Brief History of Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne

Classic rock talk by The Classic Rock Addict.This episode was recorded on July 22, 2025- the day of Ozzy Osburne's death. I was preparing this podcast when I got the sad news. Black Sabbath with Ozzy was probably my #2 favorite band behind Led Zeppelin, so the news hit me pretty hard. I recorded the podcast with a heavy heart as, like Ozzy, I felt like the show must go on. This is just a brief history of the band- many books will be written. All the Black Sabbath music on this podcast was recorded from my vinyl collection. Enjoy!ABOUT MEHello- I'm Mark Patrick, a self-professed Classic Rock addict… I grew up in the 70s, when some of the greatest rock music ever recorded, was on the radio… and at your local record store! I’ve built an extensive vinyl collection over the past few years of all the classic albums I remember…and I’ve discovered even more during my hundreds of hours digging through rock history. If you’re into record collecting, I’ll guide you to the must-haves for your collection, because, you  know, you can’t buy them all.  Or, if you're just into classic rock … I’ll share some of the very interesting stories behind the music.
