BLACK SABBATH - PARANOID (LIMITED EDITION JAPANESE IMPORT SHM-SACD)

Black Sabbath Paranoid on Limited Edition Japanese Import SHM-SACD

Another technological breakthrough from Japan! These new, Japanese SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) pressings utilize a special polycarbonate layer over super-defined SACD pits for better transparency and read-accuracy. Originally developed for LCD panels, the SHM technology was found to reduce read-errors on discs and thus incorporated into these special discs. SHM-SACDs are also manufactured with more clearly defined pits for better tracking and less resultant jitter. In addition, the label side of all SHM-SACDs is coated with a special green ink designed to decrease laser refraction. And rest assured: These discs are mastered from the best sources available in Japan and will utterly amaze you with their transparency, dynamics, and lifelike presentation. SHM-SACDs require an SACD player and cannot be played in a standard CD player.

Black Sabbath's seminal 1971 release Paranoid is hands down one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time. Features the best of the band's Ozzy Osbourne years including the scorching "War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Faries Wear Boots" and the title track.
