Studio Albums
1974 - Rocka Rolla
Rocka Rolla is the debut album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1974. It was produced by Rodger Bain, who had made a name for himself as the producer of Black Sabbath's first three albums.
This album was played entirely "live" (i.e. all musicians playing simultaneously as in a concert, vs. the more popular method of each musician's parts being recorded separately and then mixing them).
According to the band there were technical problems in the studio, resulting in poor sound quality and a hiss through the album. The band further claims that the producer had too much control over track selection, and omitted their more popular stage classics. These songs were eventually included on their next album. Many of the songs were written before Rob Halford joined the band. The track "Caviar and Meths" was originally a 14-minute epic penned by Halford's predecessor, Al Atkins, but due to time constraints, only the intro is recorded for the album. A longer version of the song appears on original vocalist Al Atkins's 1998 album Victim of Changes. Though not the full-length version, it is notably longer at seven minutes. The album also contains covers of the songs "Winter" and "Never Satisfied".
At this point of the band's career, they had not yet developed their signature look of leather and studs. They had appeared on a British television programme called The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975, and their wardrobe was very "hippified" as journalist Malcolm Dome put it. In addition, the album has some slight progressive rock influences that would be abandoned in later releases.
Drummer John Hinch would be dismissed in 1975, before the next record was to begin being recorded, for what Glenn Tipton would later call him being "musically inadequate".
The album was reissued in 1987 with a different cover. Reportedly the band was unhappy with the original cover art and logo, as it didn't fit with their image as a heavy metal band. There are also rumours that the Coca Cola Company brought legal pressure because the original album art too closely resembled their most famous brand. The re-issue cover art was used for the US cover of Ballistix for the Turbo Grafx 16 and Commodore Amiga.
Since the album was released during the period when K.K. Downing was the band's frontman, this remains the only album on which he is the primary songwriter. On future albums, songs were usually written by Halford, Downing and Tipton, most songs being written by either two or all three of them. After 1978's Killing Machine, the songs on every album were credited to all three of them (the only song after that credited to Halford and Tipton was "Thunder Road", a bonus track on 1981's Point of Entry). After Halford left the band in 1993, the songs on the band's next album, Jugulator, were all credited to Downing and Tipton. The band's last release before Halford rejoined the band (thereby recreating the Halford-Downing-Tipton songwriting team) was 2001's Demolition, the only album to feature Tipton as the primary songwriter. "Deep Freeze" remains the only song released on a Judas Priest album credited solely to Downing.

1976 - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Sad Wings of Destiny is the second album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1976. It was the album that would establish the band as a major force in the heavy metal scene and ultimately moved them closer to commercial success. Alongside later albums such as British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and Painkiller, Sad Wings of Destiny is a favorite album amongst Judas Priest fans.
It is considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums since Black Sabbath's self-titled debut in 1970. Whilst the album contained some of the band's early stage material (for instance, "Victim of Changes" dated back to 1972, and was originally titled "Whiskey Woman"), it was a definite progression in style from their debut album Rocka Rolla. It was also a step forward from the style of early British heavy metal, especially on tracks such as "The Ripper", "Tyrant" and "Genocide".
The cover art for the album, titled "Fallen Angels," was illustrated Patrick Woodroffe. It is best known for introducing the pitchfork-like symbol known as the "Judas Priest Cross," as worn by the angel. [1]
The album was the only one by Judas Priest not to feature a title track up until 1980's British Steel (counting "Sinner" as the title track of 1977's Sin After Sin). However, when vocalist Rob Halford left to form his solo band Halford, the band's debut album featured a song named "Sad Wings" as a bonus track. During the chorus of the song, Halford sang the words "Sad Wings of Destiny". However, it is unlikely that the song had any other relations to Judas Priest, as it was credited to being written by the band's guitarists, Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, rather than any Judas Priest members.
Sad Wings of Destiny was Priest's last studio recording under Gull Records. Despite critical success, the band was struggling financially due to lack of support by the record label. Shortly after changing management, the band severed their ties with Gull and signed with Columbia Records. Consequently, Priest lost all rights to their first two albums and all demo recordings made during the sessions. [2]

All re-release and reissues of this album reverse the Side A & Side B track-listings of the original Gull Records version. None of the reissues of Sad Wings of Destiny are endorsed by Judas Priest.[3]

1977 - Sin After Sin
Sin After Sin is the third album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1977. It was the band's first album released by Columbia Records after terminating their contract with Gull Records. (Consequently, Priest lost all rights to Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny, and any other demo recordings made during the production of the two albums.)[1] This album featured the drum work of a very young and upcoming session drummer, Simon Phillips, who was only 19 at the time of recording. The record features a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust", a track that would become a live favourite from then onwards. The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. One of the bonus tracks "Race With The Devil" was at first intended to take the place of "Diamonds & Rust" but their producer, Roger Glover, wanted them to switch to "Diamonds & Rust", saying that "It would fit along with the rest of the album better."
It is said that this album was supposed to be called "Island of Domination" after the song on "Sad Wings of Destiny" with a re-made version of "Island of Domination" as the title track, but they decided to call it "Sin After Sin" because of the popularity of the song "Sinner". The words "Sin After Sin" appear in the lyrics of a song featured on Sad Wings of Destiny called Genocide: "Sin after sin, I have endured... Yet the wounds I bear, are the wounds of love".
In 1988, Slayer covered the song "Dissident Aggressor" on their critically acclaimed South of Heaven album. Arch Enemy covered the song "Starbreaker", which was eventually released as a bonus track on the Wages of Sin album.

1979 - Hell Bent For Leather
"Hell Bent for Leather" redirects here. For the Frankie Laine album of the same name, see Frankie Laine.
Killing Machine (US title: Hell Bent for Leather) is the fifth studio album by Judas Priest. The album was Judas Priest's first stab at a "different" sound, and was created at about the same time that the band members adopted their now-famous "leather-and-studs" style.
Killing Machine was retitled Hell Bent for Leather for Stateside release, as the US branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the "murderous implications" of the album title. Additionally, the track "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)", an early Fleetwood Mac cover, was added to the running order; it was not on the UK release.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. The bonus track "Fight for Your Life" was the "original" version of Judas Priest's "Rock Hard Ride Free" from their Defenders of the Faith album.

1980 - British Steel
British Steel is a heavy metal album by Judas Priest, released on April 14 1980 (see 1980 in music). The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. It is one of their most popular recordings and is widely regarded as one of the band's best efforts, along with Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller.
"Breaking the Law", "United", and "Living After Midnight" were released as singles.
The album was recorded at Tittenhurst Park, which was the home of the Beatle Ringo Starr. Sampling did not yet exist at the time of recording, so the band recorded the sounds of smashing milk bottles to be included in "Breaking the Law", as well as various sounds in "Metal Gods" produced by "trays of cutlery" and "billiard cues."
The bonus track "Red, White, and Blue" was written sometime during the earlier years of Priest's career. It was recorded at Compass Point Studios in Nassau in July of 1985. Judas Priest explains this track in the remaster booklet as follows:
"This is a great song which was written as an anthem for audience participation AKA "United" or "Take On the World" and although a little tongue-in-cheek, it is also very patriotic and may bring a tear to your eye! We felt that the end tag of Rule Britannia was very fitting for a British band especially on an album entitled British Steel."
The second bonus track, a live performance of "Grinder", was recorded on May 5, 1984 in Los Angeles during the Defenders of the Faith tour.
Anthrax guitar player, Scott Ian said in an interview in the documentary Heavy Metal: Louder than Life that British Steel was probably the album that really defined heavy metal, because it, according to him, did away with the "last shards of blues" that had otherwise been characteristic of the genre. He said, "Even the title... how does it get more metal than that?"
It was featured in the Classic Albums documentary series.

1981 - Point of Entry
Point of Entry is a heavy metal and hard rock[1] album from the British band Judas Priest. It was released on February 26, 1981 .
In 1980 Judas Priest garnered some airplay with "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight" from their album British Steel. As a result the band pursued a more radio friendly direction on Point of Entry. The more blatant commercial direction alienated some longtime listeners.
Three singles were released from the album: "Heading Out to the Highway", "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin' ". They performed "Heading Out to the Highway" up until their Priest...Live! album, and "Hot Rockin' " is still performed today; two of which had accompanying music videos. On Priest's "re-united" tour in 2005, they also played Solar Angels on rare ocassions. On the Point Of Entry tour, Solar Angels was the opening song on every show.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added, a live version of "Desert Plains" and a track from the Ram It Down sessions.
The US and European album covers differed, this being repeated with the remaster.

1982 - Screaming For Vengeance
Screaming for Vengeance is the 8th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album featured a much more mainstream sound than previous albums, as evidenced in the single' "You've Got Another Thing Comin'. 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.
"From an unknown land and through distant skies came a winged warrior. Nothing remained sacred, no one was safe from the Hellion as it uttered its battle cry...Screaming for Vengeance."
-- Album back cover
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.
This album also includes their #1 hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" and one of their most-popular on-stage performances, "Electric Eye".
The band wrote about the bonus track "Prisoner of Your Eyes" in the remaster booklet as follows:
"This is one of two versions of this particular song - the second version having a different chorus. The majority of this track is still as it was put down at the time but with lead breaks from Glenn and K.K added at a later date. It's very emotional and epitomises the light and shade style of Judas Priest which is the trademark of the band."
The album came 15th on IGN's 25 most influential metal albums
The title song "Screaming for Vengeance" is played on the main site for the upcoming game Brutal Legend[1] , in which Rob Halford plays a character in the game named General Lionwhyte.

1984 - Defenders Of The Faith
Defenders of the Faith is the 9th studio album (10th overall) by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed from September to November 1983 at DB Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Miami, Florida. The LP & cassette tape were released on January 4, 1984 and later appeared on CD in July. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001. Three tracks were released as singles, "Freewheel Burning", "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll", & "Love Bites".
"Rising from darkness where Hell hath no mercy and the screams for vengeance echo on forever. Only those who keep the faith shall escape the wrath of the Metallian... Master of all metal."
-- Album back cover
The cover art by Doug Johnson (who also designed the Hellion in Screaming for Vengeance) depicts the Metallian, a ram-horned, tiger-like land assault creature conceptualized by the band.
"Eat Me Alive" was listed at #3 on the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen," a list of 15 songs the organization found most objectionable. PMRC co-founder Tipper Gore stated the song was about oral sex at gunpoint. In response to the allegations, Priest recorded the song "Parental Guidance" on the follow-up album Turbo. A column of the same name is used in Guitar World Magazine where the editors release pictures and information of Guitar World readers.

A remastered CD was released in 2002, adding two bonus tracks. The album marked the band's first use of guitar synthesizers, which contributed to its sound.
Following the success of their previous album, Defenders of the Faith, Priest were at the peak of their popularity. Pressure from the record labels to sell ever more records led to the creation of a double album called "Twin Turbos", which was never released. Instead, the material was split, with the more commercial songs appearing on Turbo. While it sold well initially, going Gold (RIAA) on June 10, 1986 and Platinum on July 24, 1987 and reaching #33 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200, the reaction from fans was negative. Sales tapered off and the live album from the subsequent tour tanked.
"Parental Guidance" was written and recorded in response to Tipper Gore's attack on the band. Her organization, the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), placed "Eat Me Alive" (from Defenders of the Faith) at #3 on their list of offensive songs (a.k.a. the "Filthy Fifteen"), as it allegedly was about performing oral sex at gunpoint. [1]
"Turbo Lover" was featured as one of the songs in the U.S. release of the 2001 PlayStation 2 game Gran Turismo 3.

1988 - Ram It Down
Ram It Down was an album recorded and released by Judas Priest in 1988. The album was remastered in 2001, with two live tracks added.
In 1986, Priest intended to record a double album called Twin Turbos of which half would be lighter, more commercial rock, and the other half would be similarly polished but heavier and less synth-driven. As it happened, record labels being notoriously timid about double albums, the project was split into two releases, with the heavier Twin Turbos material being relegated to this later album. While it largely failed to capture the metal public's approval, elements such as the more technical drumming, high speeds, and sci-fi themes prefigured their return-to-form classic, Painkiller. Judas Priest had also done a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", which was the only single from this album. This would be the final album involving long-time drummer Dave Holland and producer Tom Allom.
This was the first album on which guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton adopted the use of the sweep-picking technique. It was the incorporation of this into their playing, as well as high-speed, technical soloing, that turned it into shred on this album. An example of Tipton's shredding can be heard unaccompanied during the first forty seconds of the song "Heavy Metal". On the band's next album, Painkiller, another track (Metal Meltdown) was featured that contained a thirty-second intro of Downing and Tipton shredding unaccompanied.

1990 - Painkiller
is a 1990 gold-certifed album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album was recorded at Miraval Studios, Brignoles, France in early 1990, and mixed at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, the Netherlands later that year. It was the first album with current drummer Scott Travis. The original LP, cassette and CD versions were released on September 3, 1990. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance at the February 20, 1991 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Following the poor sales of the album Ram it Down, which was itself an attempt at reconciling with the public over the perceived sellout, Turbo, Judas Priest returned to their classic '70s style, while borrowing contemporary speed metal techniques, resulting in their most critically acclaimed album in a decade. The album is viewed by some as the quintessential speed metal album and the style proved highly influential to European power metal bands such as Gamma Ray and Primal Fear.
Following the tour for this album, singer Rob Halford left the band and maintained little contact with his former bandmates throughout the 1990s. The reason for this was due to growing tension in the band, although not, as popularly attributed, because of Halford's homosexuality. During the Painkiller tour in Toronto, Halford crashed his trademark Harley-Davidson motorcycle onstage, which became the catalyst for their break-up. Halford wanted to create his new band, Fight, and had to legally leave the band to allow his creation to be sold. Judas Priest declared that they did not exist anymore after Halford had left. They reunited in a few years, with singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens, with whom they soon recorded the album Jugulator, followed by Demolition.
In May 2006, In Metal Hammer's top 20 Albums of all time, Painkiller came in at Number 13.
The Painkiller
The Painkiller itself is one of a series of fictional messiahs created by Judas Priest. The Painkiller is described as a metal messiah sent to the world to destroy evil and rescue mankind from destruction . The Painkiller is believed to be inspired by the fallen angel from the Sad Wings of Destiny album cover that Judas Priest recorded early in their musical years. He also makes an appearance along with the Hellion (from Screaming for Vengeance) on the cover of Metal Works '73-'93.
The most noticeable feature of the Painkiller, besides his metal body is that he rides the metal monster; a motorcycle with a dragon for the chassis and two circular saws for wheels.

1997 - Jugulator
Jugulator is the 13th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, was released in Japan on October 16, 1997 and the rest of the world on October 28, 1997. It was the first of two studio albums featuring vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens. The album was a departure from their older style, referencing late 80s thrash reminiscent of Exodus, post-thrash, nu-metal and death metal. Priest's fantasy lyrics, usually cartoonish in nature, were hardened to deal with grittier and harsher themes such as the eponymous mechanized beast which disembowels its prey, and the end of the world in the song "Cathedral Spires". The guitars were also tuned down as low as C and C#.
The entire album seems to describe the end of the world, from the coming of the Jugulator ("Jugulator") to the actual ending of it ("Cathedral Spires"). The Jugulator itself seems to be a metaphor for the evil that is done in the world. Songs like "Dead Meat", "Decapitate" and "Burn in Hell" all describe the evils that humans do. In the end, the evil deeds are so great in number that it consumes and destroys the world.
Reaction to the album was roughly divided among those who enjoyed the album on its own terms, those who liked the music but preferred that Rob Halford would sing it, and those who disliked it on all counts. However, "Cathedral Spires" is generally regarded as a classic, even by some critics who disliked the rest of the album.
A music video was put into circulation for the song "Burn in Hell", though over 2 minutes of the song was removed in the final video. "Jugulator" and "Blood Stained" were also included on Judas Priest's box set Metalogy.

2001 - Demolition
Demolition is British heavy metal band Judas Priest's 14th studio album. It is the second and final studio album to feature Tim 'Ripper' Owens on vocals. Following the lukewarm reception to Jugulator, the band scrambled to assess what exactly went wrong and determined that fans preferred a sound more faithful to Priest's back catalogue. The resulting album would be an amalgam of Jugulator-style riffs, references to 80s Priest, and sporadic nu-metal additions such as quasi-rapping, samples, and industrial-style beats. While the ostensible aim was to offer something for every possible fan, in the end, the album received an even poorer reception than Jugulator by most fans and would result in the eventual reunion of classic lineup.
The songs "Machine Man" and "Feed on Me" were included in Judas Priest's box set Metalogy.
The album was produced by guitarist Glenn Tipton, who also took over as the primary songwriter with this album. For a long time, the band's main songwriting team had consisted of Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Tipton. However, after Halford departed from the band, Downing and Tipton went on to write all the songs on Jugulator. On this album, many of the songs were written solely by Tipton, with contributions from Downing on several songs. Former producer Chris Tsangarides, who co-wrote the song "A Touch of Evil" on the Painkiller album, also assisted Tipton in the writing of a few songs. Even drummer Scott Travis co-wrote the track "Cyberface", marking his first and only contribution to songwriting in the band's history, and breaking the record that former drummer Les Binks held for being the only Judas Priest drummer to co-write a song. This was also the first album since Painkiller to feature a guest appearance by keyboardist Don Airey, who had previously played on "A Touch of Evil".

2005 - Angel Of Retribution
is the 15th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in 2005. It marks the return of Rob Halford, after a 12 year departure from the band. The album debuted at #13 on the U.S. Billboard chart, making it the highest-ranking album the band has released to date (by comparison, British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance and Turbo had only achieved #17 after their respective debuts). It also marked the first time Judas Priest have been the number 1 artist on a national chart (in Greece). The album was produced by Roy Z, who co-penned Deal With The Devil.
Within the lyrics of the album, several references to past albums and songs are to found, as a way of showing that Priest has not forgotten where they came from. The song "Demonizer" references both "The Hellion" from Screaming for Vengeance as well as "Painkiller" from the eponymous album. "Hellrider" mentions both "Ram it Down" off the same-titled album, and "Tyrant" from Sad Wings of Destiny. "Eulogy" references "Stained Class" and "The Sentinel" from the albums "Stained Class" and "Defenders of the Faith", respectively. The song "Deal With the Devil" can be viewed as a biography of Judas Priest, telling their origins from the Black Country of England's West Midlands, mentioning their transitory days gigging around England and practicing at the Church of Holy Joseph in Walsall, which is where Judas Priest was effectively born.

2008 Nostradamus
(working title)
Nostradamus is a concept album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, focusing on the 16th century prophet Nostradamus. The album is currently in production and is expected to be released in early 2008. Guitarist K.K. Downing revealed in a February 2007 interview with Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles that 18 tracks have been recorded with a total length of more than 90 minutes. He also states that there is not much he would like to cut down, so Nostradamus could likely be Priest's first double album.
The album was originally intended to be released in late 2006 before being pushed to a 2007 release, and now is set to be released in 2008.
LIVE
1979 - Unleashed In The East (Live)
Unleashed in the East is Judas Priest's first live album, recorded live in Tokyo, Japan during the Hell Bent for Leather tour in 1979. They released it in October 1979.
This was the first of their albums to have Tom Allom as their producer: he would produce all subsequent albums up to, and including, 1988's Ram It Down.

Authenticity Rumors
There have been many rumours about the album's authenticity as a "live" recording over the years, with claims that most, if not all, of Rob Halford's vocal tracks were overdubbed in the studio, along with the guitar tracks of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. In particular, a popular rumour has it that the album was completely recorded in the studio, and cleverly engineered to sound like a "live" recording. Tipton has denied these claims, admitting, however, that some of Halford's vocals were "touched up" in the studio as his performance was affected by flu during the tour, along with "a couple" of guitar parts, hence the rumours about the album which some people jokingly refer to as "Unleashed In The Studio". However, bootlegs and/or radio broadcasts from this and other tours would indicate that Priest had no difficulty 'cutting it' live. There was also a rumour that the cover photo was taken in The Queensway Hall, Dunstable, England.
Reissues
The album was reissued on CD in 2001 with four bonus tracks, being "Rock Forever", "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Starbreaker". Three of these were from Hell Bent for Leather, their then-current album, which was not well-represented on the original release.
These four tracks were previously available on the Japanese pressing of the album (titled Priest In The East and having the same track-list as the remaster), and were recorded at the same time as the original nine tracks. Additionally, two more songs were recorded from the same concerts but were only available as B-sides on various singles: "Evil Fantasies" was on the "Living After Midnight" 12 inch, along with "Delivering the Goods". Concert classic "Beyond The Realms of Death" was pressed with "Rock Forever" and "Hell Bent for Leather" on a special 3 track live EP that came with initial UK pressings of "Unleashed In The East". There is also a 1979 UK cassette version with 12 songs: "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Beyond the Realms of Death" plus the original 9 tracks.
All the extra songs are fully produced, and are of the same quality as the original nine tracks. Certain bootlegs have turned up with all fifteen tracks put in the original setlist order, to better reflect the actual concerts of the 1979 tour (for the record, all the Unleashed in the East recordings were taken from 2 shows: Feb 13th and 15th, 1979). Two MORE songs, "White Heat, Red Hot" and "Take On the World" were performed but never officially recorded.
However, the "Take On the World" 12 inch single, released in late 1978, included a live version of "White Heat, Red Hot" recorded at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio on May 31, 1978 (on the Stained Class Tour). Live versions of "Beyond the Realms of Death" and "Starbreaker" recorded from the same 1978 Cleveland show were released as b-sides to the "Evening Star" 7 inch single and "Take on the World" 12 inch single, respectively. These tracks are available on the Priest, Live and Rare CD. They are not the same versions as on Unleashed in the East. The band was possibly trying to avoid repetition by not including songs on the official full-length live album that were already available as live versions on singles.

1987 - Priest...Live !
Priest...Live! is the second live album (and 12th overall) by Judas Priest, recorded during two shows in their World Tour of 1986.
All of the songs on Priest...Live! were recorded on their 1986 Fuel For Life tour which supported the Turbo album. There were no tracks from their 1970s albums, though the 2002 remastered version did contain "Hell Bent for Leather" as a bonus track. While it may have sounded more "live" than Unleashed in the East, Priest...Live! did not sell as well as that album but eventually went Gold in the US. The album received a negative review from All Music Guide (2/5 stars), but it currently has a 5/5 customer review rating on iTunes.
The version of "Heading Out to the Highway" on this album includes a separate solo by K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton that was not on the original studio version. The song is also longer due to the additional solos.
The version of "Breaking the Law" on this album includes a solo by K.K. Downing that was not on the original studio version. The song is also played at a faster tempo than the studio recording.
The album was first released on June 21, 1987. It was also re-released in a digitally remastered edition in 2002 with three bonus tracks.
Also, the video for this concert was featured on the Judas Priest video recap DVD "Electric Eye" in 2003.

Compilation albums / box sets
Sad Wings of Destiny is the second album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1976. It was the album that would establish the band as a major force in the heavy metal scene and ultimately moved them closer to commercial success. Alongside later albums such as British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and Painkiller, Sad Wings of Destiny is a favorite album amongst Judas Priest fans.
It is considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums since Black Sabbath's self-titled debut in 1970. Whilst the album contained some of the band's early stage material (for instance, "Victim of Changes" dated back to 1972, and was originally titled "Whiskey Woman"), it was a definite progression in style from their debut album Rocka Rolla. It was also a step forward from the style of early British heavy metal, especially on tracks such as "The Ripper", "Tyrant" and "Genocide".
The cover art for the album, titled "Fallen Angels," was illustrated Patrick Woodroffe. It is best known for introducing the pitchfork-like symbol known as the "Judas Priest Cross," as worn by the angel. [1]
The album was the only one by Judas Priest not to feature a title track up until 1980's British Steel (counting "Sinner" as the title track of 1977's Sin After Sin). However, when vocalist Rob Halford left to form his solo band Halford, the band's debut album featured a song named "Sad Wings" as a bonus track. During the chorus of the song, Halford sang the words "Sad Wings of Destiny". However, it is unlikely that the song had any other relations to Judas Priest, as it was credited to being written by the band's guitarists, Patrick Lachman and Mike Chlasciak, rather than any Judas Priest members.
Sad Wings of Destiny was Priest's last studio recording under Gull Records. Despite critical success, the band was struggling financially due to lack of support by the record label. Shortly after changing management, the band severed their ties with Gull and signed with Columbia Records. Consequently, Priest lost all rights to their first two albums and all demo recordings made during the sessions. [2]

1977 - Sin After Sin
Sin After Sin is the third album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1977. It was the band's first album released by Columbia Records after terminating their contract with Gull Records. (Consequently, Priest lost all rights to Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny, and any other demo recordings made during the production of the two albums.)[1] This album featured the drum work of a very young and upcoming session drummer, Simon Phillips, who was only 19 at the time of recording. The record features a cover of Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust", a track that would become a live favourite from then onwards. The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. One of the bonus tracks "Race With The Devil" was at first intended to take the place of "Diamonds & Rust" but their producer, Roger Glover, wanted them to switch to "Diamonds & Rust", saying that "It would fit along with the rest of the album better."
It is said that this album was supposed to be called "Island of Domination" after the song on "Sad Wings of Destiny" with a re-made version of "Island of Domination" as the title track, but they decided to call it "Sin After Sin" because of the popularity of the song "Sinner". The words "Sin After Sin" appear in the lyrics of a song featured on Sad Wings of Destiny called Genocide: "Sin after sin, I have endured... Yet the wounds I bear, are the wounds of love".
In 1988, Slayer covered the song "Dissident Aggressor" on their critically acclaimed South of Heaven album. Arch Enemy covered the song "Starbreaker", which was eventually released as a bonus track on the Wages of Sin album.

1978 - Stained Class
Stained Class is the fourth album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest, released in 1978.
Considered by most fans to be one of the high points of Judas Priest's catalogue and even their best by a large minority, Stained Class showcased a more streamlined songwriting style while not compromising on the band's trademark heavy metal riffs. The music and lyrics are savage, elegant, and dark. The writing, especially the lyrics, shows more skill than any other record in their catalogue. The production is crisper, clearer, and cleaner than any of their preceding albums. The cover introduced their classic logo, replacing the Gothic Script logo of earlier releases. Stained Class is considered by many to be the last of the four "classic" Judas Priest albums. It was highly influential in the development of the speed metal subgenre.
An unfortunate legacy of Stained Class is the 1990 civil action brought against the band by the family of a teenager who tried to kill himself after listening to "Better By You, Better Than Me" (along with a companion, who succeeded in his suicide attempt). The suit alleged that the band recorded messages on the song that, when played backwards, said “do it, do it.” The suit was eventually dismissed. Ironically, "Better..."" is not even a Judas Priest original, but a cover of a 1969 track by Spooky Tooth (written by that band's keyboardist Gary Wright).
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. In 2004, UK magazine Metal Hammer named Stained Class the heaviest metal album of all time.
This is the only Judas Priest album to feature songwriting by all five members (one of Ian Hill's few contributions to the songwriting process for the band, and the sole contribution thereof by then-drummer Les Binks - the guitar riff for Beyond the Realms of Death). 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.

1979 - Hell Bent For Leather
"Hell Bent for Leather" redirects here. For the Frankie Laine album of the same name, see Frankie Laine.
Killing Machine (US title: Hell Bent for Leather) is the fifth studio album by Judas Priest. The album was Judas Priest's first stab at a "different" sound, and was created at about the same time that the band members adopted their now-famous "leather-and-studs" style.
Killing Machine was retitled Hell Bent for Leather for Stateside release, as the US branch of Columbia/CBS did not like the "murderous implications" of the album title. Additionally, the track "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)", an early Fleetwood Mac cover, was added to the running order; it was not on the UK release.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. The bonus track "Fight for Your Life" was the "original" version of Judas Priest's "Rock Hard Ride Free" from their Defenders of the Faith album.

1980 - British Steel
British Steel is a heavy metal album by Judas Priest, released on April 14 1980 (see 1980 in music). The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added. It is one of their most popular recordings and is widely regarded as one of the band's best efforts, along with Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller.
"Breaking the Law", "United", and "Living After Midnight" were released as singles.
The album was recorded at Tittenhurst Park, which was the home of the Beatle Ringo Starr. Sampling did not yet exist at the time of recording, so the band recorded the sounds of smashing milk bottles to be included in "Breaking the Law", as well as various sounds in "Metal Gods" produced by "trays of cutlery" and "billiard cues."
The bonus track "Red, White, and Blue" was written sometime during the earlier years of Priest's career. It was recorded at Compass Point Studios in Nassau in July of 1985. Judas Priest explains this track in the remaster booklet as follows:
"This is a great song which was written as an anthem for audience participation AKA "United" or "Take On the World" and although a little tongue-in-cheek, it is also very patriotic and may bring a tear to your eye! We felt that the end tag of Rule Britannia was very fitting for a British band especially on an album entitled British Steel."
The second bonus track, a live performance of "Grinder", was recorded on May 5, 1984 in Los Angeles during the Defenders of the Faith tour.
Anthrax guitar player, Scott Ian said in an interview in the documentary Heavy Metal: Louder than Life that British Steel was probably the album that really defined heavy metal, because it, according to him, did away with the "last shards of blues" that had otherwise been characteristic of the genre. He said, "Even the title... how does it get more metal than that?"
It was featured in the Classic Albums documentary series.

1981 - Point of Entry
Point of Entry is a heavy metal and hard rock[1] album from the British band Judas Priest. It was released on February 26, 1981 .
In 1980 Judas Priest garnered some airplay with "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight" from their album British Steel. As a result the band pursued a more radio friendly direction on Point of Entry. The more blatant commercial direction alienated some longtime listeners.
Three singles were released from the album: "Heading Out to the Highway", "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin' ". They performed "Heading Out to the Highway" up until their Priest...Live! album, and "Hot Rockin' " is still performed today; two of which had accompanying music videos. On Priest's "re-united" tour in 2005, they also played Solar Angels on rare ocassions. On the Point Of Entry tour, Solar Angels was the opening song on every show.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added, a live version of "Desert Plains" and a track from the Ram It Down sessions.
The US and European album covers differed, this being repeated with the remaster.

1982 - Screaming For Vengeance
Screaming for Vengeance is the 8th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album featured a much more mainstream sound than previous albums, as evidenced in the single' "You've Got Another Thing Comin'. 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.
"From an unknown land and through distant skies came a winged warrior. Nothing remained sacred, no one was safe from the Hellion as it uttered its battle cry...Screaming for Vengeance."
-- Album back cover
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.
This album also includes their #1 hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" and one of their most-popular on-stage performances, "Electric Eye".
The band wrote about the bonus track "Prisoner of Your Eyes" in the remaster booklet as follows:
"This is one of two versions of this particular song - the second version having a different chorus. The majority of this track is still as it was put down at the time but with lead breaks from Glenn and K.K added at a later date. It's very emotional and epitomises the light and shade style of Judas Priest which is the trademark of the band."
The album came 15th on IGN's 25 most influential metal albums
The title song "Screaming for Vengeance" is played on the main site for the upcoming game Brutal Legend[1] , in which Rob Halford plays a character in the game named General Lionwhyte.

1984 - Defenders Of The Faith
Defenders of the Faith is the 9th studio album (10th overall) by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain and mixed from September to November 1983 at DB Recording Studios and Bayshore Recording Studios in Miami, Florida. The LP & cassette tape were released on January 4, 1984 and later appeared on CD in July. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001. Three tracks were released as singles, "Freewheel Burning", "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll", & "Love Bites".
"Rising from darkness where Hell hath no mercy and the screams for vengeance echo on forever. Only those who keep the faith shall escape the wrath of the Metallian... Master of all metal."
-- Album back cover
The cover art by Doug Johnson (who also designed the Hellion in Screaming for Vengeance) depicts the Metallian, a ram-horned, tiger-like land assault creature conceptualized by the band.
"Eat Me Alive" was listed at #3 on the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen," a list of 15 songs the organization found most objectionable. PMRC co-founder Tipper Gore stated the song was about oral sex at gunpoint. In response to the allegations, Priest recorded the song "Parental Guidance" on the follow-up album Turbo. A column of the same name is used in Guitar World Magazine where the editors release pictures and information of Guitar World readers.

1986 - Turbo
Turbo is the 11th album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest.
It was recorded at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas and mixed January - February 1986 at Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, California. This album was first released on April 15, 1986. A remastered CD was released in 2002, adding two bonus tracks. The album marked the band's first use of guitar synthesizers, which contributed to its sound.
Following the success of their previous album, Defenders of the Faith, Priest were at the peak of their popularity. Pressure from the record labels to sell ever more records led to the creation of a double album called "Twin Turbos", which was never released. Instead, the material was split, with the more commercial songs appearing on Turbo. While it sold well initially, going Gold (RIAA) on June 10, 1986 and Platinum on July 24, 1987 and reaching #33 in the UK and #17 on Billboard 200, the reaction from fans was negative. Sales tapered off and the live album from the subsequent tour tanked.
"Parental Guidance" was written and recorded in response to Tipper Gore's attack on the band. Her organization, the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), placed "Eat Me Alive" (from Defenders of the Faith) at #3 on their list of offensive songs (a.k.a. the "Filthy Fifteen"), as it allegedly was about performing oral sex at gunpoint. [1]
"Turbo Lover" was featured as one of the songs in the U.S. release of the 2001 PlayStation 2 game Gran Turismo 3.

1988 - Ram It Down
Ram It Down was an album recorded and released by Judas Priest in 1988. The album was remastered in 2001, with two live tracks added.
In 1986, Priest intended to record a double album called Twin Turbos of which half would be lighter, more commercial rock, and the other half would be similarly polished but heavier and less synth-driven. As it happened, record labels being notoriously timid about double albums, the project was split into two releases, with the heavier Twin Turbos material being relegated to this later album. While it largely failed to capture the metal public's approval, elements such as the more technical drumming, high speeds, and sci-fi themes prefigured their return-to-form classic, Painkiller. Judas Priest had also done a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode", which was the only single from this album. This would be the final album involving long-time drummer Dave Holland and producer Tom Allom.
This was the first album on which guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton adopted the use of the sweep-picking technique. It was the incorporation of this into their playing, as well as high-speed, technical soloing, that turned it into shred on this album. An example of Tipton's shredding can be heard unaccompanied during the first forty seconds of the song "Heavy Metal". On the band's next album, Painkiller, another track (Metal Meltdown) was featured that contained a thirty-second intro of Downing and Tipton shredding unaccompanied.

is a 1990 gold-certifed album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. The album was recorded at Miraval Studios, Brignoles, France in early 1990, and mixed at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum, the Netherlands later that year. It was the first album with current drummer Scott Travis. The original LP, cassette and CD versions were released on September 3, 1990. A re-mastered CD was released in May 2001. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance at the February 20, 1991 33rd Annual Grammy Awards.
Following the poor sales of the album Ram it Down, which was itself an attempt at reconciling with the public over the perceived sellout, Turbo, Judas Priest returned to their classic '70s style, while borrowing contemporary speed metal techniques, resulting in their most critically acclaimed album in a decade. The album is viewed by some as the quintessential speed metal album and the style proved highly influential to European power metal bands such as Gamma Ray and Primal Fear.
Following the tour for this album, singer Rob Halford left the band and maintained little contact with his former bandmates throughout the 1990s. The reason for this was due to growing tension in the band, although not, as popularly attributed, because of Halford's homosexuality. During the Painkiller tour in Toronto, Halford crashed his trademark Harley-Davidson motorcycle onstage, which became the catalyst for their break-up. Halford wanted to create his new band, Fight, and had to legally leave the band to allow his creation to be sold. Judas Priest declared that they did not exist anymore after Halford had left. They reunited in a few years, with singer Tim 'Ripper' Owens, with whom they soon recorded the album Jugulator, followed by Demolition.
In May 2006, In Metal Hammer's top 20 Albums of all time, Painkiller came in at Number 13.
The Painkiller
The Painkiller itself is one of a series of fictional messiahs created by Judas Priest. The Painkiller is described as a metal messiah sent to the world to destroy evil and rescue mankind from destruction . The Painkiller is believed to be inspired by the fallen angel from the Sad Wings of Destiny album cover that Judas Priest recorded early in their musical years. He also makes an appearance along with the Hellion (from Screaming for Vengeance) on the cover of Metal Works '73-'93.
The most noticeable feature of the Painkiller, besides his metal body is that he rides the metal monster; a motorcycle with a dragon for the chassis and two circular saws for wheels.

1997 - Jugulator
Jugulator is the 13th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, was released in Japan on October 16, 1997 and the rest of the world on October 28, 1997. It was the first of two studio albums featuring vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens. The album was a departure from their older style, referencing late 80s thrash reminiscent of Exodus, post-thrash, nu-metal and death metal. Priest's fantasy lyrics, usually cartoonish in nature, were hardened to deal with grittier and harsher themes such as the eponymous mechanized beast which disembowels its prey, and the end of the world in the song "Cathedral Spires". The guitars were also tuned down as low as C and C#.
The entire album seems to describe the end of the world, from the coming of the Jugulator ("Jugulator") to the actual ending of it ("Cathedral Spires"). The Jugulator itself seems to be a metaphor for the evil that is done in the world. Songs like "Dead Meat", "Decapitate" and "Burn in Hell" all describe the evils that humans do. In the end, the evil deeds are so great in number that it consumes and destroys the world.
Reaction to the album was roughly divided among those who enjoyed the album on its own terms, those who liked the music but preferred that Rob Halford would sing it, and those who disliked it on all counts. However, "Cathedral Spires" is generally regarded as a classic, even by some critics who disliked the rest of the album.
A music video was put into circulation for the song "Burn in Hell", though over 2 minutes of the song was removed in the final video. "Jugulator" and "Blood Stained" were also included on Judas Priest's box set Metalogy.

2001 - Demolition
Demolition is British heavy metal band Judas Priest's 14th studio album. It is the second and final studio album to feature Tim 'Ripper' Owens on vocals. Following the lukewarm reception to Jugulator, the band scrambled to assess what exactly went wrong and determined that fans preferred a sound more faithful to Priest's back catalogue. The resulting album would be an amalgam of Jugulator-style riffs, references to 80s Priest, and sporadic nu-metal additions such as quasi-rapping, samples, and industrial-style beats. While the ostensible aim was to offer something for every possible fan, in the end, the album received an even poorer reception than Jugulator by most fans and would result in the eventual reunion of classic lineup.
The songs "Machine Man" and "Feed on Me" were included in Judas Priest's box set Metalogy.
The album was produced by guitarist Glenn Tipton, who also took over as the primary songwriter with this album. For a long time, the band's main songwriting team had consisted of Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Tipton. However, after Halford departed from the band, Downing and Tipton went on to write all the songs on Jugulator. On this album, many of the songs were written solely by Tipton, with contributions from Downing on several songs. Former producer Chris Tsangarides, who co-wrote the song "A Touch of Evil" on the Painkiller album, also assisted Tipton in the writing of a few songs. Even drummer Scott Travis co-wrote the track "Cyberface", marking his first and only contribution to songwriting in the band's history, and breaking the record that former drummer Les Binks held for being the only Judas Priest drummer to co-write a song. This was also the first album since Painkiller to feature a guest appearance by keyboardist Don Airey, who had previously played on "A Touch of Evil".

2005 - Angel Of Retribution
is the 15th studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in 2005. It marks the return of Rob Halford, after a 12 year departure from the band. The album debuted at #13 on the U.S. Billboard chart, making it the highest-ranking album the band has released to date (by comparison, British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance and Turbo had only achieved #17 after their respective debuts). It also marked the first time Judas Priest have been the number 1 artist on a national chart (in Greece). The album was produced by Roy Z, who co-penned Deal With The Devil.
Within the lyrics of the album, several references to past albums and songs are to found, as a way of showing that Priest has not forgotten where they came from. The song "Demonizer" references both "The Hellion" from Screaming for Vengeance as well as "Painkiller" from the eponymous album. "Hellrider" mentions both "Ram it Down" off the same-titled album, and "Tyrant" from Sad Wings of Destiny. "Eulogy" references "Stained Class" and "The Sentinel" from the albums "Stained Class" and "Defenders of the Faith", respectively. The song "Deal With the Devil" can be viewed as a biography of Judas Priest, telling their origins from the Black Country of England's West Midlands, mentioning their transitory days gigging around England and practicing at the Church of Holy Joseph in Walsall, which is where Judas Priest was effectively born.

2008 Nostradamus
(working title)
Nostradamus is a concept album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, focusing on the 16th century prophet Nostradamus. The album is currently in production and is expected to be released in early 2008. Guitarist K.K. Downing revealed in a February 2007 interview with Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles that 18 tracks have been recorded with a total length of more than 90 minutes. He also states that there is not much he would like to cut down, so Nostradamus could likely be Priest's first double album.
The album was originally intended to be released in late 2006 before being pushed to a 2007 release, and now is set to be released in 2008.
LIVE
1979 - Unleashed In The East (Live)
Unleashed in the East is Judas Priest's first live album, recorded live in Tokyo, Japan during the Hell Bent for Leather tour in 1979. They released it in October 1979.
This was the first of their albums to have Tom Allom as their producer: he would produce all subsequent albums up to, and including, 1988's Ram It Down.

Authenticity Rumors
There have been many rumours about the album's authenticity as a "live" recording over the years, with claims that most, if not all, of Rob Halford's vocal tracks were overdubbed in the studio, along with the guitar tracks of Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. In particular, a popular rumour has it that the album was completely recorded in the studio, and cleverly engineered to sound like a "live" recording. Tipton has denied these claims, admitting, however, that some of Halford's vocals were "touched up" in the studio as his performance was affected by flu during the tour, along with "a couple" of guitar parts, hence the rumours about the album which some people jokingly refer to as "Unleashed In The Studio". However, bootlegs and/or radio broadcasts from this and other tours would indicate that Priest had no difficulty 'cutting it' live. There was also a rumour that the cover photo was taken in The Queensway Hall, Dunstable, England.
Reissues
The album was reissued on CD in 2001 with four bonus tracks, being "Rock Forever", "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Starbreaker". Three of these were from Hell Bent for Leather, their then-current album, which was not well-represented on the original release.
These four tracks were previously available on the Japanese pressing of the album (titled Priest In The East and having the same track-list as the remaster), and were recorded at the same time as the original nine tracks. Additionally, two more songs were recorded from the same concerts but were only available as B-sides on various singles: "Evil Fantasies" was on the "Living After Midnight" 12 inch, along with "Delivering the Goods". Concert classic "Beyond The Realms of Death" was pressed with "Rock Forever" and "Hell Bent for Leather" on a special 3 track live EP that came with initial UK pressings of "Unleashed In The East". There is also a 1979 UK cassette version with 12 songs: "Delivering the Goods", "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Beyond the Realms of Death" plus the original 9 tracks.
All the extra songs are fully produced, and are of the same quality as the original nine tracks. Certain bootlegs have turned up with all fifteen tracks put in the original setlist order, to better reflect the actual concerts of the 1979 tour (for the record, all the Unleashed in the East recordings were taken from 2 shows: Feb 13th and 15th, 1979). Two MORE songs, "White Heat, Red Hot" and "Take On the World" were performed but never officially recorded.
However, the "Take On the World" 12 inch single, released in late 1978, included a live version of "White Heat, Red Hot" recorded at the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio on May 31, 1978 (on the Stained Class Tour). Live versions of "Beyond the Realms of Death" and "Starbreaker" recorded from the same 1978 Cleveland show were released as b-sides to the "Evening Star" 7 inch single and "Take on the World" 12 inch single, respectively. These tracks are available on the Priest, Live and Rare CD. They are not the same versions as on Unleashed in the East. The band was possibly trying to avoid repetition by not including songs on the official full-length live album that were already available as live versions on singles.

1987 - Priest...Live !
Priest...Live! is the second live album (and 12th overall) by Judas Priest, recorded during two shows in their World Tour of 1986.
All of the songs on Priest...Live! were recorded on their 1986 Fuel For Life tour which supported the Turbo album. There were no tracks from their 1970s albums, though the 2002 remastered version did contain "Hell Bent for Leather" as a bonus track. While it may have sounded more "live" than Unleashed in the East, Priest...Live! did not sell as well as that album but eventually went Gold in the US. The album received a negative review from All Music Guide (2/5 stars), but it currently has a 5/5 customer review rating on iTunes.
The version of "Heading Out to the Highway" on this album includes a separate solo by K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton that was not on the original studio version. The song is also longer due to the additional solos.
The version of "Breaking the Law" on this album includes a solo by K.K. Downing that was not on the original studio version. The song is also played at a faster tempo than the studio recording.
The album was first released on June 21, 1987. It was also re-released in a digitally remastered edition in 2002 with three bonus tracks.
Also, the video for this concert was featured on the Judas Priest video recap DVD "Electric Eye" in 2003.

Compilation albums / box sets
METAL WORKS 1993
Metal Works is a compilation album by Judas Priest, released in 1993. A remastered edition was released in 2001, with the same tracklisting. All material was previously available. All albums to that date are represented with the exception of debut Rocka Rolla, although a live version of "Victim of Changes" is used rather than the studio version on Sad Wings of Destiny. This is more to do with the fact that the first two albums are on a different record label rather than the quality of material.
The band selected the tracks themselves, and make comments in the sleeve-notes.
As an album it showcases versatility of their musical career. This album also brought Rob Halford back into the fold for a short while following his departure from the band due to internal tensions.
The album cover by Mark Wilkinson (who had done the artwork for Ram It Down and Painkiller) combines elements from the band's previous releases. On the foreground are the Hellion (from Screaming for Vengeance) and the Painkiller (from the aptly-titled 1990 album). The underside of the Hellion's body is a razor blade (a reference to the album British Steel). On the lower left of the cover appear the following images: a female hand holding a gear shift knob (from Turbo), a mannequin wearing sunglasses and a studded leather headband (from Killing Machine/Hell Bent for Leather), The door and columns (from "Sin After Sin") in the lower right corner, The metallic head (from "Stained Class") in the smoke, and the Metallian (from Defenders of the Faith).

Metal Works is a compilation album by Judas Priest, released in 1993. A remastered edition was released in 2001, with the same tracklisting. All material was previously available. All albums to that date are represented with the exception of debut Rocka Rolla, although a live version of "Victim of Changes" is used rather than the studio version on Sad Wings of Destiny. This is more to do with the fact that the first two albums are on a different record label rather than the quality of material.
The band selected the tracks themselves, and make comments in the sleeve-notes.
As an album it showcases versatility of their musical career. This album also brought Rob Halford back into the fold for a short while following his departure from the band due to internal tensions.
The album cover by Mark Wilkinson (who had done the artwork for Ram It Down and Painkiller) combines elements from the band's previous releases. On the foreground are the Hellion (from Screaming for Vengeance) and the Painkiller (from the aptly-titled 1990 album). The underside of the Hellion's body is a razor blade (a reference to the album British Steel). On the lower left of the cover appear the following images: a female hand holding a gear shift knob (from Turbo), a mannequin wearing sunglasses and a studded leather headband (from Killing Machine/Hell Bent for Leather), The door and columns (from "Sin After Sin") in the lower right corner, The metallic head (from "Stained Class") in the smoke, and the Metallian (from Defenders of the Faith).
