I completely agree that Stripped is their best "live" album. I find most of their live records to be a complete bore. Jagger shouting in near monotone over uninspired efforts by the band. Stripped is great, and would have been their last great record except now there's Hackney Diamonds. But Stripped isn't really live. Six live tracks from small venues, eight "live in the studio" tracks (they my be one take, but there was ample time for another take too). But a very compelling record, maybe even worthy of making a top ten list (I haven't really counted).
While I haven't heard the Kevin Gray cut of Paranoid, the mix from Proferssor Stoned is very good. https://www.profstoned.com/2023/03/black-sabbath-paranoidremixed-prof.html
