Nellys Info:

- Knew I had this one somewhere.
- No idea who recorded this or on what as I think I traded it with someone at a record fair. That aside, it's a decent audience recording.
- And whoever did record it did well to actually get the recorder in as I remember security was strict that day: thorough bag and body searches, unusual at a UK festival back them.
- This is a cracking set and the band are in great form. I suspect that this would have been the first time 'Believer' and 'Flying High Again' were heard on UK soil.

GManOF Info:

- My special thanks go to Nelly Duke for releasing his Version on August 2nd, 2025 !
- This is a tracked version from Nellys release.
- Tape was running a bit too slow, made a speed correction. This time with Audacity which brings very good results.
- Heavy Metal Holocaust Festival, featuring Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne, Mahogany Rush, Triumph, Riot and Vardis.
- Cut after Drum Solo - Tommy Aldridge.
- This is Source 4 for me. There's also Source 1 (Gardener Remaster, unknown Gen.,61:24), Source 2 (mikesline raw, incomplete, unknown Gen., 60:07) and Source 3 (GManOF, 61:16) circulating.

- Ozzy says ... fucking hell ... before Believer.
- Ozzy says ... let me hear you fuckers ... before Flying High Again.
- Ozzy says ... I understand Black Sabbath promised to make this Gig tonight ... before Iron Man.
- Ozzy says ... we love you all ... after Paranoid.
