}} ''Ozzmosis'' is the seventh solo studio album by English heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne. Recorded in Paris and New York with producer Michael Beinhorn, it was released on 24 October 1995 by Epic Records. The album reached number 22 on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US ''Billboard'' 200. "Perry Mason", "See You on the Other Side" and "I Just Want You" were released as singles. After the release of his sixth album ''No More Tears'' in 1991, Osbourne announced that he would retire from music. However, he returned with ''Ozzmosis'' in 1995, which featured long-time guitarist Zakk Wylde as well as former Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Deen Castronovo and keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The release received mixed reviews from critics. ''Ozzmosis'' was one of many Osbourne albums remastered and reissued in 2002. The reissue featured bonus tracks "Whole World's Fallin' Down" and "Aimee", originally released as B-sides to "Perry Mason" and "See You on the Other Side", respectively. The album has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and has sold over 3 million copies. ==Recording and production== Recording for ''Ozzmosis'' took place at Guillaume Tell Studios in Paris, France, Right Track Recording and Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York. Production was led by Michael Beinhorn, with Paul Northfield engineering and David Bianco mixing the album.〔 Writing credits on the album alongside Osbourne, guitarist Zakk Wylde and bassist Geezer Butler include John Purdell, Jim Vallance, Mark Hudson, Steve Dudas, Lemmy Kilmister, Duane Baron and Steve Vai.〔 ''Ozzmosis'' was the first and only Ozzy Osbourne album to feature Butler, drummer Deen Castronovo and keyboardist Rick Wakeman. Guitars were performed by Osbourne's long-time band member Wylde; Steve Vai was originally slated to perform guitar on the album after writing a number of songs with Osbourne in 1994 (of which only "My Little Man" remained), but left the project reportedly due to a "falling out" with the singer. Prior to Beinhorn's involvement in the project, ''Ozzmosis'' was due to be produced by Michael Wagener, who had mixed Osbourne's previous album, ''No More Tears''. A number of songs were recorded with Wagener, as well as a different lineup of the band including bassist Mike Inez and drummer Randy Castillo, reportedly with the intention of making the album sound similar to ''No More Tears''; however, with seven songs completed, Epic Records allegedly requested a change in production style and replaced Wagener with Beinhorn.〔 Of Wagener's produced material, "Perry Mason", "See You on the Other Side", "Tomorrow" and "Old LA Tonight" were re-recorded with Beinhorn, "Aimee" and "Living with the Enemy" were released as B-sides, and "Slow Burn" remained unreleased; Wagener's version of "See You on the Other Side" was later released on 2004 box set ''Prince of Darkness'' and his demo of "Perry Mason" was released in 2005.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ozzmosis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
