Black Sabbath::Paranoid (Deluxe Edition) 2009

England | 2009 | Heavy Metal

The deluxe version offers a triple-disc containing the extremely rare 1974 Quadraphonic mix of the album, as well as a deluxe digipak gatefold packaging with expanded booklets containing rare and previously unseen photographs, comprehensive sleeve-notes telling the story behind each album and include images of rare single covers and memorabilia from the period.

It also contains a third disc of previously unreleased bonus tracks, some of which were recorded at Regent Sound Studios.

Hence, there’s an eight-minute instrumental of War Pigs to really savour the guitar work they’re synonymous with, an alternative lyrical version of their seminal title track Paranoid and instrumentals of Iron Man, Electric Funeral, Hand of Doom, Rat Salad and Fairies Wear Boots.

Worth listening out for, too, is the alternative lyrical version of the mellow Planet Caravan, a really trippy slice of ’70s psychadelia that’s perfect for chilling out to.

Black Sabbath are Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, and they relased their eponymous debut album in 1970.

After that, they forged the most haunting and hypnotic rock sound of all time.

From humble beginnings, the Birmingham quartet captured the minds of millions of rock fans around the world and continue to do so into the new millennium.

The musical genre they created inspired countless musicians and spawned countless bands, all of which have attempted to emulate the Heavy Metal originators.

Paranoid remains, arguably, their greatest achievement and this deluxe edition provides fans and newcomers alike with a veritable goldmine of classic material. It’s a collection to be savoured.
