Legacy Recordings is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne‘s third studio album, Bark At The Moon, by releasing it on translucent cobalt blue vinyl on November 17th, it available for pre-order, here.
Bark At The Moon was the first Ozzy album to feature guitarist Jake E. Lee after the tragic loss of guitarist Randy Rhoads and had a slightly different musical approach than Osbourne’s first two studio releases.
Originally released around Halloween of 1983, the LP featured Rock And Roll Rebel, Waiting For Darkness, Centre Of Eternity and the title track, which was featured prominently on MTV.
This remastered edition features a replica of the poster that was include in the initial pressings of the album.
Side A:

3. Now You See It (Now You Don’t)
4. Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebel
Side B:
1. Centre Of Eternity
2. So Tired
3. Slow Down
4. Waiting For Darkness
The LP is also the inspiration for a new Funko Pop! figure. It features a flocked vinyl Ozzy, transformed into a werewolf and standing 3.9″ tall, standing in front of the cover art from the album, and housed in a protective hard case.
Bark At The Moon peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard album chart and within several weeks of release was certified gold for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States. To date, it has sold over three million copies in the United States.
The album was remastered on CD in 1995 and again (with a different mix) in 2002.

Sweet! Been trying to get a decent copy at a reasonable price for years with no luck. I’ll be picking this one up for sure.
Great album . Saw this tour at the cow palace in San Francisco , it was my first arena show.
Side note , does anybody remember when Ozzy was on solid gold doing bark at the moon ? Featuring Carmine Appice and Bob Daisley.

I believe he did so tired also on solid gold.
Ray,
That’s awesome, thank you.
I was kind of hoping to see the Solid Gold Dancers wearing werewolf masks and dancing around….
(sad face)
I bought the See You On The Other Side vinyl box set several years ago. It’s spectacular. I was getting ready to criticize the Ozzy camp for re-releasing the same records over and over but he has put out two new albums over the past few years so I won’t criticize! Lol
Unfortunately it says it’s sold out.
I will change the link.
