The Essential Ozzy Osbourne is a compilation album by British heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne , released in 2003. It reached No. 81 on US charts[4] and No. 21 in the UK.[5] Tracks featured here from the first two albums are the re-recorded versions from recent reissues (see Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman ) as well as the remixed Bark at the Moon tracks.[citation needed ] The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 5 February 2005 with an excess of 500,000 copies sold,[6] then certified Platinum by the RIAA on 3 March 2016.[7] This compilation was re-released in 2009 as a Limited Edition 3.0 package with an additional disc of bonus songs that were not on the original release.
The album tracks from Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman are from the 2002 remasters, for which they were partially re-recorded. The original drum and bass tracks were replaced with recordings by Osbourne's then-current bassist Robert Trujillo and drummer Mike Bordin , as a management response to legal action by original bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake for unpaid royalty fees.
It does not feature any material from 1986's The Ultimate Sin .
