‘Finished with my woman, ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind…’
Also included in the vinyl package is a hardbound book featuring interviews with all four band members, rare photos and memorabilia, a collectable poster, as well as a replica of the tour book sold during the original Paranoid tour.
Widely regarded as the creators of heavy metal, the Birmingham-based band followed their self-titled debut in early 1970 with Paranoid. With tracks like ‘Iron man’, ‘War Pigs,’ and the titular classic, it became the band’s first to top the UK charts and has since sold more than 4 million copies in the US alone.
