JUDAS PRIEST

Two classic remastered albums of the legendary British Heavy Metal band in one set!

"Stained Class" is the fourth full-length album of the band. This is the only Judas Priest album to feature songwriting by all five members of the band. "Stained Class" showcased a more streamlined songwriting style while not compromising on the band's trademark Heavy Metal riffs. The production is crisper, clearer, and cleaner than any of their preceding albums. Following this album the band broke its songwriting team down to Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, with occasional contributions solely by Tipton. Several years after its release "Stained Class" was the subject of negative attention due to the infamous 1990 civil action brought against the band by the family of a teenager, James Vance, who entered into a suicide pact with his friend Ray Belknap after allegedly listening to "Better by You, Better Than Me" on December 23, 1985. Belknap succeeded in killing himself, and Vance was left critically injured after surviving a self inflicted gunshot to the facial area. The suit alleged that Judas Priest recorded subliminal messages on the song that said "do it." The suit was eventually dismissed. The song was originally written and performed by the band Spooky Tooth.
In 2005, "Stained Class" was ranked number 307 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
Remastered re-edition includes two bonus tracks!

"Ram It Down" is the eleventh full-length album of the band.
In 1986, Judas Priest intended to release a double album entitled "Twin Turbos" of which half would consist of lighter, more commercial Hard Rock, and the other half would be heavier and less synth-driven. Columbia Records was resistant to the double album concept, and the project was ultimately split into two separate releases, 1986's Platinum selling "Turbo", and "Ram It Down". At least three songs – "Hard As Iron", "Love you to Death" and "Monsters of Rock" were written for the "Twin Turbos project". The title track "Ram It Down" can be traced even further back. As Rob Halford noted, ""Ram It Down" is a harder song, from the "British Steel" time. It also could have roots as far back as the demo version of "On the Run" from "Point Of Entry" which had "different lyrics, Speed Metal pace, and spit-fire fast vocals". In other words, "Ram It Down" was clearly a patchwork collection of songs - old and new.
This is the last album to feature long time drummer Dave Holland and the last studio album produced by long-time collaborator Tom Allom – who returned to produce a 2009 live album.
In any case, major changes were coming, as Halford, Tipton, co-lead guitarist KK Downing and bassist Ian Hill readied themselves to dismiss long-serving drummer Dave Holland and producer Tom Allom in order to escalate their metallic renaissance on 1990’s absolutely jaw-dropping "Painkiller" If nothing else, "Ram It Down" marks the end of an era with class and dignity!
The album earned gold certification (500,000 sales) on 18 July 1988.

Remastered re-release of the sixth full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Packed with strong melodic hooks, "British Steel" is a deliberate commercial move, forsaking the complexity of the band's early work in favor of a robust, AC/DC-flavored groove. It's a convincing transformation, as Priest prove equally adept at opening up their arrangements to let the rhythms breathe.
The album is built around the classic singles "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight", both big hits in the U.K., which openly posit Judas Priest as a party band for the first time. But "British Steel" is hardly a complete break from the band's past. There are still uptempo slices of Metallic mayhem bookending the album in "Rapid Fire" and "Steeler", plus effective moodier pieces in "Metal Gods" and the crawling menace of "The Rage", which features arguably the best Rob Halford vocal on the album.
"British Steel" is an important album that sealed Judas Priest's status as genre icons, and kick-started Heavy Metal's glory days of the 1980s. It went Top Five in the U.K. and became their first Top 40 album in the U.S., going Platinum in the process and paving the way for countless imitators and innovators alike. 
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added.

Remastered re-release of the 9th full-length studio album by British Heavy/Speed Metal legend.
Up until this point in the '80s, Judas Priest was sort of inconsistent with the first two albums in the decade for Priest, being nothing of goodness, they really made up for the first two albums of the decade, with this killer album that rocks you to the core, from beginning to end. Then after this, they put out "Turbo", which blew in every single way possible. In '88, they put out "Ram It Down" which was the prophecy of what was to come for Priest. The '80s was a very interesting decade for Judas Priest and this is by far their best work of not only the '80s, but ever.
This album is the quintessential Judas Priest album, and it definitely deserves more attention than it gets. Every single song on this album has a killer riff, great vocals, great lyrics and just greatness spread throughout! Everyone was on top of their game in this album and from the moment you start this album, it's greatness from beginning to end. Everything about this album is spot on and it really shows what Priest is all about. This album has the perfect blend of heaviness, melodicness, and Metal that only Priest can provide!
Highly recommend to any Metal fan out there that wants something that is old school, has killer riffs and just rocks everything on this Earth to its core. Not only is it the quintessential Judas Priest album, but the quintessential Metal album in general!!
Videos were made for the songs "Freewheel Burning" and "Love Bites."

The eighth video release by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Halford is back with the Priest. The main reason is money... if you read the latest interview of Tim Owens, Judas Priest was not selling much albums these years. Even though Tim did a great job replacing Rob as good as he could, the die-hard Judas Priest fans have never "digested" the departure of Rob. Like it was the case for Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson, we are very very happy to see Rob Halford back with the Priest, the Heavy Metal band of the 80's. You should know at this stage that the English band decided to enter directly in studio and deliver a new record for 2004. To help their fans for this long expected event - more than 10 years ! - Judas Priest release a new compilation DVD features music videos, BBC performances, and the first time officially released on DVD a concert filmed in Dallas, Texas during the 1986 Fuel for Life Tour, previously released as "Priest...Live!" on VHS and LaserDisc.
The "Electric Eye" DVD is an essential collector's item for any Judas Priest fan. This DVD is loaded with great material: 13 music videos, the 19 track "Priest...Live!" video, 6 rare BBC performances, and a complete discography that plays a full song from each album!

The eighteenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
The band's first studio album since 1988's "Ram It Down" to be produced by Tom Allom and the first one with Andy Sneap as co-producer. 
Judas Priest's "Firepower" began under inauspicious circumstances. First, guitarist Glenn Tipton, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a decade ago, found it necessary to retire from the road; second, they lost out to Bon Jovi for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and finally, former drummer Dave Holland passed on before this set's issue. But the sound of "Firepower" remains unbowed. Its undiminished power and assaultive mayhem are somewhat tempered in its slower moments by slowly unfurling rage, loss, and menace. It was begun in 2016 by Rob Halford, Tipton, and new guitarist Richie Faulkner. They chose two veteran producers to bring it home: Tom Allom, who helmed every Judas Priest album between 1979's "Unleashed In The East (Live in Japan)" and 1988's "Ram It Down", and Andy Sneap, master producer/engineer of modern Metal. He began his career in 1994 and has worked with everyone from Accept and Exodus to Megadeth, Masterplan, and Testament. He is also a formidable guitarist who is replacing Tipton on the road.
"Firepower" is meaner and leaner than "Redeemer Of Souls"; the songwriting is more diverse and exceptionally tight. It creates a kinetic energy and unified sense of purpose not heard consistently since "Screaming For Vengeance". Judas Priest recorded all together from the studio floor; overdubs were added in post-production. 
Closing in on their 50th anniversary, Judas Priest still possess the musical rigour, showmanship, and force that make other bands bow down. "Firepower" smokes!
The album sold around 49,000 copies in the United States within its first week of release, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the band's highest-charting album in the US. The album also reached No. 5 in the UK, making it their first top-ten album in the UK since "British Steel".
In December 2017, "Firepower" was listed by Ultimate Guitar as one of the "Top 25 Most Anticipated Albums of 2018", alongside expected albums by bands like A Perfect Circle, Megadeth, Testament, Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses, Muse, and The Offspring.
Also, the album takes 5th place at Decibel's "Top 40 Albums of 2018", 3rd place at Loudwire's "The 30 Best Metal Albums of 2018", 4th place at Revolver's "30 Best Metal Albums of 2018", 3rd place at Rolling Stone's "20 Best Metal Albums of 2018", and 1st place at WJCU's "Top 25 Albums of 2018".

Remastered re-release of the fifth full-length studio album, also known as “Hell Bent For Leather”, by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
With its release, the album pushed Judas Priest towards a more commercial style; however, it still contained the dark lyrical themes of their previous albums. At about the same time, the band members adopted their now-famous "leather-and-studs" image. This is the first Judas Priest album where Glenn Tipton incorporated the guitar technique of tapping into his soloing style. This is also the final album for drummer Les Binks, who had joined the band in late 1977 for the recording of “Stained Class”; he is credited with helping develop the traditional Priest percussive sound.
Killing Machine was retitled “Hell Bent for Leather” for release in the United States, because the US branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the "murderous implications" of the album title and with "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)", an early Fleetwood Mac cover, being added to the recording.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonuses added (three in the UK).
In 2010, audiophile label Audio Fidelity released a limited-edition 24-karat gold CD of the album. Mastering was done by Steve Hoffman. This does not contain the bonus tracks from the 2001 edition.

First re-release of twelfth full-length album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
This album was Judas Priest's attempt to move into a heavier, more "Thrash Metal-like" sound, which was a departure from the less-well received sound of “Turbo” and “Ram It Down”.
Trying to right the ship, Priest jettisoned longtime producer Tom Allom and his tinny '80s sound, as well as the serviceable groove drumming of Dave Holland, and brought in veteran Metal producer Chris Tsangarides and onetime Racer X skinsman Scott Travis. Most importantly, though, Priest stopped trying to be a stadium act in the midst of hair Metal's heyday. All those changes come into sharp focus as soon as the title cut of "Painkiller" starts - Travis' thunderous percussive maelstrom lights an immediate fire under the bandmembers' asses; Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing tear through a crushing, diabolical riff; and Rob Halford starts shrieking like a wicked witch, giving perhaps the most malevolent-sounding performance of his career. It's a startling statement of musical purpose that arrived seemingly out of nowhere, heralding a comeback that rivals George Foreman's. Once the leanest, meanest, darkest Metal band on the planet, Priest were clearly giving up on the mainstream and instead embracing the Thrash and Speed Metal Underground they'd helped spawn. Spurred on by Travis' Jazz-trained double bass assault, "Painkiller" never once lets up, slowing down only for the elegant menace of the prog-tinged "A Touch of Evil", and without an unmemorable tune in the bunch.
That constant, balls-out intensity is a big reason why Metal's younger generation has come to consider "Painkiller" perhaps the ultimate Speed Metal album. Older Priest fans will likely complain that the lyrics are silly, and they won't be wrong - for all its fury, the title track is about the winged knight riding the monster motorcycle depicted on the front cover. Thus, "Painkiller" 's influence reaches further than many longtime fans might expect: traditional Power Metal bands wanting a harder edge adopted a good chunk of Painkiller's approach, yet its blend of chops and aggression also caught the ears of the emerging Extreme Metal movement, even inspiring a cover version of the title track on Death's final album, "The Sound Of Perseverance".
"Painkiller" secured Judas Priest's legacy with the next generation of Metal fans; it's the point where their contributions make the most sense to modern ears more attuned to Metal extremes (and more affectionate towards lyrical clichés). It isn't the most important of the Priest classics, but it is the fastest, the meanest, and, well, the most f***ing Metal album they ever released! Simultaneously a stunning revitalization and the last great album they would ever make!!
