THINGS LOOK BETTER
WHEN SHE'S THROUGH
The Best of Judas Priest
is a compilation album
featuring select songs
from English
Heavy metal band
first two albums,
Rocka Rolla
(1974)
and
Sad Wings of Destiny
(1976).
Overview
After forming in 1969,
Judas Priest
signed with
Gull Records
in 1974.
When the band jumped to
CBS Records
in early 1977, t
hey had to break
their contract
with Gull
to do so.
In the legal fallout
that ensued,
the band forfeited
their rights
to all material
recorded With
Gull Records
The album is not a typical
"greatest hits"
type of collection
as the title would imply.
It was the first
of a handful
of releases
featuring material
Judas Priest
had recorded
during their time
with Gull,
and was produced
by the label
in an effort
to capitalize
on the band's
growing popularity.
As the band
had forfeited
their legal claim
to the music,
the album was
released
without
their consent
