Find the original release if you can. The re-release in 2002 features re-recorded drums and bass, which do not do justice to the original. The title track gives me goose bumps to this day. Randy Rhodes at his finest. He tragically died in a plane crash shortly after this was released. I still can't understand how Blizzard of Ozz gets so much more airplay (the nauseatingly overplayed Crazy Train) when this is a much superior record IMO.
