Notes
  • This album known as "Talk of the Devil" outside of the US.
  • The album of "Sabbath covers" was Ozzy's idea, as he was contractually obligated to deliver this, and he didn't want Randy's name & work on an album called "Speak of the Devil".
  • Sweet Leaf does not appear on all versions.  Some of the earliest prints of the album omitted this song due to "compact disc programming limitations".
  • Recorded live at the Ritz, New York, New York on September 26 & 27, 1982.
  • The band had only a couple of days to rehearse and learn all these songs (it shows in places).
  • In April 2002, this album was deleted from the Ozzy catalog and is no longer being made.

Artwork/Images
  • The Talk of the Devil cover and the Speak of the Devil cover are extremely similar - in fact the only difference appears to be the difference in word between "Talk" & "Speak".
