The world bid farewell to Ozzy Osbourne in Birmingham yesterday (July 30, 2025), in what was both a solemn and raucous occasion as the metal community came together to pay their last respects to 'the Prince of Darkness'.
Much like many music icons, though, we’re lucky to have his legacy live on much after his death, with his works with Black Sabbath and his solo career, which featured celebrated guitarists such as Zakk Wylde and the late Randy Rhoads. Ozzy also happened to be one of the few musicians to cross over into another realm of entertainment; not content with appearing in the 1986 horror movie Trick or Treat or cameoing in Little Nicky, we, of course, had the pleasure of the entire Osbourne clan on our televisions through their smash hit MTV reality series.
It would be music, though, that many fans remember Ozzy for, and for those hanging onto their collection of vinyl, we commend you. However, for those curious, there have been several occasions that vinyl featuring the iconic musician has fetched incredible amounts when sold on Discogs.
We’ve picked out 15 of those titles that featured Ozzy Osbourne that have sold for far more than they were originally picked up for, according to the online marketplace, including one Black Sabbath record that at one point went for a four-figure sum.
Read on to find out which record it was.

9. Speak Of The Devil (1982) - £281.25
This elaborate Japanese first pressing of the live album Speak Of The Devil is a comprehensive collector's package. Valued for its meticulous Japanese pressing quality, it often includes not just the double LP but also a bonus 7-inch single and a large poster, along with the ubiquitous OBI strip and inserts. Capturing Ozzy's live performance of Black Sabbath classics, this edition's completeness and the rarity of all its original components contribute significantly to its high price. | Getty Images/Discogs

10. No More Tears (1991) - £322.50
The high value of this US original pressing of No More Tears highlights a fascinating trend in vinyl collecting: the scarcity of albums released during the early 1990s. At this time, vinyl production had severely declined in favour of CDs, meaning that original LPs like this were pressed in much smaller quantities than in previous decades. As one of Ozzy's most successful and enduring solo albums, its popularity combined with this inherent rarity makes top-condition original vinyl copies highly sought after today. | Getty Images/Discogs

11. Tribute (1987) - £374.99
This US first pressing of Tribute is more than just a live album; it's a poignant and powerful homage to the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, who tragically passed away in 1982. Released years after his death, it features incredible live performances that solidify Rhoads' legacy. Its value is driven by its deep emotional significance to fans, its status as a definitive live recording, and its relative scarcity for an original vinyl from the late 1980s, especially in pristine condition or if factory sealed. | Getty Images/Discogs

12. Black Sabbath Vol 4 (1972) - £399.99
Black Sabbath Vol 4 showcases the band's continuing musical evolution, moving beyond their proto-metal roots. This UK Vertigo "large swirl" first pressing is highly desirable. Vertigo's distinctive "swirl" labels are iconic for collectors, representing a golden age of progressive and heavy rock. Original copies typically came with a unique four-page photo booklet glued into the gatefold sleeve; the presence and excellent condition of this insert are crucial factors in achieving top prices for this legendary album. | Getty Images/Discogs
