorse downloading, as long as it's legal it's ok with me...) and whatever, but really...how do you think most fans who bought the CD back in May will feel seeing this? Or the guys who legally downloaded it `cos they thought they were getting exclusive tracks? Or even worse, the guys who got the imports at higher prices in order to get the extra tracks? Sure, the ULTRA/MEGA diehards with disposable income are not going to mind at all, and they are going to be glad, and they are going to sing praises, never mind the fact that they paid for 2 (or even 3, `cos I know a few freaks who download albums AND also buy the CD's...) versions of the same thing...



Well, here's to 14 bucks of mine the record company is not gonna get...and also, I'm establishing a new policy: I won't buy new CD's for AT LEAST a year after they are released, in order to avoid being ripped off any further by those scumbags...yeah, I'm feeling pretty mad right now, and I have the funny feeling that I'm going to be mad for a while...



I'm going to give Ozzy the benefit of the doubt at this time ("innocent until proven guilty") and blame it on his record company, so my rating has nothing to do with the music, I'm just protesting the release...So obviously, if you didn't buy the CD back in May, this is definitely the version to get, since you're getting 6 extra tracks for a just a couple of extra bucks (althought the live tracks are pretty redundant if you ask me...) I just hope I don't find out that this was another one of Sharon's money making schemes, `cos I'm getting pretty tired of those, too...



Peace to you all

"I agree with "ERICK BERTIN" about this CD. I was really disappointed to find that this is the third version with EXTRA TRACKS included. I purchased the second version which is a Japan Import CD with the extra 2 tracks AND which they say "Only available in the Japan Import CD release." I purchased the CD at Amazon on Sep 2007 for $21.99. And now this version with a BONUS CD!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! I feel like that I was ripped off... They should of done this on the first release.. I bet alot of Ozzy Fans who bought the original CD release in May are feeling the same way too.. I too will wait a year after a new CD release comes out. Who knows how many version will me made after the original release. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!"

Ozzy rocks

"do money grow on trees?

do record companys think that the fans have a secret printer that they print money on?

i hate that they make these 2 cds set after they make the safe mother earth package that i have and the normal cd booklet, now for the extra tracks the true fans and what i mean by true fans are the fans that pay the artist for his hard work and not download the cd for free.

will hate that they dont have this, but also will think a lot about paying again for just few more songs.

i love ozzy songs but i hate that his making all these best of cds that he made in the last 5 yrs and i hate that his making a milk the cow 2 cds set - i hope that ozzy didnt plan this and that this is just another plan from the company or the wife.

the reason for the 5 stars is that i love the music from the 1st cd i dont know anything about the 2nd cd which is a bonus here i didnt buy it yet"
