New Ozzy material

Ozzy Osbourne has recorded covers of ROLLING STONES' "Sympathy for the Devil", BEATLES' "In My Life", KING CRIMSON's "21st Century Schizoid Man" and ARTHUR BROWN's "Fire" for an upcoming covers CD, one of four to be featured in a boxed set due next February, Osbourne told Reuters in an interview at his Beverly Hills home on Thursday (Oct. 14).

Ozzy shares vocals with MOTT THE HOOPLE singer Ian Hunter on the glam band's signature song "All the Young Dudes" while Leslie West reprises his guitar work on power trio MOUNTAIN's "Mississippi Queen".

The three other discs will include demos, rarities and outtakes from Osbourne's solo career, which began after he was kicked out of the pioneering heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH in 1978, according to Reuters.
