BLACK SABBATH Paranoid (1970 UK first press 8-track vinyl LP on the Vertigo label with large 'swirl' logo & 'Big Bear' credits printed on the inside of the matt gatefold picture sleeve, complete with poly 'swirl' inner. The sleeve shows some characteristic general wear on the edges and patches of discolouration in places leaving it in G condition. The vinyl shows some light cosmetic hairlines and some light axial wear - a well loved vintage copy of this original pressing)

TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
More Details
Gatefold sleeve designed and photographed by Marcus Keef. Originally to be titled “War Pigs” this was changed at the last minute to avoid offending the US market due to their ongoing involvement in the Vietnam war. The original title makes more sense with Keef’s cover concept, with the sleeve unlaminated on the 1st pressing. Note the credit to Jim Simpson/Big Bear Managament on inner gatefold – this was immediately withdrawn as soon as it was issued due to contractual disputes between the band and Big Bear.

The sleeve was changed to a laminated finish (for 3rd and 4th reissue) due to substantial wear to the outer black finish on the 1st two matt versions – a greenish tinge and the edges of the outer cover where it has been ‘wrapped under’ and glued to the inner gatefold can be seen on many original sleeves.

Large swirl logo above spindle.
“VERTIGO” below spindle hole.
This label design was used for both the first issue (with Big Bear credit – see notes above) and the second issue (with Big Bear credit removed from the inner gatefold). There are two further swirl reissues (with a laminated gatefold sleeve) with the smaller swirl logo and VERTIGO above the spindle – see labels below – and then the final Vertigo reissue on the spaceship label – possibly rarer than some swirl versions.

Condition
As seen with many copies of this album, the sleeve displays some general wear with scuffing to the edges & spine, otherwise remains excellent.

Includes the original poly lined 'swirl' inner, which has a vintage tape repair, otherwise really nice.

The labels have a some light marks around the spindle hole to show it has been played a few times, and to be honest who wouldn't want to play this classic album. Otherwise clean and free from any paper loss of writing

The vinyl is graded Very Good, with some noticeable surface marks, which are cosmetic. We have play tested, it plays through with the odd minor click and some light background sound (particularly at the beginning of both sides) as you would expect to hear on an pressing over fifty years old.

A respectable first issue of this Sabbath masterpiece.
