Editing Tribute (Ozzy Osbourne album) (section)

==Overview==
The majority of ''Tribute'', from "I Don't Know" through to "Paranoid", was recorded live in [[Cleveland, Ohio]] on 11 May 1981.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/osbourneozzy-tribute/ |title=Ozzy Osbourne - Tribute |last=Begrand |first=Adrien |magazine=[[PopMatters]] |date=28 May 2002 |access-date=8 November 2015 }}</ref> "Goodbye to Romance" and "No Bone Movies" are taken from an earlier English gig in support of the ''[[Blizzard of Ozz]]'' album, possibly from [[Southampton]] on 2 October 1980. These two tracks feature bassist [[Bob Daisley]] and drummer [[Lee Kerslake]].

The versions of "Iron Man", "Children of the Grave", and "Paranoid" featured on ''Tribute'' were originally intended to be included on the 1982 live album ''Speak of the Devil''. In the months following Rhoads' death, these three songs were intended to be released in tribute to the guitarist, but a record company decision was made to save them for a full album to be released at a later date.<ref name="SarzoMemoir" />

The recording of "Crazy Train" that appears on this album was also released as the album's only single on 10 February 1987, along with an accompanying [[music video]]. The album's cover photo was taken at a performance in [[Rosemont, Illinois]] on 24 January 1982, by photographer Paul Natkin.

The operatic music which opens ''Tribute'', as well as all of Osbourne's live shows of that era, is "[[O Fortuna]]" from the ''[[Carmina Burana (Orff)|Carmina Burana]]'' scenic cantata by [[Carl Orff]]. When the album was remastered in 1995, the introduction was removed, shortening the opening track "I Don't Know" to 4:43. It was restored for the 2002 remaster.
