BLACK SABBATH Paranoid (Monster Rare 1970 Japanese first press 8-track LP on the blue & silver Philips label, housed in a deluxe gatefold picture sleeve variant with Japanese text & English lyrics printed inside [with some amusing misinterpretations]. This copy is complete with the near mythical original Vertigo obi-strip with the earliest 1950 yen price point - the obi-strip is much rarer than the album itself, most of them now discarded - this highly collectable delicate piece of paper proclaims the album to be the highest level of heavy rock sound! The packaging is Excellent with some very light shelf wear around the edges forgiveable with age. The obi remains firmly intact with no tears & remains in Excellent condition with a small date penned on the back. The vinyl is Near Mint & shows barely any play. Recommended SFX-7266)
