On October 5, Epic Records will release an expanded two-CD version of OZZY OSBOURNE’s SCREAM album. This “Tour Edition” package will feature seven bonus songs:previously unreleased tracks and live recordings. Three of the songs–“One More Time” and “Jump The Moon,” plus the never-before-released “Hand of The Enemy”–are from the SCREAM sessions. The other four songs are live tracks–“Bark at the Moon,” “Let Me Hear You Scream” and “No More Tears,” as well as the Black Sabbath nugget “Fairies Wear Boots–that were recorded this year in Folkestone and Birmingham in the U.K. The package will also contain video content including the Jonas Akerlund-directed video for “Let Me Hear You Scream” and behind-the-scenes footage from the set of the video, along with footage documenting the making of the SCREAM album.
Epic will also issue a four-sided vinyl edition that includes five bonus tracks: the three aforementioned songs from the SCREAM sessions and the live version of “Let Me Hear You Scream,” along with the single version of “Life Won't Wait” (the second single from SCREAM).
SCREAM–which entered the charts in June in the Top Ten in more than 10 countries–is OZZY’s first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of the album at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker. It was produced by OZZY and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for OZZY’s 2007 worldwide million-seller Black Rain. OZZY co-wrote all the songs on SCREAM, primarily with Churko. The album’s first single “Let Me Hear You Scream” hit #1 on both Active Rock charts (for two weeks) and #1 at Mainstream Rock (for 11 weeks). SCREAM’s newly released second single “Life Won’t Wait,” is being cited in various reviews as one of the album’s standout tracks. The video for the hard-hitting and melodic life-affirming song was directed by OZZY’s son, Jack Osbourne, and was recently shot at various locations in Los Angeles, including a cemetery in Altadena, CA.
For SCREAM, OZZY has embarked on an 18-month world tour with his band: new guitar player Gus G., bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. His U.S. dates kicked off with an August 12 performance at the 70th anniversary of the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota and he launched this year’s six–city OZZFest on August 14. Overseas shows will be followed by additional U.S. dates, details of which will be announced in the coming weeks.
