The last record in the box set sounds fantastic. I'm very pleased that they included the alternate cover version of Patient Number 9! Now I have them both.

All in all, the record pressings in the box set are all excellent. Barely any surface noise in any of the records.

I’m very tempted. They’ve released a track (Strange Face 1st Sound Technique Session) as a taster and it sounds beautiful. #NickDrake #vinyl #boxset

Tribute was my introduction to Ozzy and it was the very first live album I ever heard and bought with my own (allowance) money when I was in high school.

Hence it is my favorite live album overall (across any artist). The lineup is perfect and so is the sound.

Enjoying Ozzy's compilation of b-sides. All of these were previously made available as bonus tracks to other album reissues. Lots of great tracks and my favorite ones are "Don't Blame Me", "Hero" and "Walk on Water".

This album brings back a lot of nostalgia. I first bought it on CD in 1995 while starting my engineering career—a stressful time and this album was my escape.

This was also when Ozzy first talked about retiring, and the tour was meant to be a farewell.

43 years ago the world lost a very talented musician.

This EP has the only ever released version of "You Said It All" (recorded live at Southampton, England in 1980).
