Black Sabbath – Paranoid ‘Deluxe’

• 8th Apr 2009

If you want to re-release the greatest album in the world ever then the only way to rightly do it is with a karaoke version of the record included. Disc Two of this Universal release includes a bionic remaster of the seminal album from the band that invented heavy metal. Alternative lyrics give an insight into the sheer talent of the warped mind of Ozzy Osbourne. Although it will never sound as good as it did on that first vinyl press in 1970, Paranoid Deluxe Edition sounds bolshier and bolder than ever before. An essential remastering rather than a shelf-filler.
