by | Aug 7, 2020 | New Music | 0 comments

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.
