Black Sabbath announce 50th anniversary box set of ‘Paranoid’

Posted by on August 7, 2020

Black Sabbath has announced the 50th anniversary box set of their second studio album, Paranoid. The anniversary box set dubbed, Paranoid: Super Deluxe Edition features 5 LPs, beginning with Paranoid itself, and a rare 1974 quad mix of the album, folded down to stereo. The other 3 LPs in the set were compiled from two separate concerts from its release year, 1970, one in Montreaux and the other in Brussels; this is the first time they’ll be pressed onto vinyl.

The box set will also include a hardbound book full of exclusive content, including interviews with all four members of the band — frontman Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, and bassist Geezer Butler — and rare photos. Topping it off will be a classic-era band poster and a replica of the tour booklet sold during the 1970-1971 Paranoid tour.

The box set is set to be released on October 9 and is available to pre-order here.
