Ozzy Ozbourne - Talk Of The Devil (1982)

Live metal albums are generally always worth a purchase because such bands always put on fine performances, and 'Talk Of The Devil' is no exception. Recorded in the September of 1982, with musicians Brad Gillis, Rudi Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge, 'Talk...' reamins one of Ozzy's finest moments in my opinion, blessed with a typically over the top sleeve, as Ozzy leers from a runic frame, spewing out what looks all the world like strawberry jam.
This is a double album showcasing many of the classic tracks Ozzy did with Black Sabbath. What's the point of such an album, I hear you ask ? Well, just fun I guess, Ozzy proving just what Sabbath were missing when he left.
We get the usual Sab' slabs, 'War Pigs', 'Iron Man', 'Paranoid', The Wizard', Snowblind', 'Black Sabbath', etc, no surprises here, and with Ozzy screaming a million "I Love Yous" to the crowd, it remains an essential purchase.
