Featuring seminal tracks like ‘War Pigs’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Planet Caravan’, there’s no denying that Paranoid exists in a god tier of its own. It’s a formative album for almost every guitarist who’s ever stomped on a distortion pedal and played a power chord, and will continue to inspire countless generations to come.
In addition to the original album, the Paranoid: Super Deluxe Edition will include a rare 1974 Quad Mix of the album professionally folded down to stereo, as well as two rare 1970 concerts from Montreux and Brussels that are pressed to vinyl for the first time.
The five LP set also includes a hardbound book featuring interviews with all four members in the liner notes, as well as rare photos, memorabilia, a poster and a replica of the Paranoid tour book.
Black Sabbath’s Paranoid: 50th Anniversary Edition arrives on Friday October 9 – preorder it here.
