In 1986, Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake sued Osbourne for unpaid royalties, eventually winning songwriting credits on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. The 2002 reissues of these albums are derided by fans due to the replacement of the original bass and drum tracks of Daisley and Kerslake with new ones by Osbourne's then-current drummer Mike Bordin and bassist Robert Trujillo.

'This live double album, recorded in 1981 but not released until five years after. Osbourne leads his best band lineup through the entire Blizzard repertoire,.

Fans and critics generally felt the move was dishonest, especially as no indication of the changes appears on the exterior packaging or sleeves of the altered albums (although stickers indicating this were later added.) Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon, explained the re-recordings in a press conference: 'Because of Daisley and Kerslake's abusive and unjust behaviour, Ozzy wanted to remove them from these recordings. 'We turned a negative into a positive by adding a fresh sound to the original albums.' Daisley and Kerslake deny the allegations of 'abusive behaviour' and continue to battle for royalties owed them for their work on Blizzard of Ozz.[2] REMASTER = CRAP. @patrickfitzpatrick It does matter to us audiophiles who work hard for our expensive music gear to suit and sound best for ourselfs. Lossy mp3's sound shit compared to lossless flacs on good gear period. You ever heard of DAC? I guess you just run flac files through winamp that sends bytes to your onboard sound card that outputs garbage to your crappy speakers/headphones.

My system consists of DAC/soundcard -> integrated amp -> 2 speakers and good quality cables across sources. All worth around $4000 On the otherhand, on my $100 ipod and $30 headphones I just listen to regular mp3 because it can't reveal any differences between mp3 and flac. You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.:).
