Black Sabbath's debut and Paranoid are two of my favorite heavy albums of all time. Ozzy was only 22 when the debut was recorded! These Rhino High Fidelity reissues sound so good! #BlackSabbath #OzzyOsbourne #Paranoid #vinylrecords

Ozzy was working on Patient Number 9 right after Ordinary Man with Andrew Watt producing. This time he has some friends along, Jeff Beck, Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Zakk Wylde. Its also the longest of his solo albums at 61 minutes. Ozzy is Immortal! #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

Ordinary Man was an unexpected album from Ozzy with Andrew Watt producing and playing guitar. Duff McKagan on bass and Chad Smith on drumsas well. It's probably his best in a long time. #OzzyOsbourne #OrdinaryMan #vinylrecords

Scream, released in 2010 was another album with Kevin Churko. It's the only album with Gus G on guitar. Some great songs here like Let Me Hear You Scream, Soul Sucker and Diggin' Me Down. I saw him on this tour and it was a blast! #OzzyOsbourne #Scream #vinylrecords

Black Rain is the 10th studio solo album released by Ozzy. This time he teamed up with Kevin Churko and Zakk was involved in the writing on this one as well. You get some good Ozzy anthems here like I Don't Wanna Stop and Not Going Away. #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

Live At Budokan is Ozzy's last live album released (so far) and is great with a killer line up: Zakk, Rob Trujillo and Mike Bordin. It has a good selection his best songs from I Don't Know to Road To Nowhere. My wife saw him around this time in 2003. #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

Down To Earth is Ozzy Osbourne l's 8th album released in 2001. Ozzy was writing with Tim Palmer and Marti Frederiksen. Zakk did not contribute to the writing and we get a different style as a result. Ozzy has said Dreamer was inspired by John Lennon's Imagine. #vinylrecords

Ozzy only released two studio albums in the 90's but they were both top notch. Ozzmosis contains a number of "modern" Ozzy classics like Perry Mason, I Just Want You, Tomorrow and See You On The Other Side. #OzzyOsbourne #Ozzmosis #vinylrecords

Ozzy hit it big in the early 90's with No More Tears, a fantastic album and song that got a lot of radio play. Live And Loud is another great live Ozzy album recorded in 92 and were supposed to be his final live performances. Thankfully they weren't. #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

1988's No Rest For The Wicked marked a new era for Ozzy with Zakk Wylde. He would be the longest lasting guitarist for Ozzy and there till the end on Patient Number 9. Just Say Ozzy is a good quick live album of the early Zakk days. #OzzyOsbourne

Speak Of The Devil is the only Ozzy album never reissued. Seen as something record execs wanted and done as a contractual obligation its still a great live album and brings a different edge to those Sabbath songs with Brad Gillis on guitar after Randy's death. #Vinylrecords

Randy Rhoads was an immense talent and the perfect match for Ozzy. The Mr. Crowley EP was recorded on their first tour in 1980 and most of Tribute in 1981. Randy had such a future ahead of him. What a senseless loss. #OzzyOsbourne #RandyRhoads #vinylrecords

After the tragic loss of the great Randy Rhoads there were big shoes to fill and Jake E. Lee did his best to do so. Bark At The Moon and The Ultimate Sin are great albums furthering Ozzy's imagery with the cool cover art on both albums. #OzzyOsbourne

Back to vinyl and of course I had to get into Ozzy's See You On The Other Side box set. The box is a thing of beauty! The first 2 Ozzy albums are perfection and such a comeback after being fired from Sabbath. Instant legend. #OzzyOsbourne #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide #vinylrecords

We took a trip to Pelee Island the other day. Its an hour and a half ferry ride to get there and you can rent golf carts to tour around the island with. Topped it off with good food from 1891 Stonehouse. #CottageLife #PeleeIsland #LakeErie

We are coming to the last fee days of our vacation. It's a cool breezy day on the lake today. I love the sunsets out here! #CottageLife #LakeErie #PointPelee

Another beautiful night on Lake Erie! #CottageLife #LakeErie #PointPelee

I've been spending the last few weeks of July at the lake for nearly 20 years and it's always beautiful and a great time. The other night was nice, having a fire while watching a thunderstorm over the lake. I've also come across a number of animal friends, no skinks yet though.

There was a cruise ship at the beach today! One week left until back to the grind...and vinyl! #CottageLife #LakeErie #PointPelee

Took a trip to Chatham and stopped by Suite 46 for dinner. Its attached to the Retro Suites hotel which has themes room and cool vintage decor. Great place! #CottageLife #Chatham #Suite46

Took a trip to Erieau yesterday. Stopped by Bayside Brewing for good eats and great beer. It's always nice sitting on their patio by the bay. Erieau is a beautiful little town made possible by Hartley Vidler who bought 88 acres from C&0 railroad. #CottageLife #Erieau #LakeErie

Another beautiful day on the lake! A drink in hand and more Ozzy playing, it's bittersweet. #CottageLife #LakeErie #PointPelee

I stayed up way too late celebrating Ozzy's music and now my neighbor is cranking up the Sabbath. No complaints from me! What an amazing legacy and worldwide legion of fans Ozzy created! #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath #RIPOzzyOsbourne

Still cranking the Ozzy at 3am by the fire. This version of War Pigs has different lyrics. Love you Ozzy!! #RIPOzzyOsbourne

Ozzy's first two solo albums are especially good. RIP Randy Rhoads and Ozzy Osbourne. #RIPOzzyOsbourne

I had to pull this one from YouTube, Road To Nowhere. Ozzy has so many great songs! A cool night on the lake with Ozzy. #OzzyOsbourne

Ozzy sure did change the world! This album was in heavy rotation when it came out and it remains so to this day! Ozzy dominated every decade regardless of changes in rock over the years. Gonna miss him! #OzzyOsbourne #OzzyOsbourneRIP #IDontWantToChangeTheWorld

I can't pay a proper tribute to The Prince Of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne without my records but for now I will play his music on my phone while having a fire. Thanks for everything Oz! #OzzyOsbourne #YouCantKillRockNRoll

When No Rest For The Wicked came out it was a big deal for me. The video Miracle Man was played regularly on CBC's Video Hits and I loved it. This was the first Ozzy album I had bought. #OzzyOsbourne #MiracleMan

I'm still reeling from the loss of Ozzy. Thinking back to how it all started, 7 year me heard Crazy Train on the radio and I was hooked. I taped it on cassette and got my friend to bring his portable cassette player to school and played it every recess. #OzzyOsbourne #CrazyTrain

I can't believe Ozzy is gone..this is so devastating. Of course he had various health issues but I never saw this coming so soon.. Ozzy is probably the biggest musical influence in my life from Sabbath to his solo years, rarely a week went by without him. #OzzyOsbourneRIP

It's cottage time again on Lake Erie near Point Pelee. Always beautiful and a great time with family and friends! Went to the southern most tip of Canada and climbed the 24 metre observation tower, nice views! #CottageLife #PointPelee #LakeErie

Jefferson Airplane's fourth album Crown Of Creation continued their psych greatness and had a song written by David Crosby about a threesome. One of my favorite albums of the late 60's. Original Canadian press. #JeffersonAirplane #CrownOfCreation #vinylrecords

Outsideinside is Blue Cheer's second album released in 1968. A blistering fuzzy psychedelic blues masterpiece! Love this record and this band. #BlueCheer #Outsideinside #vinylrecords

One more from Venom, their debut Welcome To Hell from 1981. It was really more of a demo and isn't recorded well. Still balls to the wall heavy and fast. Their overt satanic lyrics drew the attention of the PMRC and the like. #Venom #WelcomeToHell #vinylrecords

Venom's 2nd album Black Metal was a big inspiration to the thrash and death metal scene that would soon erupt. This is fast, dark and menacing. Blood Lust is crazy. Cover is trashed but the vinyl is minty on this US first press. #Venom #BlackMetal #vinylrecords

Diary Of A Madman is another Ozzy classic. Randy smokes on this one. I finally had a chance to watch the Ozzy/Sabbath part of the live stream and it was very emotional, an end of an era though I think we will get more music from the Ozzman yet. #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

One more Sabbath classic with Vol4! Like Henry Rollins said, you can only trust yourself and the six first Black Sabbath albums. #BlackSabbath #Vol4 #vinylrecords

More Sabbath swirl goodness! Master Of Reality is the album where Tony perfected the fuzzy guitar tone I think. Bands continue to try and emulate this sound to this this day! A perfect album front to back! #BlackSabbath #MasterOfReality #vinylrecords

Time to spin some Sabbath! This is first UK press with Big Bear in the credits. You can't beat these Vertigo originals. I am so glad I got to see them in 2014 touring for 13. Amazing show! I have yet to watch yesterday's show but I hear it was great. #BlackSabbath #vinylrecords

Spinning Ozzy today as he is performing live for the last time in his hometown of Birmingham. Ozzy has always been there for me, my heavy metal dad. I wish I had seen him live more. Only once solo and once with Sabbath. He is truly one of a kind. #OzzyOsbourne #vinylrecords

The Tangerine Zoo is a lesser known psych band that was part of the Bosstown sound. Their self titled debut has a wild cover of Gloria and is pretty good. Sundazed knocks it out of the park with this reissue. #TheTangerineZoo #vinylrecords

America's 2nd album Homecoming is one of their best and probably my favorite. Ventura Highway is so good! This Japanese press sounds awesome! Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! #America #Homecoming #Happy4thofJuly #vinylrecords

Surrealistic Pillow was impossible to follow but After Bathing At Baxter's released 10 months later is one of the best among so many amazing albums of 1967. They were embracing the psychedelic and it paid off. This original US mono sounds great! #JeffersonAirplane #vinylrecords

Music For Pleasure is The Damned's second album released in 1977, the same year as their debut. For some reason this album doesn't get mentioned with their other classic albums but it's great. Problem Child gets the head banging! #TheDamned #MusicForPleasure #vinylrecords

Happy Canada Day to all! Hope all the Canadians out there have a great day with food, fun and family! Currently spinning some of my Canadian favorites. #HappyCanadaDay #TheTragicallyHip #AprilWine #TheGuessWho #vinylrecords

The Beatles Revolver album is one of my all time favorites ever and I never get tired of spinning it. This time a red Odeon Japanese press. Sounds fab! #TheBeatles #Revolver #vinylrecords

This Beach Boys comp, Sounds Of Summer is a great summary of their career. When I hear songs like California Girls or Surfin U.S.A. I am transported to a different time and place. Sounds great too despite being digital sources. #TheBeachBoys #SoundsOfSummer #vinylrecords

Strawberry Alarm Clock's Incense And Peppermints album is a psych favorite! This Sundazed reissue cut by Kevin Gray sounds great! Poisoned dreams distorted dreams mushroom dreams.. #StrawberryAlarmClock #IncenseAndPeppermints #vinylrecords

This is a great Stranglers comp only released in the UK and Europe that covers their best years, 1977 to 1982. Terrible cover though. #TheStranglers #TheCollection #vinylrecords
