The year
was 1986 and hard rock music was beginning to make it's way to the
mainstream, as bands like Motley Crue, Poison and Van Halen were heating
up the singles charts. Also, the synthesizer was being introduced into
heavy metal music as bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were
looking to streamline their sounds. After the hard-edged album,
"Defenders Of Faith," Judas Priest polished their sound with the release
of the their tenth studio album "Turbo." It would reach #17 on the
Billboard album chart, sell over a million copies and would become one
of their biggest selling albums.
On
February 3rd, Sony Music will be releasing a 3CD deluxe edition of the
album. It will feature a newly remastered version of the "Turbo" album.
The sound of guitar synthesizers shine through on songs like "Turbo
Lover" and "Private Property" as Judas Priest searched for mainstream
commercial success. The addictive chorus of "Parental Guidance" became
the battle cry for fans to fight against the government for censoring
heavy metal music. They would introduce a more electronic sound with
"Out In The Cold," before showcasing their musical muscle with "Hot For
Love."
Judas
Priest fans will want to pick up this new deluxe edition of "Turbo"
because of the previously unreleased "Live In Kansas City" live
recording from the band's "Fuel For Life" tour. Discs two and three
feature the complete show. Five the of 20 songs from the show are from the "Turbo"
album, while others include such Judas Priest classics as "Breaking The
Law," "Living After Midnight" and "You've Got Another Thing Coming." The
sound of the show is great, professionally recorded and the songs have
that harder, heavy metal edge when fatured in this live setting. A much-welcomed
addition to the "Turbo" album. To find out more about the new deluxe
edition of Judas Priest's "Turbo," please visit judaspriest.com.
