Even the Alamo (San Antonio, Texas, USA) said goodbye. I do not know if the weblink to the Alamo's instagram will work, so here is the statement from the instagram:

We at the Alamo are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne. His relationship with the Alamo was marked initially by a deeply disrespectful incident in 1982. This act profoundly and rightfully upset many who hold this site sacred.
However, redemption and reconciliation eventually became part of his history as well. In 1992, Ozzy personally apologized to then-Mayor Nelson Wolff and expressed genuine remorse for his actions. Decades later, in 2015, he revisited the Alamo grounds to learn and appreciate the site's profound history, openly demonstrating humility and understanding.
At the Alamo, we honor history in all its complexities. Today, we acknowledge Ozzy Osbourne's journey from regret to reconciliation at the historic site, and we extend our condolences to his family, friends, and fans around the world. May he rest in peace.
Not that I'm personally bothered by it because I was never a fan, but why on earth would they not include the 6 extra tracks from an earlier edition in a 3 CD 50th Anniversary edition????
Interesting packaging here - all but Op. 95 were carried over from the sessions used to make the 2LP Epic Rasumovsky/Harp set from 1964-65. But once the decision was made for the band to do a complete cycle, the recorded Op 95 in 1970, after which there was now a 3 LP set.
But the timing didn't work out of everything to be "in order". Now, on CD, they are.
The Epic recordings were awesome. And so is this Columbia artwork!
