I have never been the biggest Ozzy fan but I disagree here. I bought "Reunion" out of habit really, I´ve got everything else and I thought it would be crap. Instead what I was delighted to hear were outstanding versions of Ozzy-era songs, top notch performances all round and a damn good mix. And lots of surprises to (fairies wear) boot!

I personally prefer the Dio/Hughes/Martin stuff. Real singers, y´know? Mob Rules, Seventh Star, Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, Tyr... all phenomenal.

Re: Sabs history. Anyone remember a guy called David Donato? He predated Ray Gillen in the frame, there were a couple of interviews in Kerrang during the time. Anyone know if he recorded anything with ém? And whatever happened to him?

Anyone remember the "Tom Jones joins BS" april fool? That ran for about a year I think...!
