FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album came out in 1970; this record is the remastered 2006 US reissue on Rhino Vinyl (R1 78976) on 180g vinyl.

Wasn't the album originally meant to be called "War Pigs"?
Yes, "War Pigs" was the planned title. The label then went with "Paranoid", partly because the song of that name had become a hit single.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal traces. VG+ (Very Good plus) for the sleeve means light signs of use, well preserved overall. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
