• Originally released in the UK September 1970 but most copies, like this one, date from 1971.

• Whereas most copies of Paranoid have an unlaminated gatefold cover this is the rarer laminated version.

• Has the smaller Vertigo swirl label and wording ''Vertigo'' above the spindle hole.

• The label has "Produced by Roger Bain for Tony Hall Enterprises" over two lines. Most other versions  have this text on one line only.
