The debut full-length solo album by the leader and vocalist of legendary American Soft Metal band Bon Jovi.
“Young Guns II” is a 1990 western film and the sequel to “Young Guns” (1988). It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. Jon Bon Jovi also made a cameo appearance in the film as one of the prisoners in the pit with Doc and Chavez.
This LP includes songs from and inspired by the movie “Young Guns II”. Emilio Estevez originally approached Bon Jovi to ask him for permission to include the song "Wanted Dead Or Alive" on the soundtrack. Bon Jovi did not feel the song’s lyrics were appropriate; however, he was inspired by the project and resolved to write a new song for the film that would be more in keeping with the period and setting. He quickly wrote the song "Blaze of Glory", and performed it on acoustic guitar in the New Mexico desert for Estevez and John Fusco. This was the first time that "Blaze of Glory" was heard.
Music videos were made for the first two singles, "Blaze of Glory" and "Miracle", and also the fourth (promo) single "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin", but not for the third single "Never Say Die".
The album featured guests such as Elton John, Little Richard, and Jeff Beck.
The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. “Blaze of Glory” was awarded a Golden Globe. It also received Academy Award and Grammy nominations.

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.

The fourth 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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
