Black Sabbath - "Paranoid" - Live in Paris 1970 (Red Vinyl Release) (Coda Records)






















Coda Records have released a limited edition red vinyl edition of Black Sabbath's performance of their second album Paranoid from Paris in 1970. This was solicited some time back and only arrived today and was part of the 50th Anniversary of the album.

Of course I'd only just started secondary school that year and didn't actually hear the original album until a couple of years later thanks to a pal whose older brother had a collection of prog/early metal albums. My first Black Sabbath album was Vol 4. I've been a fan of the band and Ozzy's solo career ever since.

Paraniod reached number 1 in the UK charts and went Gold. In the USA it reached No 11 and went four times Platinum!

Considering this is a live recording the musicianship, vocals and production are excellent. If you want to get a copy I've posted a link under the video of the opening song.
