PARANOID

Special, moreover notable position on one of my record shelves belongs to this Black Sabbath release, not only because of the fact that it's first UK pressing on Vertigo 'spiral' label , but much more due to it's role in my turning to the prog music (together with Purple's 'In Rock' album) at the beginning of the seventies. Best known through its self titled hard rocking hit which conquered single's charts, this album brought collection of outstanding tracks among which 'Planet Caravan' and 'Hand of Doom' are my favourites. Absolutely it is the best Sabbath release, one of undisputed milestones in prog relations.
