echoingthevoid your're probably right that they were just part of the recording.
But as well, as far as I remember Ozzy said that they always have to put bonus track on japanese editions becauce of the power of the japanese music industry.
I can't remember the interview source, sorry.
Don't know about the itunes one.

I would imagine those 3 songs were simply recordings done during the Black Rain sessions. Chances are those songs weren't done with the intention of being bonus tracks. However, in a struggling music business, a lot of labels will pick and sort random tracks to use as 'Bonus' or 'Special Editions' to draw people in. However, I could be dead wrong. But that's my theory.

Personally, those 3 tracks are now a few of my favorite Ozzy songs. They're very heavy and I love Ozzy's melodies as well as Zakk's hooks.
