On a frigid October night in 1983, Ozzy Osbourne, still reeling from the death of guitarist and friend Randy Rhoads the previous year, was covered in hair and prosthetic werewolf makeup, and squatting on a fallen tree to boot. The occasion was the photo shoot for <em>Bark at the Moon</em>, the Prince of Darkness' third solo studio album.

The iconic image that resulted from all this was actually a combination of two photographs. The shot of Ozzy was a production still from a roll of 35mm film ("It was rough and looked more like the werewolf had been surprised by the photographer," Costello says); the background shot of the moon was from a previous session, when Costello had photographed Ozzy's entire band at Ridge Farm Studios in Surrey, where <em>Bark</em> was recorded. "Technically it's terrible, but it works perfectly for the cover in question," Costello says of the final result. "Like the Kiss album, it's taken on a life of its own after all these years."
