Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

Paranoid is the quintessential Sabbath record. It’s also the most accessible. A riff-fest full of hallucinatory lyrics and trapdoor structures, like a good horror film it’s a descent into dark recesses and has a claustrophobic sense that set the bar very high, indeed, for groups who are reaching for that kind of atmosphere.
"War Pigs" remains one of the great album openers, a creepy epic in which Ozzy hilariously rhymes "generals gathered in their masses" with "just like witches at black masses" and gets away with it, while Iommi soars through a set of positively evil riffs. The title track is a grinding heavy classic. "Iron Man" is another of the most glorified songs in the bunch, coming off in phantasy doom and gloom. The drifting bong-smoke of "Planet Caravan" is in keeping with the album's mood and one of those mellow moments that would become a hallmark of the group’s albums and most heavy albums forever after. "Electric Funeral" is a disturbing vision of the sort that groups would spend years trying to outdo. "Hand of Doom" is one of the great unsung Sabbath tracks, a druggy post-psychedelic monster of a song that sums up the album's entire dynamic in its seven surly minutes. "Rat Salad" condenses the group’s early jammy tendencies into a short, effective jammer which features a drum solo—Bill Ward's a great drummer. The closer, "Fairies Wear Boots," brings a bit of creepy feel to this doom-laden record and puts paid to the whole thing’s bad-trip groove.
In sum: a bizarre, groundbreaking classic that remains a rock and roll fun house.
