Acquire a foundational masterpiece of heavy metal history with this original 1970 UK second pressing of Paranoid by Black Sabbath, available at Planet Earth Records. This highly collectible vinyl LP features the iconic large Vertigo swirl label design, a hallmark of early British progressive and heavy rock releases. A vital addition for serious record collectors and rock purists, this specific archival variant is housed in its historic matte gatefold sleeve, notably printed after the removal of the early Big Bear management credits from the inner liner notes.

Meticulously checked across all technical parameters, the dead wax carries the authentic machine-stamped matrix paths unique to these definitive early British Vertigo runs. Both the vinyl disc and the iconic gatefold jacket have been professionally inspected under strict grading standards to ensure a precise description of its current condition. The classic labels remain clean around the spindle hole, while the vinyl retains its original sheen and premium analogue sound properties, delivering the unmatched audio depth that vintage UK pressing runs are celebrated for.

From the thunderous, driving riffs of "War Pigs" and "Iron Man" to the dark, legendary groove of the title track "Paranoid", this release captures the raw, unfiltered studio energy of the band's peak era.
