The Toppermost piece I wrote on American Music Club in July 2018 has been updated with the missing Spotify links now all albums are on there. With reissues of the first 4 albums due in 2020, there's never been a better time to delve into their wonderful back catalogue.

RIP Ozzy 🤘😢
He walked into The Crown as John Osbourne. He walked out of The Crown as Ozzy Osbourne - Birmingham's Eternal Prince of Darkness. Save The Crown. We'll never have another Ozzy. But we can give the world opportunity to experience the transformative Black Magick in those walls. 🖤
