      It was actually Patrick Mehan and Wilf Pine. Ozzy had problems with Don Arden later on when he went solo but had nothing to do with them losing publishing on their first 6 albums. The song called "The writ" off the Sabotage album, was written all about Mehan........

    • @MatChew75
      @MatChew75 Год назад

      Yeah Don Arden didn't have anything to do with their publishing rights that Black Sabbath went through that was with I believe Patrick Meehan and some other guy , but douchebag Don Arden ,Sharon's Dad, they didn't deal with him till the latter years of Black Sabbath like 79-80 and then Ozzy eventual solo career. Just to put it out there he was a f****** b**** just an absolute prick and his daughter didn't fall too far from the tree he's a real bitch herself. I don't know what ozzy was thinking marrying that psychopath but he would definitely be secure financially that's for sure with his money and hers good Lord those kids grandkids great grandkids great-great grandkids will all be set. spoiled absolutely rotten but Jack and his sister seem to be pretty level-headed human beings I mean I see Ozzy so much in Jack he's definitely a level-headed version of his father now I'm sure if he got really hardcore into drugs he would be a lot like his dad burnout in his later years. An Ozzy brain is crispy brain!!!!!!

    Zappa did have a sub label through Warner Bros called discreet records but it was co-owned by herb Cohen. But that was far from what Frank wanted he was still sucking on the Warner Brother teat until 79 that's when he finally could break away and start barking pumpkin records and I believe the first album that was put out on BPR was Tinseltown Rebellion
