Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Castle / Essential ESM CD 302. 1996 (1970)


Another case of the three M's (Mysteriously Missing Music). Only two of the four first BS albums sit on my shelf where the proud quartet used to reside.

In my opinion the best slab they produced. Reminds me of Henry Rollins' rant on the naming of weather systems: "El niƱo? The child? They should call it 'The Motherfucker' or 'The first four Black Sabbath albums'"

Highlights: has to be (ever so predictably) War Pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man
