Leader of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) movement Judas Priest released their first live album in 1979. It's awesome, and it's one of the first live albums I remember getting into. They were ferocious in concert, and that was evident in the many times that I've seen them. But there was always talent, and even melody. They were heavy and loud, but never sacrificed a well structured song for speed or bombast. What can I say, the band has been going strong for over FIFTY years, and is still releasing new music, still touring, and still relevant to this very day!

The '79 live album is called 'Unleashed in the East'. The cover is a shot of Rob, K.K., and Glenn. Doing what they do best. In today's rockin' good deal, you'll get a rare 10" picture disc called 'Unleashed Leftovers', and it's awesome! They put this on a 10" vinyl record, and used the artwork from the cover of 'Unleashed in the East' on both sides. There was a Japanese 7" vinyl EP that was released in 2001, and one side of this is those tracks. The other side is additional tracks. I added a pic of the songs that are on here, as they are hard to read on the vinyl itself. (And this contains two different versions of the song "Starbreaker".)

The record looks great, and is mostly still shiny and clean. There is one major flaw, however, and that's a nice scratch the length of one song on one side. (I can't vouch for the sound quality as I never play specialty vinyl such as pic discs or colored records.) But it's still an awesome souvenir of a great vintage live metal album. This will come in a clear generic PVC jacket.

I'll even add a couple of bonuses! You'll get the April 2005 issue of 'Revolver' magazine, with Rob, K.K., and Glenn on the cover. Incidentally, the same three that's on the cover of 'Unleashed' and the pic disc! Inside is an article about Priest that's several pages long. And the mag also features Motley Crue, Queens of the Stone Age, Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society, and more! In great condition, with no pages ripped or torn out, dog-eared or handwritten on. Only a little shelf-wear, mainly on the corners and spine.

The second magazine is from the UK, and is called 'Classic Rock' magazine. It's celebrating the FIFTY year anniversary of Judas Priest, and is the August 2021 issue. With tons of pics and interesting stuff about Priest! Another very cool bonus that's also in awesome condition...

Bring home the classic lineup of Judas Priest, and get ready to rock out with live cuts that didn't make the original 'Unleashed in the East' album! All put together on a rare and really nice 10" picture disc, and ready to be added to that collection of vinyl that you're working on.
