Acquired from Mark Parrish Ozzy Osbourne Ticket 'No Rest For The Wicked' Tour Support U.D.O NEC Birmingham 3/05/1989

How did I come by this priceless rare ticket? I went to a record fair at Birmingham NEC back in 1994 and bought a first pressing of Black Sabbath's first album for £25. When I got it home to examine it this ticket was inside the sleeve. How lucky am I?

Philip Osborne describes the gig. Some sources state that the gigs took place on 12th/13th of the month following a PA blow out.

First time seeing Ozzy and Sabbath with Dio. This was shortly after Randys tragic death.

This was Black Sabbaths first concert in Georgia. It was also my first concert, I was never quite the same.  After this, it’s like I heard everything with new ears. I was transformed.
