I never did buy the singles, I bought Deep Purple In Rock before Paranoid Lp though.

I like both records but will go for Paranoid.Always felt that Bill Ward was very underrated.

At that time I was a year old. My brother, who is ten years older than I am, started listening to rock music at age twelve or thirteen (including prog), but he never bought singles.I heard all music via him when I was a kid. I like both, but voted for "Black Knight". Both songs were played a lot on the dance floor though.

Paranoid.
Didn't tend to buy singles either... apart from Silver Machine, Virginia Plain and Theme One 'cos they weren't on the albums (if my memory doesn't fail me!).

Anyway I was an album buyer mainly but I mostly bought Sweet singles. Paranoid is not very good so Black Night gets my vote.

I actually preferred Sabbath's The Wizard which I remember being on a single around the time. Great blues-harp. Not sure if it was a B-side of Evil Woman or what. Still like Paranoid though. And Black Night of course.

My brother had only one single, "Angels of Death" by Hawkwind, He saw it by chance and bought it because of the B-side "Transdimensional Man", which was not on the vinyl version of the album.

Paranoid (sorry I just got back from playing a gig and was half asleep when I read your thread ) I didn't buy singles but my mates did. Paranoid was THE one at the time.

I didn't even have a bike! Although, I was lucky (or unlucky!) enough to be just a short bus trip into Glasgow city centre. Glasgow had some awesome record shops back in the day... a visit to the original Virgin store was a very exotic experience in the eary '70s! You could always find a bargain in some of those wee dive stores. And budget albums like Relics and The Faust Tapes were a real godsend to a poor teenager. Even the straight shops were great in those days. I remember buying Foxtrot during a holiday visit to relatives in Luton, after seeing the album cover in the window of the Woolworth's store. Changed days!

Paranoid.

Black Night due to the amazing riffs throughout and the awesome keyboard solo.
The live version is amazing too!
I had this on a compilation in the early years and later got Paranoid on another compilation before i got the actual albums later.

yes i see, but i love both,you know at the time, it was difficult to win a little money and more difficult to find out records, i remember i got to buy bargain records coming from jukebox to a guy at the market,but when i was in front of him with a little money, so cooooolll!!!

Hi everybody!
Paranoid without any doubt.
I mean, who's able to define paranoia in one verse
("happiness i can not feel and love to me is so unreal")
must be kind of a genius, eh.
