Black Sabbath‘s second album, Paranoid, was reissued by Rhino on November 11th as a four-disc set that includes the original 1970 LP, a rare quad mix of the record folded down to stereo and two live shows from 1970, one from Montreux and one from Brussels.

Judas Priest singer Rob Halford penned the liner notes for the release. “Paranoid is important because it’s the blueprint for metal,” he writes. “It led the world into a new sound and scene.”

Paranoid: Super Deluxe Edition includes a hardbound book with new interviews with all band members, photos, a poster and a replica of the book sold during the group’s tour in support of the album.

The quad mix included on the set’s second disc comes from vinyl and 8-track pressings made in 1974. They’ve been long out of print. The concerts were recorded around the time of the album’s release; in fact, the Montreux show was performed before the album even came out.

An official unboxing video was released earlier today:
