Ozzy Osbourne Speak of the Devil backpatch

The snobs on here who think that only official products count just won't get this. Mostly because they're kids who think they own the subject, which they don't.

Back in the 80s, when printing techniques were rather basic, this is what patches looked like. And as I remeber it, there weren't that many officil backpatches around at the time anyway. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that MASS production of official backpatch began much later. I remember being pleasantly surprised to see an OFFICIAL Somewhere on Tour patch on the merchandising stand at an Iron maiden Hammersmith gig (I bought two). They didn't sell patches much at gigs, or even festivals, as far as I can remeber. So, basically, if you wanted a backpatch, you probably bought a pirate one.

I bought this Ozzy one recently from a guy in Germany. Speak of the Devil was one of the albums tha really got me into metal. Aldridge's drumming on Symptom of the niverse still gives me goosebumps today (amazing drumsound production on this album).

Anyway, I think this patch is absolutely beautiful, so you can stick your 'not official' comments up your Generation Y arses.

Anyway, i'm ready to let this patrch go now, but not for a penny less than I paid for it (U$200).
