Flyer/Handbill: OZZY OSBOURNE 'BLIZZARD OF OZZ' JET RECORDS PROMOTIONAL FLYER 1980 - AUTOGRAPHED

FLYER WAS HANDED OUT ON THE UK TOUR, DUE TO THE BLIZZARD OF OZZ ALBUM NOT BEING RELEASED IN EARLY AUGUST AS ADVERTISED IN TIME FOR THE TOUR!

THIS IS BELIEVED BECAUSE OF BOTH OZZY OSBOURNE AND SHARON OSBOURNE NOW OZZY'S MANAGER AND LATER WIFE IN 1982 WENT BEHIND THE REST OF THE BAND'S BACKS AND STOPPED THE ORIGINAL ALBUM BEING RELEASED SO THEY COULD CHANGED AND RE-DESIGN THE ALBUM COVER SO THAT IT FEATURED JUST OZZY OSBOURNE ON IT AND NOT THE OTHER THREE MEMBERS OF THE BAND RANDY RHOADS, BOB DAISLEY & LEE KERSLAKE.

THE LETTERING WAS ALSO RE-DESIGNED SO THAT OZZY OSBOURNE NAME WAS NOW IN LARGE LETTERING AND THE BAND'S NAME BLIZZARD OF OZ NOW BECAME THE NAME OF THE ALBUM, MAKING THE ALBUM NOW LOOK LIKE A OZZY OSBOURNE SOLO ALBUM AND NOT THE SHARED BAND ALBUM THAT THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BAND BELIEVED WAS BEING RELEASED!

"FLYER WAS HANDED OUT WHEN OZZY OSBOURNE/ BLIZZARD OF OZZ PLAYED THE HAMMERSMITH ODEON ON THE 20th SEPTEMBER 1980, THE SAME DAY THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED!

FLYER WAS AUTOGRAPHED THE SAME NIGHT AS THE CONCERT BY ALL FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF OZZY OSBOURNE/ BLIZZARD OF OZZ IN PERSON.

HAD TO WAIT ALMOST ANOTHER HOUR FOR OZZY TO SIGN FLYER AFT ER RANDY RHOADS, BOB DAISLEY & LEE KERSLAKE HAD SIGNED IT AND LEFT.

SO IT WAS PROBABLY JUST AS WELL THAT AT THE TIME NO ONE KNEW HOW BADLY OZZY & SHARON OSBOURNE HAD BEHAVED OR I WOULDN'T HAVE BOTHERED WAITING AND GETTING OZZY'S AUTOGRAPH!"

FLYER IS APPROXIMATELY 7 x 11 INCHES.

FLYER HAS FOLDS AND SOME WEAR ON THE EDGES BUT OVERALL FOR IT'S AGE 40 YEARS PRETTY GOOD CONDITION (SEE PHOTO SCANS).

FLYER DOES COME WITH LETTER OF AUTHENTICATION THAT VERIFIES THAT ALL FOUR AUTOGRAPHS ARE GENUINE
