Notes
  • The original version of this album lists the recording personnel as Ozzy/Randy/Don Airey/Rudy Sarzo/Tommy Aldridge, but Sarzo & Aldridge didn't play anything on the album - something they duplicated on Whitesnake's 1987 CD.  Sarzo & Aldridge are credited, but the bass & drum bits were played by Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake.
  • The Live version of I Don't Know on the 2002 version originally appeared as a B-Side to the "Flying High Again" single.
  • There is a widely spread and believed story that this album was recorded at the same time Blizzard of Ozz was.  It was not - they were recorded separately.
  • After recording the album (but before it was released), Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake were fired, and Rudy Sarzo & Tommy Aldridge's pictures were put on the album as having played on it - they didn't.
  • Same thing goes for Don Airey.  For the longest time it was assumed by this website's author that it was Don Airey, but in Oct 2005 it was discovered it was really Johnny Cook, not Don Airey who played keyboards on this album. [ Source ]
