AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional and fully complete original 1984 Japanese pressing of Ozzy Osbourne's Prince Of Darkness, issued on Jet Records under catalogue number 20AP 2887. This was a special Japan-only 4-track 12-inch EP, produced during the Bark At The Moon era and presented with a significantly more elaborate set of extras than the standard international Ozzy releases of the period. The EP brings together three non-album and B-side recordings with a live performance: "You, Looking At Me Looking At You," "One Up The 'B' Side," "Slow Down," and "Bark At The Moon" – Live, the latter recorded in Salt Lake City on March 18, 1984, placing this release right in the middle of the classic Jake E. Lee-era Ozzy period.
What makes this example particularly attractive is its exceptional level of completeness and preservation. The original picture sleeve remains inside its opened original shrink wrap, and the Japanese extras that are so often separated from surviving copies are still present and intact. Period documentation confirms that the Japanese 20AP 2887 release was originally issued with the postcard set and special inserts, making complete examples particularly appealing to dedicated Ozzy collectors.
⸻
Sleeve (NM):
The picture sleeve is in exceptional condition, presenting remarkably cleanly with virtually no significant wear. It remains protected by its original shrink wrap, which is still present on the copy.
Insert / Inner:
Complete with original "Hard N Heavy" OBI strip, original intact sheet of 4 Ozzy postcards, original Japanese insert card, and original English text and lyric insert. All materials remain in excellent condition and substantially add to the presentation of this copy.
Vinyl (NM):
A superb example which appears completely unplayed, retaining a beautiful deep original gloss with no meaningful evidence of previous use. Conservatively graded Near Mint despite its apparently unplayed condition.
