Overview
editAfter performing a show in Birmingham, the band hastily returned to Ridge Farm Studio to remix the song "Goodbye to Romance" for an anticipated single release. The next morning they were informed that the plan had changed and Jet Records instead wanted a brand new song to release as a single.[3] Rhoads, Daisley, and Kerslake quickly put together the song "You Said It All", with drummer Kerslake performing the guide vocal at soundcheck while a drunken Osbourne slept under the drum riser.[3] The plans to record a studio version of "You Said It All" were soon scrapped for unknown reasons, and this live version is the only known recording.
