Ten Commandments

Released5 July 1990

Ten Commandments is a compilation from English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released on 5 July 1990. It gathers songs from his first four solo studio albums, running from Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 through to The Ultimate Sin in 1986. The record came out through CBS Special Products, with Priority Records and CBS Records also credited with its release.

It arrived between No Rest for the Wicked in 1988 and No More Tears in 1991, so it works as a look back at the first stretch of his solo career. For anyone wanting the early records in one place, or a way into the heavy metal and hard rock that defined his work in the 1980s, it offers a compact route through those albums.
