Black Sabbath, Paranoid

[u/BrettHorton]

12" gatefold. 1971 Warner Brothers. Need a better copy.

[u/Indifferencer]

Label design indicates it’s a mid 1980s pressing.

[u/Brave_Finish8862 → u/Indifferencer]

My copy of "Deep Purple In Rock" has the same label scheme.

[u/BrettHorton → u/Brave_Finish8862]

I would like a green label Warner Brothers, or a Vertigo, but at least I have one for listening now.

[u/Brave_Finish8862 → u/BrettHorton]

That is the best part. Enjoy!

[u/Plarocks → u/BrettHorton]

Remember. You can always upgrade to an older pressing later.

In the meantime, CRANK IT UP, and enjoy the DOOOOM! 🤘🏻

Never listened to a green label WB, but when I listened to the Vertigo my jaws just fall down, the problem is that the Vertigo press in a good state(I mean that isn't a fried chicken sound record) are very expensive, I found a first Vertigo Italian press but I returned it cause it was skipping in one part of side A plus some song the pop and cracks was really annoyiong, but in the noise free part man the sound was absolute amazing

[u/Profcont]

The recent Rhino Hi-Fi reissue is easily one the best sounding pressings in my collections.

[u/Sweaty_Engine5536 → u/Profcont]

Heck yeah! Got the same one, also the Black Sabbath - those two are easily the best pressing in my collection as well.

[u/LeString]

Good choice!!

[u/BrettHorton → u/LeString]

Thank you.

"PARANOID"

[u/CandieDahling]

US repress, 1979.

[u/demonomania2]

one of the worst covers of all time. Even if they made it with "war pigs" as a title in mind doesn't help.

[u/Hajidub]

Cool! Got this just for asking during the Analogue Productions pressing plant tour. The actual metal stamper for side D of that album.

[u/T-Block-Beats]

congrats! one of the first albums I found at a thrift store, all worn and scratched but I still love it. enjoy.
