The Prince of Darkness is no more, passing away today at 76. I took a chance on purchasing the Paranoid LP when it first came out. At the time it was classified as Acid Rock. I knew I was on to something when my father told me to stop playing it. After temporarily exchanging it with a friend for his Steppenwolf album, my father, after hearing the group’s Pusher cut, told me I could trade it back for my Paranoid album.
