According to a posting on rock photographer Ross Halfin's web site, OZZY OSBOURNE has recorded a cover of JOHN LENNON's "How", which Ross was lucky enough to hear.

Ozzy was due to release Disc Four, "Under Covers", from the "Prince of Darkness", box set on as a separate CD this summer, featuring additional tracks that were not included on the original box set. Ozzy's current list of "unreleased covers" includes the following:

JOHN LENNON - "How"
JEFF BECK - "Hi Ho Silver Lining"
JOE WALSH - "Rocky Mountain Way"
JOHN LENNON - "Woman"
MOODY BLUES - "Go Now"

Although no official release date has yet been announced for the "Under Covers" CD, Amazon.com is currently listing this item for an October 4, 2005 release.

f*** off c***. The reason you release a box set is so your fans get bonus material. You don't go and release a special edition disc from that set to give them the extra songs. When it comes to the Osbournes, it's all about the money and f*** the music!

I kind of agree with that - I bought the set (for a decent price) and would expect the more expensive product to have the extra material, not the cheaper single CD...

Ozzy has always said The Beatles were his biggest influence,
and he's paid his dues for over three decades. Let him do what he wants.
Of course it's about money! The whole world is about money.
I hope to have some too someday.

I understand ozzy likes the beatles... thats cool... but doing beatles/lennon covers just isn't metal. Plus he keeps doing classic rock covers like that one mountain song that he should leave be... although he probably does these because. A: he cant think of new material, and most of his 80s stuff wasnt written by him anyways. B: the damn record company won't let zakk wylde write guitar parts for him. C: The record company wants a profit and ozzy's too f***ed on drugs to realize he needs to get back to the good stuff.
