1971 / Warner Bros. Records / WS 1887

12" LP, Green Label, Gatefold

Matrix/Runout:

WS-1887 39786-3 [Artisan Logo]

WS-1887 39787-1 [Artisan Logo]

Features the rare "Ioomi" credit misprint on the labels. Stamped with the Artisan Sound Recorders logo, indicating a high-fidelity lacquer cut from the original production run.

Released in the U.S. in early 1971, Paranoid is the cornerstone of heavy metal. This specific pressing is highly sought after by collectors for the "Ioomi" label error and the superior audio quality associated with the Artisan Sound Recorders mastering.

Condition Details:

• The Media: VG+ — Beautiful visual luster with light surface rashing and minor paper scuffs that do not affect the integrity of the vinyl.

• The Jacket/Case: VG — Structural integrity is solid, though there is prominent visible ringwear ghosting on the front and back of the black gatefold.

The record has been moved to a premium Hudson Hi-Fi anti-static poly-lined sleeve. This ensures archival protection and prevents the "paper rashing" or static common with factory sleeves. Additionally, the entire jacket is housed in a brand-new 3mil outer sleeve for superior shelf protection.
