Shy (band)
Shy were a British metal band formed in 1980 under the name "Trojan", hailing from Birmingham, England. Biography Formerly known as Trojan (not to be confused with NWOBHM band Tröjan who released the album ''Chasing the Storm''), Shy featured vocalist Tony Mills, Steve Harris (guitars) (not to be confused with Iron Maiden's bass player, Steve Harris), Paddy McKenna (keyboards), Mark Badrick ( bass) and drummer Alan Kelly. Their first album, called ''Once Bitten...Twice...'', was released in 1983. Initial reports from ''Kerrang!'' were positive. After the release, Mills dropped his David Bowie-esque make up, and Mark Badrick was replaced by former Trouble bassist Roy Davies. Shy made their major label debut on RCA Records with 1985's ''Brave the Storm''.

Live & Loud
''Live & Loud'' is a live album recorded by the former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 28 June 1993. At the time, it was to be Osbourne's final album following Osbourne's final tour before retiring, aptly titled "No More Tours". The track "Black Sabbath" featured the original line-up of Black Sabbath, the members of which were invited to join Ozzy as guest stars for the Costa Mesa Reunion shows. In addition to the standard release in a 'fat-boy' 2CD case, the album was released as a digipak with a metal 'speaker grille' cover and included tattoos, as well as the booklet; the official release was preceded by a single CD sampler issued as a promotional item. A DVD of ''Live & Loud'' was also issued, one of the very first music compilation released in that format. The DVD is a compilation of live footage from several shows rather than a single concert: this is evident as Osbourne can be seen both shirtless and wearing different clothes during the same song, while ...

Just Say Ozzy
''Just Say Ozzy'' is a live EP by Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on March 17, 1990 and was remastered on August 22, 1995. Overview The sleeve states that ''Just Say Ozzy'' was recorded at London's Brixton Academy in November 1989. However, no known dates correspond ( the tour ended in August 1989 in Moscow), and the music appears to have been re-recorded and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York with engineer Adam Yellin with the audience noise and some tracks kept from the original live recording. ''Just Say Ozzy'' was remastered in 1995 along with the rest of the singer's catalog. However, the EP —along with ''Speak Of The Devil'', ''The Ultimate Sin'' and ''Live & Loud'' —has since been deleted from Ozzy's catalog and was not remastered and reissued with the rest of Ozzy's catalog 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 ...

Equator (Uriah Heep Album)
''Equator'' is the sixteenth studio album by English rock band Uriah Heep, released in 1985. It marked the studio return of bassist Trevor Bolder, who had rejoined the band for the ''Head First'' tour. The band also had a new record label, Portrait Records, a subsidiary of CBS. Equator was also the last Uriah Heep album to feature vocalist Peter Goalby & keyboardist John Sinclair. The tour programme would be Heep's last in the UK until the ''Wake the Sleeper'' tour, which began in 2008. When the Heep back catalogue was issued on CD in the early 1990s by Castle and then remastered, with bonus tracks, in the mid-to-late 1990s by Essential, ''Equator'' was conspicuous by its absence. This was because Sony/CBS wanted what was considered an extortionate sum for the rights. The album ultimately had a CD release in 1999, with no bonus material whatsoever. When the Essential remasters were expanded and reissued in the early 2000s by Sanctuary, ''Equator'' had to be passed over onc ...

Head First (Uriah Heep Album)
''Head First'' is the fifteenth studio album by English rock band Uriah Heep. It was released in 1983, on Gerry Bron's UK label Bronze Records, and would be their final album for the label. The album was recorded by the line-up responsible for the previous year's ''Abominog'', but this time with a greater proportion of the songs written by the band members. Bob Daisley left the group shortly after the album's recording to rejoin Ozzy Osbourne; on the ''Head First'' tour former Heep bassist Trevor Bolder rejoined the band, effectively replacing his replacement, and remained with the band until his death in 2013. Though ''Head First'' was deemed to be a worthy successor to ''Abominog'' by critics such as Geoff Barton, it suffered from a lack of promotion as Bronze went into liquidation the month after its release. Video footage of the tour, from a show in New Zealand, was heavily featured on the long-form video ''Easy Livin': A History of Uriah Heep''. In Japan only, this was ...

Abominog
''Abominog'' is the 14th studio album by British rock band Uriah Heep, released in March 1982 by Bronze Records in the United Kingdom, and in September 1982 by Mercury Records in the United States. It was their first album without keyboardist Ken Hensley. The album was critically acclaimed and fairly commercially successful, due in part to the band retooling and updating their sound to a contemporary style and delivering a "punchier, more pop metal era-appropriate effort. It featured their last US hits, "On the Rebound" and "That's the Way That It Is". The latter was their highest-charting single of the 1980s, reaching No. 25 on the rock charts. The album was preceded by a 7" EP titled ''Abominog Junior'', featuring "On the Rebound" and two non-album tracks, Small Faces cover "Tin Soldier" and "Son of a Bitch".
