Black Sabbath - Paranoid Vintage Woven Patch

BLACK SABBATH "Paranoid" small woven patch, vintage. It comes from a late 70s/circa 1980 deadstock: it's as new. Dimensions: W 7 x H 8,2 cm.
My theory about it is that it was produced following the re-issue of the Paranoid 7" in 1980 in the UK (Nems Recording/Essex Music BSS101 - B-side: Snowblind), thus adopting the same design and same font for the Black Sabbath logo: http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-1298690-1289992675.jpeg - this font is quite unique in the band's history AFAIK. This would have been a clever move from Nems Recording Corp. in an attempt to exploit their BS licence to the maximum (they released 4 BS records in 1980 only!). It corresponds nicely to the context to which this patch belongs: a late 70s / circa 1980 deadstock.
THANKS A LOT TO Knightwhosayni FOR THIS AMAZING PATCH!!!
