The record

Title: Black Sabbath – Paranoid
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1970, Metal, Heavy Metal, Birmingham, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Recorded quickly in London with producer Rodger Bain; the title track was reportedly written fast as a last-minute filler.

  2. Media Narrative: UK critics initially trashed them as a social ill, but U.S. youth press and touring crowds built the legend faster than reviews.

  3. Personal Struggle: Raised in Birmingham’s working-class austerity, Ozzy’s dyslexia and early petty-crime drift, plus Tony Iommi’s factory accident, shaped the band’s bleak worldview.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
