Customer Reviews Iron Man is 2 1/2 minutes shorter than the original On the Paranoid CD it's 5:58; here it's 3:29. As other people have pointed out, Iron Man is edited on this. A chunk of one solo is removed --poorly--in addition to the premature fade out. Bummer. . A great introduction. But thats all it is , only an introduction . This is a great introduction to the greatest metal band of all time. If you are a newcomer to Sabbath and not sure if you really want to spend the money on all their cd's , then this is for you. If you are already a Sabbath fan and you want a greatest hits, then go for the 2cd "Symptom Of The Universe" or better yet , save up your pennies until you can afford the 8cd box set . . Buy a different Black Sabbath Complilation Iron Man is a great song and deserves to be heard in its complete form. For some reason on this best of album they decided to shorten the song Iron Man. Who ever was in charge of putting this cd together has just lost themselves a huge amount of sales buy editing one of Sabbath's most well known songs. I recommend this album [[ASIN:B000002KGA We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll]] . . You can see a complete list of all Black Sabbath discography, or go back to the Black Sabbath tabs
