In 1987, five years after Rhoads's death, Osbourne released Tribute, the only official album featuring Osbourne and Rhoads playing together in concert. Most of the album is a live performance from Cleveland, Ohio. Contrary to popular belief, Randy's guitar solo was not taken from the King Biscuit Flower Hour show, which became an extremely popular and fast selling bootleg by the name of Bats Head Soup , but it was slightly edited. The songs Goodbye to Romance and No Bone Movies from the Tribute album were recorded on the UK Blizzard of Ozz tour at Southampton, on the same date as the Mr. Crowley EP.
As a tribute to Rhoads, Marshall Amplification released the 1959RR at NAMM 2008. The amp is a limited-edition all-white Marshall Super Lead 100 watt head modeled after Randy's own Super Lead amp. Marshall engineers looked extensively at Rhoads's actual amplifier and made the 1959RR to those exact specifications, right down to the special high-gain modification Randy specifically requested when he visited the Marshall factory in 1980.[14]
As another tribute to Randy, Jackson Guitars has released an exact replica of Randy's original white shortwing V. Randy's original guitar was looked at, photographed, and measured extensively by Jackson's luthiers so as to produce the most exact replica possible. The guitar even comes with black gaffer's tape covering the top wing and the back of the guitar, just like Randy's. Only 60 of the guitars will be made, each with the symbolic price tag of $12,619.56 which is Rhoads's birthday.[15]
Tribute is a live album by Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on March 19, 1987, five years after the death of guitarist Randy Rhoads. It was reissued on August 22, 1995 and again remastered and reissued in 2002 with Bruce Dickinson as the reissue executive producer. It peaked at number 6 on the Billboard 200.[1]
