EP
Prince of Darkness
Prince of Darkness is an EP from Ozzy Osbourne, released on Jet Records on 25 August 1984. It sits between his third solo studio album, Bark at the Moon, from 1983, and The Ultimate Sin, which followed in 1986. It is a stopgap in the middle of a busy early solo run, and a curiosity for anyone following his 1980s story.
