Excerpts from original upload notes:
The title "Ozzymosis Sessions" is slightly misleading. Although all of these recordings are related to the "Ozzmosis" album, they are not actually from the sessions for "Ozzmosis". The tracks on this disc come from two projects that preceded the "Ozzmosis" sessions. ..

A. "Ozzyland Sessions" (1993/94) (1-9)

...nine tracks are from sessions Ozzy did with songwriter/producer Mark Hudson (fame Aerosmith & Ringo Starr) for an as-of-yet unreleased album called "OZZYLAND". These sessions most likely took place some time in 1993 or 1994. It is not known where they were recorded.

Personnel (tracks 1-9)
Ozzy Osbourne - Lead & Backing vocals
Mark Hudson - Rhythm guitars, Backing vocals, Keyboards (& Bass guitar?)
Steve Dudas - Lead guitar, Backing vocals (& Bass guitar?)
Drummer unknown


B. "Michael Wagner Sessions" (1992) (10-12)

...three tracks come from sessions done with engineer/producer Michael Wagner in London in 1992. Wagner was hired by Ozzy's record label to produce the intended follow up to "No More Tears". They told him they wanted an album exactly like "No More Tears". Eventually the record company changed their minds and wanted the album to sound more in line with the grunge movement so Wagner was fired and the sessions with him were abandoned. The record execs hired Soundgarden producer Michael Beinhorn who produced Ozzmosis.


Personnel (tracks 10-12) - "No More Tours" Live-Line-up.
Ozzy Osbourne - Vocals
Zakk Wylde - Guitars & Piano
Mike Inez - Bass guitar
John Sinclair - Keyboards
Randy Castillo - Drums

A handful of songs from both sessions were resurrected and re-recorded during the Ozzmosis sessions.

Credits (if they are right):
1-9: (Ozzy Osbourne/Steve Dudas/Mark Hudson)
10-11: (Ozzy Osbourne/Zakk Wylde/John Purdell)
12: (Ozzy O sbourne /Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister/Zakk Wylde)
