Paranoid is the record that built heavy metal. Released in September 1970, Black Sabbath's second studio album is the blueprint every hard rock and metal band has drawn from in the five decades since, home to “Iron Man,” “War Pigs,” and the title track that became the band's only Top 20 hit. It remains one of the most influential albums ever pressed.
This deluxe edition is a double 180-gram vinyl LP pressing, digitally remastered and expanded with a second disc of outtakes previously unreleased in North America. It is the most complete version of this record available.
