BLACK SABBATH Paranoid, first UK press, Vinyl Vertigo swirl

The first (this release) and 2nd versions had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. Subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits. First issue released on the ''swirl'' Vertigo label with big logo above spindle hole and the wording ''Vertigo'' below spindle hole and 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' text. Matrix / Runout (Runout, side B, variant 1): BMGCAT401BOX-B1 R1-556692-B1 BK0757 Similar German editions with the same catalogue number and same front cover, but differ from each other also by different rear sides. Please learn to use the search engine, Joe (You'll get a better perspective that way. As you can see, starting a redundant thread on a well covered topic results in few responses. You could blindly follow Evil Strawberry's recommendation, or you could do a search and get a broad range of opinions.)

Comes in a gatefold cover and with a ''swirl'' inner bag. The gatefold cover is slightly textured compared to later issues and has different upper-case only credits on inner gatefold. I own this version of S/T and I think it sounds great - it was cut by Sean Magee who did the Beatles mono LP's. The recent colored vinyl is said to be the same mastering.

The Rhino cuts done by Kevin Grey and Ron McMaster were not as well received, although I enjoy them.
