JUDAS PRIEST / REMASTER

JUDAS PRIEST – Point Of Entry [Japanese Remastered Edition +2]

As requested, here’s the underrated JUDAS PRIEST strong piece of metal ”Point Of Entry”, in its remastered Japanese edition including 2 bonus tracks.
”Point Of Entry” will always be one of those “other” Judas Priest albums. It will always just be “the album that came after British Steel” or “the one that came before Screaming for Vengeance“.
It did fine (500,000 US sales the first year) and spawned a killer single called “Heading Out to the Highway”, but it didn’t make history like the other two records. And it’s a shame.
However, over the years, ”Point Of Entry” has garnered accolades as a very good album, and some fans pick this one as their favorite Judas Priest album. No better than this Japanese edition to re-discover this LP.

JUDAS PRIEST – British Steel [Japan Special 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition + bonus] Out of Print

Iconic. This is the perfect word for ”British Steel”, the sixth studio album of JUDAS PRIEST, the LP which kick-started heavy metal’s glory days of the 1980s and opened doors for the NWoBHM explosion.
As requested, here’s the ‘Special 30th Anniversary Remastered‘ Japanese edition, including bonus tracks.
This is a really good remaster enhancing the early ’80s production values courtesy of master Tom Allom, plus worthwhile extras and refreshed artwork.
Classic Album, Classic Songs. Classic Priest.
Killer

JUDAS PRIEST – Turbo 30 [Remastered Japanese 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]

As requested here’s JUDAS PRIEST 1986 album ”Turbo”, in its Japanese boxed-digipak 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, fully remastered and featuring a previously unreleased 1986 live recording at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City into 2 extra discs.
Back when appeared, “Turbo” divided waters. For those who weren’t there in 1986, listening the album now – with this pristine remastering job – it’s easily seen as a product of its time: lots of guitar synths, keyboards, triggered drums… and some darn catchy tunes.
Yeah, this is a different Judas Priest, not heavy metal, just middle-Eighties commercial stuff.
And I like it.

JUDAS PRIEST – Defenders Of The Faith [30th Anniversary Remastered 3xCD Japan Edition] Out of print

Sandwiched between the bona fide metal classic Screaming For Vengeance and perhaps JUDAS PRIEST’s most controversial album, the synth-guitar laden Turbo, “Defenders Of The Faith” often seems to be an overlooked gem in the band’s catalog.
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, Judas Priest released this three-disc digipak including a newly remastered version of the album, which also includes a 21-song live set from Long Beach Arena in 1984 taped during the album tour, into 2 discs.
Though British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance usually get the praise, “Defenders Of The Faith” is their equal, and there’s no better way than this Japanese Edition 3-CD Anniversary Remaster to rediscover it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

JUDAS PRIEST – Screaming For Vengeance [Japan Special 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition + bonus]

As requested, here’s JUDAS PRIEST 1982 classic album “Screaming For Vengeance” in its ‘Special 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition‘ Japanese edition, remastered including bonus tracks.
The band’s eighth album has been their biggest commercial success and was their first record to go double-platinum. It included the hit singles “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin” and “Electric Eye”.
“Prisoner Of Your Eyes” is a studio track from the ‘Turbo’ recording sessions, while the others are previously unreleased live takes recorded at a 1982 San Antonio, Texas concert, with Judas at the peek of their popularity.
Really good remaster enhancing the ’80s production values courtesy of master Tom Allom, plus worthwhile extras and refreshed artwork.
Classic Album, Classic Songs. Classic Priest. Play it with vengeance turned to 11.

GLENN TIPTON / JUDAS PRIEST

GLENN TIPTON – Baptizm Of Fire (Japan Edition Expanded & Remastered)

As an original member of heavy metal forefathers Judas Priest, guitarist GLENN TIPTON has engaged audiences for nearly four decades with his aggressive yet melodic guitar playing.
The reason there was such a gap between Priest’s Painkiller (1990) and Jugulator (1997), other than the fact that they had to find someone worthy of replacing singer Rob Halford, was perhaps because main songwriter Glenn Tipton wrote and recorded 2 albums worth of material under his own name; Edge Of The World and this “Baptizm Of Fire“.
Displaying a wide range of styles ranging from bluesy hard rock, classical, classic rock and traditional British metal, all coalesce in this rockin’ album, and Tipton (who also sings) gets to work in song formats not common to Judas Prie

JUDAS PRIEST – Sad Wings Of Destiny [Limited Edition 180g LP] (2018)

Here’s one I was waiting for to replace my old, dead-wasted original vinyl, the Limited Edition (500 copies) 180g LP release of JUDAS PRIEST‘s “Sad Wings Of Destiny“.This album is a pillar in metal / hard rock history, and always suffered from horrible, failed reissues. It’s simple; “Sad Wings Of Destiny” born analog, and it doesn’t suit digital treatment. “Sad...

* Having already received great reviews and fans approval, the just released new JUDAS PRIEST album “Redeemer Of Souls” is presented as well in its Deluxe Edition, featuring a 5-track bonus disc. Glen Tipton said these songs were deliberately isolated from the rest of the album due to tone, so they really deserve to be treated as optional extras rather...
