JUDAS PRIEST “Point Of Entry” /LP/

Fruit of The Loom. Valueweight. Made in Morocco. 
100% cotton.

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!
DVD certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Second re-release of the third full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
This is one of the very first Heavy Metal albums and, on its own, isn't the most well-known of the Judas Priest releases. While it was well-received by critics at the time, it did not have the exact same response as "Sad Wings Of Destiny" did before it. Even though it has its flaws, "Sin After Sin" made a major contribution to the development of Heavy Metal and remains an important stepping-stone in the evolution of the genre.
"Sin After Sin" was the band's first album with Columbia Records after their contract with Gull Records was terminated; as a consequence of which they lost all rights to their first two albums "Rocka Rolla" and "Sad Wings Of Destiny", as well as any other demo recordings made during that timeframe. This was the band's last album to feature their original "gothic cursive font" logo, though it was used on later Gull Records reissues of their earlier material.
The album features session drummer Simon Phillips, as the band had recently parted ways with drummer Alan Moore. The album includes a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust", a decision that was encouraged by producer Roger Glover.
It is the first of eleven consecutive Judas Priest albums to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
For fans that grew up with "Painkiller", "Screaming For Vengeance" or even "British Steel", "Sin After Sin" is tough album to appreciate. Even if the songs don’t all stand the test of time, their significance to the development of Heavy Metal cannot be overstated. In 1977, there wasn’t a band out there that questioned the definition of Heavy Metal music like Judas Priest, and the daring and experimental tracks on "Sin After Sin" are the proof!

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.

Re-release the seventh full-length studio album by legedary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
Recorded on the island of Ibiza with multiple distractions, glorious sunshine, and extremely low cost alcohol, this album was regarded with mixed feelings because it was different from what people expected. The album was nearly all spontaneously written and performed in Ibiza - it was an experiment in the sense that before this we had already written the majority of the songs before going into the studio.
The album got Silver status in UK and Gold in USA.

Remastered re-release of the eighth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Judas Priest rebounded from the shaky "Point Of Entry" with "Screaming For Vengeance", arguably the strongest album of their early-'80s commercial period. Having moved a bit too far into simplistic Hard Rock, "Screaming For Vengeance" found the band refocusing on Heavy Metal, and achieving a greater balance between commercialism and creativity. The results were catchy and accessible, yet harder-hitting, and without the awkwardly apparent calculation that informed the weakest moments of the album's two predecessors. Ultimately, "Screaming For Vengeance" hangs together better than even the undeniable landmark "British Steel", both thematically and musically.
The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed at Beejay Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida. It was first released on July 17, 1982.
Despite a one-album misstep in between, "Screaming For Vengeance" managed to capitalize on the commercial breakthrough of "British Steel", becoming the first Priest album to be certified double Platinum, and reaching the Top 20 in America and the U.K. alike. Along with "British Steel", it ranks as one of the best and most important mainstream Metal albums of the '80s!
The album reached #11 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200 Pop Albums and made Judas Priest much more popular than they were after their “British Steel” album. It went Gold (RIAA) on October 29, 1982, Platinum on April 18, 1983 and Double Platinum on October 16, 2001, being their first album to achieve the two latter awards.
"Screaming For Vengeance" came 15th on IGN's 25 most influential Metal albums. It also came 10th on Metal-Rules.com's 100 Greatest Metal albums.

Re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
"Stained Class" is the only Judas Priest album to feature songwriting by all five members of the band. The alum 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.

30th Anniversary Edition, first remastered re-release of the tenth full-length album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
British Metal legends Judas Priest for a second time reissued "Turbo" album, originally released in 1986. Always believing that Metal should have no boundaries, Priest challenged themselves, taking on board new technical inventions to create fresh ideas and push their sound forward. Searching for a way to retool their sound, Judas Priest attempted to accentuate their melodic side on "Turbo" by incorporating synthesizers and '80s Pop-Metal styling ("Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days" sounds more like Poison, albeit with synths). The restrained songcraft sometimes pays dividends, especially on the PMRC-bashing "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance", and the synth-driven lead-off track "Turbo Lover", the latter of which is easily the best song on the record, and a successful reimagining of the Priest formula. The album features all the hallmarks of classic Judas Priest on tracks such as “Turbo Lover”, “Parental Guidance” and “Locked In”.
This album is an essential part of the Judas Priest catalogue. Originally recorded with the band's long term producer Tom Allom, this album marked a distinctive change in the band’s sound by the use of synthesized guitars but still keeping their classic Heavy Metal style that Judas Priest were synonymous with!

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 ninth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
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 these 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!!
Re-edition contains two bonus-tracks.

Eleventh full-length album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal 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.

The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
The only album to feature drummer Alan Moore, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" is considered the album on which Judas Priest consolidated their sound and image, and songs from it such as "Victim of Changes" and "The Ripper" have since become live standards. Noted for its riff-driven Heavy Metal sound and the wide range of Rob Halford's vocals, the album displays a wide variety of styles, moods, and textures, inspired by an array of bands such as Queen, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath. Building on the Hard/Prog of bands like Queen and Wishbone Ash, plus the twin-guitar innovations of the latter and Thin Lizzy, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" fused these new influences with the Gothic Doom of Black Sabbath, the classical precision of Deep Purple, and the tight riffery of the more compact Led Zeppelin tunes.
The centrepiece "Victim of Changes" is an eight-minute track featuring heavy riffing trading off with high-pitched vocals, extended guitar leads, and a slow, moody breakdown toward the end. "Tyrant" and "The Ripper" are short, dense, high-powered rockers with many parts and changes. Riffs and solos dominate "Genocide", "Island of Domination", and "Deceiver", and the band finds more laid-back moments in the crooning piano-backed "Epitaph" and the moody "Dreamer Deceiver".
"Sad Wings Of Destiny" had a positive reception but weak sales as it was released just as Punk Rock was dominating the spotlight in the UK. The band recorded their first two albums with the independent Gull label under tight budgets (the label provided a recording budget of £2000 for each of the band's first two albums). After living off a single meal per day while working side jobs to support themselves (Tipton as a gardener, Downing in a factory, and Hill driving a delivery van), the band grew frustrated with the financial situation and signed with CBS Records for their next album, "Sin After Sin" (1977). Breaking their contract resulted in the rights to "Sad Wings Of Destiny" and its demo recordings falling into Gull's hands.
Anyway, the year 1976 was crucial for the evolution of Heavy Metal, as landmark albums like Rainbow's "Rising" and Scorpions' "Virgin Killer" began to reshape the genre. Perhaps none was quite as important as Judas Priest's sophomore effort, "Sad Wings Of Destiny", which simultaneously took Heavy Metal to new depths of darkness and new heights of technical precision. More than any other Heavy Metal album of its time, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" offered the blueprint for the way forward. What's striking is how deeply this blueprint resonates through the years, from the Prog ambitions of Iron Maiden to the thematic echoes in a pair of '80s Thrash Metal masterpieces.

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.

"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 eighth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Judas Priest rebounded from the shaky "Point Of Entry" with "Screaming For Vengeance", arguably the strongest album of their early-'80s commercial period. Having moved a bit too far into simplistic Hard Rock, "Screaming For Vengeance" found the band refocusing on Heavy Metal, and achieving a greater balance between commercialism and creativity. The results were catchy and accessible, yet harder-hitting, and without the awkwardly apparent calculation that informed the weakest moments of the album's two predecessors. Ultimately, "Screaming For Vengeance" hangs together better than even the undeniable landmark "British Steel", both thematically and musically.
The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed at Beejay Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida. It was first released on July 17, 1982. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001 with two bonus-tracks.
Despite a one-album misstep in between, "Screaming For Vengeance" managed to capitalize on the commercial breakthrough of "British Steel", becoming the first Priest album to be certified double Platinum, and reaching the Top 20 in America and the U.K. alike. Along with "British Steel", it ranks as one of the best and most important mainstream Metal albums of the '80s!
The album reached #11 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200 Pop Albums and made Judas Priest much more popular than they were after their “British Steel” album. It went Gold (RIAA) on October 29, 1982, Platinum on April 18, 1983 and Double Platinum on October 16, 2001, being their first album to achieve the two latter awards.
"Screaming For Vengeance" came 15th on IGN's 25 most influential Metal albums. It also came 10th on Metal-Rules.com's 100 Greatest Metal albums.

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
This is one of the very first Heavy Metal albums and, on its own, isn't the most well-known of the Judas Priest releases. While it was well-received by critics at the time, it did not have the exact same response as "Sad Wings Of Destiny" did before it. Even though it has its flaws, "Sin After Sin" made a major contribution to the development of Heavy Metal and remains an important stepping-stone in the evolution of the genre.
"Sin After Sin" was the band's first album with Columbia Records after their contract with Gull Records was terminated; as a consequence of which they lost all rights to their first two albums "Rocka Rolla" and "Sad Wings Of Destiny", as well as any other demo recordings made during that timeframe. This was the band's last album to feature their original "gothic cursive font" logo, though it was used on later Gull Records reissues of their earlier material.
The album features session drummer Simon Phillips, as the band had recently parted ways with drummer Alan Moore. The album includes a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust", a decision that was encouraged by producer Roger Glover.
It is the first of eleven consecutive Judas Priest albums to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
For fans that grew up with "Painkiller", "Screaming For Vengeance" or even "British Steel", "Sin After Sin" is tough album to appreciate. Even if the songs don’t all stand the test of time, their significance to the development of Heavy Metal cannot be overstated. In 1977, there wasn’t a band out there that questioned the definition of Heavy Metal music like Judas Priest, and the daring and experimental tracks on "Sin After Sin" are the proof!

Single-disc version of the 26th compilation album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
Judas Priest is a landmark Heavy Metal band. Some regard them as part of the holy trinity of Metal bands along with Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. Columbia Records celebrated the legacy of this band by releasing their single collection starting with “Sin After Sin” and ending at “Painkiller.”
There have indeed been countless Judas Priest compilations issued over the years, but the 2011 release "Single Cuts" has to be one of the most intriguing archival releases the band has ever issued. This compilation is band's complete U.K. Columbia 7" singles A-sides from 1977-1992, together on one CD. Includes the massive Metal anthems "Living After Midnight", "Breaking The Law", "You've Got Another Thing Coming" plus many more... "Before the Dawn", "Evening Star", "Don't Go", "(Take These) Chains" and "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" are featured alongside the expected classics.
The single-disc version (only A-sides from 1977-1992 singles, not B-sides as in "Single Cuts" box set) of "Single Cuts" it's certainly one of the more interesting Priest compilations. Whether you're a longtime collector looking for a one-of-a-kind release, or a newcomer searching for a smartly assembled collection of Priest classics, you are both winners!!

Remastered re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
Following the success of their previous album, "Defenders Of The Faith", Judas Priest initially recorded a double album which was intended to be released under the title "Twin Turbos". This idea was scrapped. Instead, the material was split up, with the more commercial songs appearing as the album "Turbo".
Always believing that Metal should have no boundaries, Priest challenged themselves taking on board new technical inventions to create fresh ideas and push their sound forward. Searching for a way to retool their sound, Judas Priest attempted to accentuate their melodic side on "Turbo" by incorporating synthesizers and '80s Pop-Metal stylings ("Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days" sounds more like Poison, albeit with synths). The restrained songcraft sometimes pays dividends, especially on the PMRC-bashing "Private Property" and "Parental Guidance", and the synth-driven leadoff track "Turbo Lover", the latter of which is easily the best song on the record, and a successful reimagining of the Priest formula. The album features all the hallmarks of classic Judas Priest on tracks such as “Turbo Lover”, “Parental Guidance” and “Locked In”.
The album marked the band's first use of guitar synthesizers, and the introduction of hints of Glam Metal into their image were particularly unpopular with the band's fan base at the time. Anyway, the album was ranked No. 39 on Metal-Rules.com list over the 50 Greatest Glam Metal albums. Moreover, "Turbo" goes Gold by RIAA on 10 June 1986 and Platinum on 24 July 1987, and reaching No. 33 in the UK and No. 17 on Billboard 200.
This album is an essential part of the Judas Priest catalogue. Originally recorded with the band's long term producer Tom Allom, this album marked a distinctive change in the band’s sound by the use of synthesized guitars but still keeping their classic Heavy Metal style that Judas Priest were synonymous with!!

The seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
Band's first album without founding guitarist K. K. Downing, who quit the band in 2011 and was replaced by new guitarist Richie Faulkner.
"Welcome to my world of steel" sneers Rob Halford on the punchy, surprisingly Spartan "Dragonaut". The antithesis to 2008's overblown "Nostradamus", "Redeemer Of Souls" feels quaint in comparison, eschewing the largely fantasy-driven conceptual style of the ambitious, yet undeniably cumbersome, two-disc set in favor of a more refined, Classic Rock approach that edges closer to the band's late-'70s offerings like "Sin After Sin" and "Stained Class". New guitarist Richie Faulkner, with his golden mane and tight, controlled riffing, suggests a wax Downing just sprung to life and simply walked out of Madam Tussaud's museum and into the band's rehearsal space, and his tasteful, yet undeniably meaty playing alongside Glenn Tipton goes a long way in helping to restore some of the classic Judas Priest luster, especially on standout cuts like the aforementioned "Dragonaut", the nervy and propulsive "Metalizer", and the rousing title track.
Still, this is a band that's well into its fifth decade of being "Hell Bent for Leather"; they've explored, both successfully and occasionally at great cost, nearly every shadowy nook and suspicious looking crevice of the genre, and the album's stalwart yet shopworn 13 tracks reflect that journey. That said, "Redeemer Of Souls" is also the loosest (attitude-wise), leanest (arrangement-wise), and most confident-sounding collection of new material the band has released in ages, and while it will forever tread beneath high-water marks like "British Steel" and "Sad Wings Of Destiny", it most certainly deserves to be ranked alongside albums from that era!
The album sold around 32,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart, the band's second highest charting position in the US. This marks the band's first Top 10 Album debut in the US. It has sold 110,000 copies in the US as of February 2016.

The sixth full-length studio album by 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.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
At that time, the band had not yet developed their signature look of leather and studs. They had appeared on British television show The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975, performing "Rocka Rolla" and "Dreamer Deceiver", and their wardrobe was very "hippified". In addition, the album is more Blues/Hard Rock oriented than their later releases, and also has some slight Progressive Rock influences that would continue through to "Stained Class", but to a lesser extent, and would be abandoned in later releases. This makes the album's style virtually unrecognizable when compared with later Priest albums, although "Rocka Rolla" does feature dual guitars, and "Run of the Mill" is the first song that was explicitly designed for Halford's, rather than Atkins', vocal range.
The album produced by Rodger Bain, who had produced Black Sabbath's first three albums. The entire album was played live in the studio, rather than having individual musicians record alone. According to the band, there were technical problems in the studio, resulting in poor sound quality and a hiss through the album. It is the only album to feature drummer John Hinch - he was dismissed in 1975, before the next album recording. Tipton would later refer to him as being "musically inadequate" for the band's future plans. Guitarist Glenn Tipton had just joined when recording of "Rocka Rolla" began; his only songwriting contributions accepted by producer Rodger Bain were on the title track and "Run of the Mill". He did come up with the songs "Tyrant", "Epitaph", and "Ripper", but Bain considered them not commercial enough and rejected them. Bain also rejected the concert staple "Whiskey Woman" which later, with contributions from Tipton, morphed into "Victim of Changes". These songs were eventually all included on their next album, "Sad Wings Of Destiny". Several of the songs on the album feature contributions from the band's previous frontman Al Atkins and had been regular parts of their live performances in Manchester, where the band had achieved a cult following during the previous few years. The track "Caviar and Meths" was originally a 14-minute effort penned by Atkins, Downing, and Hill, but due to time constraints, only the intro was recorded for the album. A longer version of the song appears on Atkins's 1998 album "Victim Of Changes".
The album was released to very little reception, selling "only a few thousand copies". Because it flopped, the band found themselves in dire financial straits. In particular, the band talked of nights in which they were starving and didn't know when they were going to get their next meal.
While it was a sketchy and under-focused debut, "Rocka Rolla" nonetheless begins to delineate the musical territory Judas Priest would explore over the remainder of the decade: frighteningly dark in its effect, tight in its grooves, and capable of expanding to epic song lengths. Mostly a curiosity for hardcore fans, the album definitely hints at Judas Priest's potential and originality, but doesn't always suggest the quantum leap in vision that would occur with their very next record.

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".

30th Anniversary Edition, first remastered re-release of the tenth full-length album by legendary British Heavy/Speed Metal band.
British Metal legends Judas Priest for a second time reissued "Turbo" album, originally released in 1986.

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by British Heavy Metal band, side project of Rob Halford, vocalist of legendary Judas Priest.
Former Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford finally re-embraced his roots, formed a band simply called Halford, and recorded a tremendous album of pure Heavy Metal!
His three early-90s Fight releases were Metallic, unlike 1998s disastrous Two album, "Voyeurs", which was executive produced by Trent Reznor. Add to the musical shift Halford's new makeup-heavy image, and public admission of his homosexuality and longtime fans were surprised, to say the least.
Now, Halford brought out the leather and motorcycle and recruited guitarists Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, bassist Ray Riendeau, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek to start over. The presence of this new band and producer Roy Z obviously inspired Halford because "Resurrection" is a triumphant return to form. It's the real thing, none of that Rap-Metal, Alternative-Metal hybrid stuff. Halford stretches his voice out by utilizing everything from piercing falsetto wails to sinister, throaty rumbles. 
The album includes "The One You Love to Hate" song, featuring Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. "Silent Screams" is a re-recorded song that was originally written by Halford's previous band, Two.
In September 2003, "Resurrection" was ranked number 54 on a list of "The Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums" by online magazine Metal-Rules.com. In 2005, "Resurrection" was ranked number 320 in Rock Hard Magazine's book "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time".

Remastered re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
The only album to feature drummer Alan Moore, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" is considered the album on which Judas Priest consolidated their sound and image, and songs from it such as "Victim of Changes" and "The Ripper" have since become live standards. Noted for its riff-driven Heavy Metal sound and the wide range of Rob Halford's vocals, the album displays a wide variety of styles, moods, and textures, inspired by an array of bands such as Queen, Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath. Building on the Hard/Prog of bands like Queen and Wishbone Ash, plus the twin-guitar innovations of the latter and Thin Lizzy, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" fused these new influences with the Gothic Doom of Black Sabbath, the classical precision of Deep Purple, and the tight riffery of the more compact Led Zeppelin tunes.
The centrepiece "Victim of Changes" is an eight-minute track featuring heavy riffing trading off with high-pitched vocals, extended guitar leads, and a slow, moody breakdown toward the end. "Tyrant" and "The Ripper" are short, dense, high-powered rockers with many parts and changes. Riffs and solos dominate "Genocide", "Island of Domination", and "Deceiver", and the band finds more laid-back moments in the crooning piano-backed "Epitaph" and the moody "Dreamer Deceiver".
"Sad Wings Of Destiny" had a positive reception but weak sales as it was released just as Punk Rock was dominating the spotlight in the UK. The band recorded their first two albums with the independent Gull label under tight budgets (the label provided a recording budget of £2000 for each of the band's first two albums). After living off a single meal per day while working side jobs to support themselves (Tipton as a gardener, Downing in a factory, and Hill driving a delivery van), the band grew frustrated with the financial situation and signed with CBS Records for their next album, "Sin After Sin" (1977). Breaking their contract resulted in the rights to "Sad Wings Of Destiny" and its demo recordings falling into Gull's hands.
Anyway, the year 1976 was crucial for the evolution of Heavy Metal, as landmark albums like Rainbow's "Rising" and Scorpions' "Virgin Killer" began to reshape the genre. Perhaps none was quite as important as Judas Priest's sophomore effort, "Sad Wings Of Destiny", which simultaneously took Heavy Metal to new depths of darkness and new heights of technical precision. More than any other Heavy Metal album of its time, "Sad Wings Of Destiny" offered the blueprint for the way forward. What's striking is how deeply this blueprint resonates through the years, from the Prog ambitions of Iron Maiden to the thematic echoes in a pair of '80s Thrash Metal masterpieces.

The fifth full-length studio album, and the second Christmas album, by the solo-project of legendary British Heavy Metal vocalist, singer of Judas Priest.
Released ten years after "3: Winter Songs", beside of the band's members this successor collection includes members of Rob Halford's family and his friends, and was released under the band's name Rob Halford With Family & Friends instead of Halford.
The album features Metallized Christmas carols and traditional holiday tunes, and a few Halford originals in the holiday vein, recorded specially for this project: "Celestial", "Donner And Blitzen", "Morning Star", and "Protected By The Light".
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Joy To The World", and others get the full-on Judas Priest treatment, complete with chugging guitars, guitar whiz solos, and cowbell keeping time in tandem with sleigh bells.
"Celestial" is a fun reimagining of holiday and Metalhead traditions alike. Combine Halford’s voice, family and friends, the sound of classic Heavy Metal and Christmas, and you have a recipe for greatness, which is pretty much what "Celestial" is!
The vinyl includes download card.
