A new Collector’s Edition 180g picture disc vinyl celebrating the collaboration between Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne is out now. Not only does it look stunning and sound fantastic, but it also preserves Ozzy Osbourne’s final studio recordings in physical form.
Presented by TLG|ZOID and distributed by Virgin Music Group, the limited-edition picture disc is available now online and at independent record stores. It is designed to be framed, displayed, and treasured. Maaaybe nab a spare if you want to actually spin it.
The release brings together two tracks that already loom large in modern rock:
- ‘Gods of Rock N Roll’, featuring Steve Stevens and a cinematic score by Fred Coury
- ‘Crack Cocaine’, another blistering collaboration between Morrison, Osbourne, and Stevens
These songs are critically decorated. ‘Gods of Rock N Roll’ landed on Loudwire’s Best Rock Songs of 2025, made Ultimate Classic Rock’s Top 10 Songs of 2025, and was named Wall of Sound’s #1 Song of the Year by senior writer Ranga Gareth Williams. Amazon Music also included it in their Best of Rock 2025 list.
That level of consensus does not happen often.
The final studio chapter of Ozzy Osbourne
What elevates this release beyond prestige lists and chart placements is its context. These two tracks represent the final studio recordings of Ozzy Osbourne. That fact alone turns this picture disc into something closer to an artefact than a merch item.
Billy Morrison has been open about what this collaboration meant to him. The vinyl itself uses photography by Jane Stuart, taken throughout the recording process, and presses those moments directly into the disc. It is rock history you can hold in your hands.
Billy Morrison shares: “I feel so incredibly fortunate to have been able to work with my best friend on those last two songs, CRACK COCAINE and GODS OF ROCK N ROLL, that when the idea of a picture disc vinyl with all the versions on it came up, thanks to my guys at TLG|ZOID, I jumped at the idea. We already had the wonderful cover shots that our photographer, Jane Stuart, had taken throughout the process of both releases, and I remember as a kid just loving the idea of a vinyl record with images on the actual vinyl! It was a no brainer, and a truly wonderful way to close out that chapter with a tip of the hat to Ozzy and the two amazing songs that we did together. I will always be able to watch that video of GODS, when Steve Stevens and I are belly laughing with Ozzy in the studio and hold that close as a treasured memory.”

Why this release matters
Billy Morrison is best known as Billy Idol’s long-time rhythm guitarist, but his recent work has carved out its own legacy. ‘Crack Cocaine’ hit #1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart, and The Morrison Project continues to showcase his instinct for collaboration that feels intentional.
This picture disc does not try to modernise Ozzy or mythologise him further. It simply preserves the truth of where he was, who he was working with, and how powerful those final recordings still sound.
TLDR;
- A limited-edition Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne picture disc vinyl is out now
- Features’ Gods of Rock N Roll’ and ‘Crack Cocaine’
- These are Ozzy Osbourne’s final studio recordings
- Designed as a display-worthy collector’s piece
