Sleeve M; Vinyl M. Released in September 1970 on Vertigo in the UK, Paranoid is Black Sabbath’s defining second album and a cornerstone of heavy metal. With thunderous riffs and bleak, socially conscious lyrics, it features iconic tracks like “War Pigs,” “Paranoid,” “Iron Man,” and “Fairies Wear Boots.” The title track—written in just 25 minutes—became their biggest hit, while the album itself hit No. 1 in the UK. 

This reissue on 180g vinyl is a must have for all metalheads.
