Here we are comparing the original vs the remastered album, Tribute.  Ozzy reissued all the old albums with a dumb cover art using the original xover art in a tiny frame in the middles and the name “OZZY” along the left side of the cover.  Not only that, it got the remaster treatment.  “22 bit digital re-master” is proudly displayed on the spine.

A few things that stand out here.  It’s no surprise that the albums is louder.  BUT, it isn’t brickwalled, which is actually commendable.  Oddly, there didn’t touch the Dee studio outtakes at the end of album.  However, they really messed around with the track indexing.  Considering this is a live album, it’s probably the difference between starting a song with dialog or just the music.  Strange.
