Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow.

We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

RARE 1973 QUADRAPHONIC ORIGINAL 4 CHANNEL
DIFFERENT SONG MIXES!!!
BLACK SABBATH
PARANOID
\ USA - WARNER BROTHERS - WS 4 1887 (((QUADRAPHONIC)))
TOP COPY! Minty Clean
SCARCE 1973 "QUADRAPHONIC" with different song mixes from the 'regular' known 1971 release...
The 1973 Quadraphonic original issue uses a then, specially designed SQ decoder permiting the a 4 channel sound separation (as opposed to the regular 2 channel) when playback is through the quad system or even surround sound receiver, resulting in completely different song mixes that can be detected even on the 'normal' stereo system. The record company changed around the song mixes (sounding like things were added) to enhance the quadraphonic 4-channel listening experience....
Hear the alternate song mixings of: "PARANOID" an eerie, druggy, and sinister HEAVY PSYCH CLASSIC!
Paranoid is the quintessential Sabbath record. It’s also the most accessible. A riff-fest full of hallucinatory lyrics and trapdoor structures, like a good horror film it’s a descent into dark recesses and has a claustrophobic sense that set the bar very high, indeed, for groups groping for that kind of atmosphere.
"War Pigs" remains one of the great album openers, a creepy epic in which Ozzy hilariously rhymes "generals gathered in their masses" with "just like witches at black masses" and gets away with it, while Iommi soars through a set of positively evil riffs. The title track is a proto-punk classic. "Iron Man" is another of the most glorified songs in the bunch, coming off in phantasy doom and gloom. The drifting bong-smoke of "Planet Caravan" is in keeping with the album's mood and one of those mellow moments that would become a hallmark of the group’s albums and most heavy albums forever after. "Electric Funeral" is a disturbing vision of the sort that groups would spend years trying to outdo. "Hand of Doom" is one of the great unsung Sabbath tracks, a druggy post-psychedelic monster of a song that sums up the album's entire dynamic in its seven surly minutes. "Rat Salad" condenses the group’s early jammy tendencies into a short, effective jammer which features a drum solo—Bill Ward's a great drummer. The closer, "Fairies Wear Boots," brings a bit of creepy whimsy to this doom-laden record and puts paid to the whole thing’s bad-trip feel.
In sum: a bizarre, groundbreaking classic that remains a rock and roll funhouse.
