Just Say Ozzy is a live EP by Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on 5 March 1990[2] and entered the UK charts on 17 March, reaching number 69.[3] The EP was remastered and reissued on 22 August 1995.
The sleeve states that Just Say Ozzy was recorded at London's Brixton Academy in November 1989.
Just Say Ozzy was remastered in 1995, along with the rest of the singer's catalogue. However, the EP —along with Speak of the Devil, The Ultimate Sin and Live & Loud —has since been deleted from Ozzy's catalogue and was not remastered and reissued with the rest of Ozzy's catalogue in 2002. This is mainly due to a continuing legal struggle with bassist/songwriter Phil Soussan over the song "Shot in the Dark".
Just Say Ozzy peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200[4] and was certified Gold on July 21, 1993.[5]
The tracks "Sweet Leaf" and "War Pigs" were composed and originally recorded by Black Sabbath, the group Osbourne fronted in the 1970s.
Guitarist Zakk Wylde can be seen on the cover of the record spraying "Ozzy" on the wall.
