Ozzy Osbourne Box Set With One Problem...Maybe?

[@MrJamescord]

I ordered mine from the Ozzy web site, really like the few I have listened to. Now I need to find a complete Black Sabbath box set to go along with it.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree! 🥰

[@rgp5150]

Hi from Scotland, Melinda. I also have this box set and the 2nd LP of No More Tears in mine (No. 2132) had Side C labels on both sides. I won’t be returning mine for the same reasons as you. To honest, now that I’ve seen you video I think it’s probably very common! I love your videos and we share a lot of the same taste. Keep up the good work !!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you. We got each other's labels. Lol. I appreciate your kind words. Take care.

Wow.... What a collection... I love Ozzy and hadnt seen a couple of those... Great vid... As always...

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you so much!

[@paulhancock1530]

Misprints and mislabellings very often TRIPLE the value. Not always, but I’d wager that this mislabelling makes your box set MORE desirable. I’d keep it. You’ve got a one-off of something that’s relatively rare and expensive to begin with.

[@MelindaMurphy]

That's definitely ba positive way of thinking about it. I hope you're right. Thank you for the encouragement. Take care.

[@paulhancock1530]

Melinda Murphy I would look into your strange pressing. I suspect that you’re not alone in getting this mis-label. I reckon there is a small percentage of the 5000 presses that have this issue. It can’t be a one-off mis-labelling. If it is a complete one-off then you have a very special one of a kind copy. But, if there are others that have this same issue, then there will only be a very small percentage of copies that have this anomaly, which should make it quite collectible.

[@kickinvideo333]

Ozzy sat down and patiently, lovingly, carefully & soberly applied his signature 5000 times to each boxed set

[@ericjohnson2543]

yeah, lol.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Hints of sarcasm. 😆

[@MikeGuitarPlayer07]

All these color variants are absolutely stunning! Yeah that label problem with "No More Tears" is a little annoying especially for the price. I wonder if it was just a manufacturing error on your specific copy. It is hard to say but if the service is being slow and such I would just keep the album as is. And who knows...maybe it could be more valuable down the line because of the error...not that you're trying to sell it but it is cool if it goes up in value due to an error.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you Mike. The customer service should be a little better for an expensive box set like this. You and others are making me feel better about it. The mistake doesn't seem to disappoint other collectors so that is reassuring. Take care Mike!

[@craigdunn3231]

I like your ozzy Osbourne vinyl box set nice collection I like your kiss t shirt

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you! 😀

[@jamesshort8385]

Hey Melinda, i think its rude of the record company to treat you like that. IMO, you should get a replacement AND keep the mislabeled one too. After all, they made the mistake. You paid a lot of money for that and shouldnt have to lift a finger to get satisfaction. This lack of QC is frustrating. In the old days i was surprised when i bought an lp that had issues. Now its a surprise if it doesnt. I agree with your opinion, i wouldnt be happy about the mislabel either. Good luck!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you. What you said would be the perfect outcome. The QC and customer service needs a little work. Take care.

[@tomsuzyinfluencerinfj2712]

Spoke to the head of a record company way back: Secretaries from record companies very often learned the signature of artists. So it is normal that it’s not always the artist him/herself signing. They don't have the time. That’s the way it goes.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Maybe Sharon signed it. Lol. 😀

[@renatopasqualini5989]

Awesome box set! I would keep pressing for the people to send a replacement, and hold onto the current one you have. The misprint Label may actually make the record much more valuable down the road. Looks really cool, congrats!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the compliment and great advice!

[@tinostabile3256]

Hi Melinda, What a glorious box set. Love Ozzy. I agree and I would want them to send the new one first. COVID is making communication and delivery difficult. I am hoping that you get that sorted out. God bless and keep well, Tino

[@brandonio_granger]

I wouldn't let the 2 side D labels bother me enough to return it.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I was concerned that the mistake could harm the value of my box set. I don't plan on selling it but if I had to in an emergency, it would be frustrating if that mistake hurt the value.

[@adamgold1803]

@@MelindaMurphy The opposite is probably true. In many cases, misprints are rare, hence the version is more rare, hence is more valuable. Personally I love misprints and quirky birthmarks on records. You very well might have the most rare pressing of an already rare record. Total keeper copy IMO

[@roberttoews2775]

I love the error. My reaction would be, "Wow! This is so cool!". Then I'd try to gather info to see if this is common for all the box sets, or unique to just a few. If they all have this error, then it's not a big deal. If it's fairly rare, you've got a treasure in your hands. Either way, I would never send it back to have it corrected. PS; rock'n KISS shirt. :)

[@MelindaMurphy]

I don't think it is a common problem. From the comments I'm getting, I'm not going to worry about it and just enjoy it. Thank you for the input.

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

Hey Melinda!!! You did it congrats on the box set. I owned the OG Dutch pressing of Ozzmosis which goes for stupid money around $400 and an OG Korean pressing of No More Tears which goes for $200..... I was going to pull the trigger on this box set, but changed my mind since the only that I’m missing is Live and Loud and I didn’t think it was worth it. My favorite Ozzy albums are Bark at the Moon, Ozzmosis and No Rest for the Wicked in the order. Cheers rock n roll rebel JC/Miami

[@MelindaMurphy]

It is so cool that you have an OG Ozzmosis. I was really wanting that one and for the money, buying the box set instead made sense. Live and Loud is great. Hopefully, there will be a reissue sold separately. Take care.

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Melinda , As a marginal Ozzy fan , even I would love that box ! Lol Certificate of "Ozzthenticity " Always liked his live albums & The Vinyl is Awesome ! Lots of splatter. Nice pick up.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you! I would love to see more artists create box sets like this.

[@robinburke3323]

That's an incredible set for Ozzy fans. I would only return the record if the company sent a replacement first..otherwise forget it.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you!

[@big_burly_bro]

I just found and showed some Ozzy. I dig it! I wish I could buy a single record of No More Tears without buying the box set. Although, it is an impressive box set.

[@MelindaMurphy]

You can buy a copy on Discogs. Some sellers are breaking up the boxes and selling them individually. Thank you Eric!

[@veteq101]

I would keep it, mistakes like these tends to make items more valuable. Have you been able to confirm that other sets don't have these same issue? If they don't I would definitely keep it. I remember a video on a Rolex watch with a mistake with the numbers on the dial, that watch is worth a lot more money than the ones without the mistake. Great videos, I just found your channel, subscribed, watch many of the past videos and looking forward to future videos.

[@MelindaMurphy]

That is a good perspective. One other person who saw my video said that their record has the same error so this isn't the only one with the mistake. The music isn't a problem so I think I'm just going to let it go. Thank you and have a great week!

[@danielphillips7537]

I understand your concern and I agree that for the price of the boxed set it should be perfect. On the other hand sometimes a mistake on the label makes the record worth more rather than less. I think you made the right call by not sending it back. I would want to be able to inspect and play the replacement first.

[@MelindaMurphy]

A lot of people are saying that my copy is unique so I do feel better about it. They should send me a replacement copy regardless. Thank you for your input.

[@BriansVinylRecords]

Looks like you have a one of a kind with the label wrong. I’d not personally worry about it, but I also don’t buy to collect or as an investment. If I was looking at it as an investment I might be upset, but you do have a misprint which might make it more valuable. Either way, I’m jealous of the box set. If I didn’t have the vast majority of those albums already, I might have been tempted. Rock on Melinda.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I didn't buy it as an investment but if I had to sell it, I wonder if the label problem would hurt the value? It's a cool set regardless. Take care.

[@BriansVinylRecords]

@@MelindaMurphy I would believe it wouldn't hurt, but possibly help because it's an error in manufacturing. I could be wrong though.

[@13axtula]

Phew, I thought I missed this video, as I saw you show an Ozzy album in a video a couple weeks back. I was like, 'when did Melinda get this box set?' Let's hope they see this video and change their tune. I agree, they should send you the vinyl first considering how much you shelled out for a premium product. I think it would bother me as well. My stars though, all those albums look beautiful. - Joel

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you Joel and I'm sorry for the confusion. I will probably send them one more email in hopes they respond. Either way, I'm happy with the box set. Take care.

Just finished watching to the end, personally i wouldn't worry about the mistake label, I've been collecting records alot of years and it def happens. Sometimes the mistake labels can actually make the record worth more since it is a rarity.

[@angelok2317]

Hi Melinda.... great box set. I’d keep the defective record especially given that all the music is there. Don’t lose sleep over it. Just enjoy it.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you!

[@goshgolly8305]

Do not mail that record back! This is a collector's set not meant to be played. Similar to coin collecting you have an error piece. In coin collecting that makes them more valuable. This is the way they made your record and this is the way it will stay and you should keep it. Certainly don't risk sending it back and not getting another replacement back if they even have replacements. The value should remain the same if not higher. Just keep it in the whole set and enjoy your collectible. If you want to you could even buy an additional copy on eBay or wherever. Just don't risk putting something in the mail and not getting the item back. I think others will agree with me as well. Things get lost and stolen in the mail all the time as I know from lots of eBay experience. Then they might actually run out of Replacements and say sorry can't help you. Something like that could happen

[@MelindaMurphy]

What you are saying is what I'm afraid of. There is no way I am sending that record back. I have been listening and enjoying the records. Thank you for the advice. Have a great weekend.

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

Hi Melinda. Congrats on the purchase. I would love to get it but not in the cards. My take on the 'defect' is as long as the correct music is on the record it is relatively minor and from now on when I see anybody showing it I'll remember you have the 'unique' one. Matches the 'unique' person you are. Your collection will give you many years of happy listening. Cheers. Greg

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you very much! 😀 Many people have said what you are saying. My fear has been that if tough times hit and I needed to sell it this mistake would hurt the value. With what you are saying, that would not be the case. I might ask again for a normal copy but I'm not as stressed as I was. Take care.

MELINDA NICE VIDEO ON YOUR OZZY BOX SET. SORRY ABOUT THE LABEL ERROR. TAKE CARE

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you Bobby!

[@TheRecordSpinner]

The more videos I see about this box set the more tempted i am to get it! For what you get with the splatter vinyl, the exclusivity and the “signature”, it’s worth the $500 price tag. It gives other career spanning box sets of the same caliber a run for its money. The mistake you pointed out is a huge one and I’m sure it gives people some hesitation about splurging that much for a potentially faulty product. Personally for myself, as long as the music content on the sides is correct then I’m Not too bothered but I’m sure my OCD would go off the radar since the label doesn’t match.

[@MelindaMurphy]

This box set is really great. I'm happy to have it. The label problem bothers me because I think it could potentially hurt the value sometime down the line if I ever need to sell it. Most people have left feedback saying it won't hurt the value and may actually help it. I would love for Van Halen to come up with box sets that are this nice. Take care.

[@madmaxx254]

I did not know that they did that I have to check mine now thank you for that....... Bringing it to my attention....yes for that much money they should have done it right and they should send you the vinyl record first since it was they're messed up I would just keep on them till they sent you that vinyl record and then I would send the defective one back to them...

[@roccodelduca5067]

I would definitely ask for a replacement. The box set is fantastic, but with a $500 price tag, you'd want everything to be perfect. Although, if it were me with my luck, I'd ask for replacements and get both side C labels.

[@tinaferrazzoli8006]

Hello Melinda; Nice old school color pattern Kiss T- shirt. The Ozzie box with the faux record, turntable & skeleton arm looks like a good set to have, if you are a fan. IE: Rhodes died in a plane crash as a result of pilot error. Label mistake let it go. Cut down a post it to the size of the letter & write the correct letter on that side. I don't believe it is worth the trouble. The replacement could be worse. Your choice? Take care. Tina & Pat!~

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the suggestion.

[@davidnorth-martino]

Nice box set! Here's some info I just recently discovered. There was some type of legal battle over Shot in the Dark that seems to have been settled out of court. According to Wiki, "16 beats, 4 measures, of music are chopped out of the first chorus". I was able to confirm this. I have the original CD pressing of Ultimate Sin that includes the unedited recording. The vinyl you own should have the 4 min 16 second version of the song as opposed to the original 4 min 26 second version. Just an interesting bit of trivia. I was also never a huge fan of No Rest for the Wicked. I bought the CD back in 1989 after seeing Ozzy on Tour at the Worcester Centrum in Massachusetts with Vixen and White Lion opening. Haven't listened to it in years. I'll have to give it another try.

Hi, great video. I would keep the album as is. The album is in perfect condition; will the return be as good?, will you receive a non-splatter edition? It is late in the lps selling cycle. As you said, the USPS is slow right now and your chance for a happy resolution is probably lessening each day if the daily news is correct. There are likely a different number of tracks on side C and D , which would let you know which side I'd which. or the etched writing between the exit grooves at the end of the record might list which side it is. Or, you could look for another version yourself, purchase it, then sell the "Double D" copy to a crazed Ozzie fan who wants a "varient" at a greatly increased price.

When you said you had "a problem" with this boxed set, I'd assumed it was going to be that one of the records was badly warped or disfigured or with split seams or something like that.

[@almosthuman56]

I would be upset as well. And I agree, they should send it first. I have a friend that had a problem getting the new Ozzy from their site on the day of release. He pre ordered it and it did not arrive for weeks after its release. So to deal with sending your copy back is risky. I share your opinion on this.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you Ralph. I made this video right before we spoke. I'm not going to send my record back unless I get the replacement first. It's a nice box set but the service has been really slow. Take care.

Ironing my clothes and watching all these Ozzy albums, what a box set. Only Ozzy vinyl I ever had was Diary of A Madman which is odd as I did not even own any a Black Sabbath album. I did enjoy that album and his first one. Very elaborate box set. You got a lot of listening ahead of you. Enjoy your week Melinda. I got the creases just right on my dress shirt so I’m starting my day off right.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I love Diary of a Madman too. I watch videos while folding my laundry. It makes the job a little better. 😀

[@needley]

As a church going fellow. Ozzy Osbourne is anathema to me. Sorry!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I understand why you feel that way and I respect that.

Hi Ozzy box set could be worth more with mistake , that wouldn't worry me

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you Pat. 😀

[@mikeatlantis6843]

Hi Melinda, sorry to hear about the label issue on one of the records from the box set.most people seem to think it will be more desirable having a misprint and worth more too.if they don't send a replacement to you (which I hope they do), and if it still bugs you,have you considered maybe buying another box set while still available and re selling your one probably for a lot more than you paid for it as they are selling on other sites for more than the original price.just a thought.great video

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the suggestion. It would be cool to make money off of my set. Lol. Take care.

[@marioaguileraiii8181]

Did you know there is an album missing from the catalog called “speak of the devil” ? It’s a live album , Not sure why they didn’t include that.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I knew it was missing. Their must have been a problem with the copyrights on that one. I wish it was in here.

[@marioaguileraiii8181]

@@MelindaMurphy I should have got it when I had the chance , it’s triple the price on EBay.

@@tonystephens6858 ok but there are other albums on this set that have Sabbath songs

[@33RPMVinyl]

I think that is the most elaborate box set I've ever seen. Great addition to your collection. Regarding duplicate label issue, I think the record company should send you a replacement LP and let you keep the original. In any case I would not be too upset with the label error. Perhaps it makes your set unique and even more valuable.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I like the way you think.😀 This is an extremely well done box set. I wish more bands would make theirs this nice. Take care.

[@garrypeak4277]

Hey Melinda.....you must have had one heck of a garage sale and/or very generous family & friends for your birthday lol. I just checked the price on the set...hooley Dooley! Lol. I’ve only ever been a casual Ozzy fan, I checked out after No More Tears. Ultimate Sin is my fave Ozzy album, which I’ve been told on several occasions, is a sacrilegious opinion to have lol. If I was going to get amongst the Ozzy stuff, I think I’d save the money and go for the set, best way to go. And, even as disappointing as it is, I’m not sure if I’d tempt fate and send No More Tears for replacement... Have a great week! x PS - I bet the set weighs a ton!

[@MelindaMurphy]

It was very expensive. My dad passed away last March and I sold alot of his tools at the sale. The tools really helped me raise the money. I love the box set and there is alot of vinyl in the set. Thank you!

[@garrypeak4277]

Melinda Murphy Sorry for your loss, Melinda. I lost my mother a few Xmas’ ago. Never gets easier does it. Still plenty of music I can’t go near, because i makes me sad. Cheers x

Congratulations on that box set some beautiful looking vinyl!!! Keep the misprint it may be worth more one day. Stay safe

[@MelindaMurphy]

The splatter vinyl is beautiful. Thank you Rod!

[@kd6836]

Definitely keep the misprint.

[@vikingbrace]

I’m much more of a Sabbath fan than Ozzy solo but he still has some great material. Love your shirt btw😊

[@MelindaMurphy]

I like Black Sabbath alot too. Thank you. I love the shirt too. 🥰

[@agksvinyllife]

Keep the mislabeled record Melinda. Mislabeled records are extremely rare and actually have a higher value than properly labeled records. That record is an oddity. The record companies goof will be your gain in the future as the value of that mislabeled pressing will actually end up being worth more than a properly labeled copy!

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the advice. That seems to be the popular opinion. I feel better about it now. Take care.

[@BeaSides]

I would think an oops label would be worth more as a collectible! Beautiful wax!!

[@MelindaMurphy]

A lot of people are saying that it may increase the value so I feel a little better about it now. I'm just not willing to send my copy back first so I may have to live with it. I really like the vinyl too. Thank you.

[@LilWillyA2Z]

That is not always the case, unfortunately. But like I said in my comment, it does make it somewhat special, and unlike many of the rest.

[@jimmylovelady4740]

If the only issue is the label, it may make your set more valuable due to possibly an isolated error. I would keep it. They may not have a replacement if the box set sold out. Great video.

[@MelindaMurphy]

If I can't get the replacement first, I'm going to keep it. Thank you!

[@jontoyman]

This is not an error this is a defect during production. People that are saying that it's a rarity are barking up the wrong tree. Wouldn't you rather have one with the correct labels? Perhaps some other Ozzie fan would trade copies with you. I see people all the time talking about production errors being valuable, they aren't unless you can find someone silly enough to pay more for a defect. I have seen this phenomenon amongst collectors for years and I have never seen production errors gain a significant amount of value. Some hobbyists of different collections collect errors but they are never taken seriously and never get returns on their investments.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I see your point. It would be nice if they sent me a replacement and allowed me to keep the defective copy. 😀

[@theflipside-vinylcommunity]

I think the error is rad. Super rare and cool

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you. That makes me feel better about it. 😀

[@robertsaul234]

Nothing to worry about. Put a red dot in the dead wax with a sharpie so you can distinguish the two sides or just read the deadwax. You can remove it with lighter fluid later if needed. Could be a collectable. The set itself is fairly priced considering the amount of vinyl and an autograph to boot. Mine had a warped disc which I sent back and they replaced, but that was before they were trying to dismantle the postal sevice. My one complaint was the non inclusion of Speak of the Devil. Take care and good luck with your dilemma.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you so much for the suggestion. Take care.

[@michaeljacobson4844]

Sometimes a label error like that can make a record more valuable, kind of like a postage stamp printed upside down that becomes worth thousands! :-)

[@Rockoli]

You got it!! Awesome!! I went back and checked my copy of "No More Tears" and my label is correct, but I hate that yours got mislabeled. Does the track listing on the sleeve of "The Ultimate Sin" match the actual track listing on your labels? Mine is completely out of order. Minor error, but strange. Now I need to go listen to some Ozzy! Oh and thank you for the shout-out, Melinda! You're too kind. Take care!

Hi M. Keep that duplicate side D it’s an anomaly , it could be even more valuable in the coming years.At least it’s side c when you play it. Also they should have included the early live album ,speak of the Devil. It’s a 2 album set of all Black Sabbath songs .

[@MelindaMurphy]

I would like to have that live album. Maybe I will find it while digging sometime. Thank you for the advice. I will hang on to the album. The music isn't affected. Take care.

[@prockrog5219]

A misprint can make it rise in value more than a perfect copy, so you should be happy with what you got! Agree with your rating of the albums, but you need to give Bark at The Moon some more love - it is one of his best.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I do need to listen to Bark At the Moon a few more times. It is growing on me. Some albums are an instant love and others grow on me and become a favorite. I appreciate your input. Take care.
