In September 1970, Black Sabbath unleashed "Paranoid", the heavy metal gods‘ 2nd album. It was a significant musical achievement, to say the least, and would go on to cement the band’s legacy as one of the most groundbreaking, haunting and dynamic bands to ever take up the practice.

The record, which boasts Sabbath classics like the title track, “War Pigs” and “Iron Man,” celebrates its 50th birthday in 2020. To commemorate the landmark anniversary, Rhino Records has a special deluxe edition on tap. The fancy reissue set will be available on October 9th, 2020.

"Paranoid : Super Deluxe Edition" includes the original album, in addition to a rare 1974 Quad Mix of the album folded down to stereo, plus 2 concerts from 1970, from Montreux and Brussels, that are pressed on vinyl for the first time. The 5 LP set comes with a hardbound book with extensive liner notes featuring interviews with all 4 band members, rare photos, and memorabilia, a poster, as well as a replica of the tour book sold during the "Paranoid" tour.
