A compilation of the treasure sound sources of our steel god is reprinted. Introducing in the 2nd press. From the super rare demos before joining Glenn Tipton to the official tracks that have disappeared into the darkness of history, to the latest radio broadcasts, this is a large collection of rare tracks that are particular about rarity and quality.
It is best to explain this kind of rare track collection individually. Let’s take a closer look.

● DISC 1
1. Whiskey Woman (Unreleased Demo 1973)
From a hidden treasure that suddenly makes you dizzy. A super rare track that was the only studio recording before “ROCKA ROLLA” and was not recorded in the huge box “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC”. An early version of the representative song “Victim Of Changes”, recorded before joining Glenn Tipton. It is awakened from Master Lille, which was owned by Norman Hood, an agent at the time.

2. Running From My Soul (Live 1974 with Budgie)
This is also an extremely rare track before joining Glen. On this day, JUDAS PRIEST was performing live at the Marquee Club as the undercard of BUDGIE, and it is a recording when he jumped in and participated in the encore of BUDGIE. It’s the only audience recording in this work, but it’s the best sound that can be heard side by side with a studio demo.

3. Rocka Rolla (Long Version)
Approximately 4 minutes long version recorded only on the first original LP of the British GULL label. Since then, all the reissues up to the present have been replaced with a single version of about 3 minutes. Of course, it has not been officially released on CD.

4. The Ripper (Cleveland 1978)
5. Victim Of Changes (Cleveland 1978)
6. Tyrant (Cleveland 1978)
7. Genocide (Cleveland 1978)
The sound board of “Cleveland performance on May 7, 1978”, which is famous for official singles and radio broadcasts. In the official single, “TAKE ON THE WORLD” included “White Heat, Red Hot” and “Starbreaker”, and “EVENING STAR” included “Beyond The Realms Of Death”. 4 songs are recorded with the highest sound quality ever. Also, this sound source was formalized in “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC”, but “Tyrant” was not recorded there either.

8. White Heat, Red Hot (BBC 1978)
9. Victim Of Changes (BBC 1978)
10. Beyond The Realms Of Death (BBC 1978)
11. Running Wild (BBC 1978)
12. Starbreaker (BBC 1978)
The BBC live of “October 23, 1978” was recorded with the highest sound quality ever.

13. Evil Fantasies (Kosei Nenkin Kaikan 1979)
Live at Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, Tokyo 10th February 1979 Evening Show from BREAKING THE LAW UK 12 “Single”
A take that was not recorded on the famous board “UNLEASHED IN THE EAST” but was released on the B side of the single “LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT”. It was made into a CD in the official box “SINGLE CUTS”, but the MC at the beginning was cut there. This work is an uncut version.

● DISC 2
1. Beyond The Realms Of Death (Nakano Sun Plaza 1979)
A version that was not recorded in the main body of “UNLEASHED IN THE EAST”, but was recorded only in the bonus 7 inch of the UK version. Of course, it is a hidden treasure take that is not recorded on the remastered CD.

2. Troubleshooter (Chicago 1981)
Sound board for “June 21, 1981 Chicago performance”. This live has a full-length version of the radio broadcast, but in this work it was reprinted from the 12-inch promo limited to the United States. This is another dazzling treasure take where you can listen to the extremely rare “Troubleshooter” with the official sound.

3. Metal Gods (BBC 1981)
4. You Don’t Have To Be Old To Be Wise (BBC 1981)
Although it is a BBC live in 1981 that is familiar to collectors, this work contains two songs that first appeared that were discovered in recent years.

5. Freewheel Burning (Long Version)
This is a gem! It is a 12-inch version that is famous for collectors, but for some reason it is a long version that was ignored even in “SINGLE CUTS”. A guitar intro has been added to the super masterpieces that represent heavy metal, making it even more dramatic and a must-listen treasure for all metal players !!

6. Turbo Lover (Hi-Octane Mix Short Version)
A short version of Hi-Octane Mix recorded only on the American single of “TURBO LOVER”. The full length version of 7 minutes 21 seconds was officially made into a CD with “PRIEST, LIVE AND RARE”, but this is the “3 minutes 59 seconds” version that has not been made into a CD. It’s a masterpiece take that is cleaner than the slightly redundant full-length version, and you can taste only the taste of the remix.

7. You Are Everything (Unreleased Demo 1988)
Kotetsushin sings Philadelphia Soul !? A cover of THE STYLISTICS recorded with Eurobeat producer team Stock Aitken Waterman. The track was edited for only about a minute, but it’s proof of a rare collaboration that everyone couldn’t help but think, “That’s not it!” In addition to this cover, the original songs “Run around” and “I Will Return” were also recorded, but in the end it was a crap. The band is trying to return to the origin with “RAM IT DOWN”. It’s Sorya likely…….

8. You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'(Live Rock in Rio 2)
Sound board when ROCK IN RIO appeared in 1991. It is a famous live that was also broadcast on TV, but this work is reprinted from the broadcast CD of WESTWOOD ONE. You can enjoy it with the perfect sound that surpasses all air checks.

9. Breaking The Law (A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE iTunes Bonus)
10. Angel (A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE Russian Bonus)
Bonus track of the official live board “A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE”. “Breaking The Law” was only available for download, and “Angel” was only available on the Russian version. Both were live in 2008, and especially “Angel” is a valuable live take that was played only during this period.

11. Dragonaut (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
12. Metal Gods (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
13. Devil’s Child (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
14. Victim Of Changes (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
15. Hall Of Valhalla (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
“REDEEMER OF SOULS TOUR 2014-2015” only sound board sound source. This is a radio broadcast of “June 6, 2015 Sweden Rock Festival”.

A total of 28 songs 2 hours 35 minutes 37 seconds that spell out the history of the steel god with a back take. This is a permanent storage board that packs 2 CDs of hidden treasures that most of them cannot be heard even in “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC”. A back masterpiece that complements the official archive that is out of reach of the itch. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.

★ Compilation 2CD that collects rare tracks of the steel god. Long version of “Rocka Rolla” and “Freewheel Burning” that had disappeared into the darkness of history from the super rare tracks “Whiskey Woman” and “Running From My Soul (Live 1974 with Budgie)” before joining Glen, limited to promo singles Live take, and even the cover of THE STYLISTICS. A total of 28 songs, 2 hours 35 minutes 37 seconds, with a focus on rarity and quality. This is a back take collection full of hidden treasures that cannot be heard even in “50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC”.

我らが鋼鉄神の秘宝音源を集成したコンピレーションの大名盤が復刻。2ndプレスで登場です。グレン・ティプトン加入前の激レア・デモから歴史の闇に消えかけていた公式トラック、さらには最新ラジオ放送に至るまで、レア度とクオリティにこだわりまくったレア・トラックの一大コレクションです。
この手のレア・トラック集の紹介は、個別に解説していくのが一番。さっそく詳しく見ていきましょう。

●DISC 1
1. Whiskey Woman (Unreleased Demo 1973)
いきなり目眩のするような秘宝から。『ROCKA ROLLA』以前、唯一のスタジオ・レコーディングで、今話題の巨大ボックス『50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC』にも収録されていない激レア・トラック。グレン・ティプトン加入前の録音で、代表曲「Victim Of Changes」の初期バージョン。当時のエージェントだったノーマン・フッドが所有していたマスター・リールから起こされています。

2. Running From My Soul (Live 1974 with Budgie)
こちらもグレン加入前の激レア・トラック。この日、JUDAS PRIESTはBUDGIEの前座としてマーキー・クラブでライヴを行っていましたが、そのBUDGIEのアンコールに飛び入り参加した際の録音です。本作で唯一のオーディエンス録音ですが、スタジオ・デモと並べて聴いても遜色ない最高のサウンドです。

3. Rocka Rolla (Long Version)
英国GULLレーベルの初回オリジナルLPのみに収録された約4分のロング・バージョン。その後現在に至るまでの再発盤はすべて約3分のシングル・ヴァージョンに差し替えられています。もちろん、公式では未CD化。

4. The Ripper (Cleveland 1978)
5. Victim Of Changes (Cleveland 1978)
6. Tyrant (Cleveland 1978)
7. Genocide (Cleveland 1978)
公式シングルやラジオ放送でも有名な「1978年5月7日のクリーヴランド公演」のサウンドボード。公式シングルでは『TAKE ON THE WORLD』に「White Heat, Red Hot」と「Starbreaker」、『EVENING STAR』に「Beyond The Realms Of Death」の計3曲が収録されましたが、本作ではそれ以外の4曲を過去最高の音質で収録しています。また、この音源は『50 HEAVY METAL YEARS OF MUSIC』で公式化されましたが、そこでも「Tyrant」は収録されませんでした。

8. White Heat, Red Hot (BBC 1978)
9. Victim Of Changes (BBC 1978)
10. Beyond The Realms Of Death (BBC 1978)
11. Running Wild (BBC 1978)
12. Starbreaker (BBC 1978)
「1978年10月23日」のBBCライヴを過去最高の音質で収録しました。

13. Evil Fantasies (Kosei Nenkin Kaikan 1979)
Live at Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, Tokyo 10th February 1979 Evening Show from BREAKING THE LAW UK 12″ Single
名盤『UNLEASHED IN THE EAST』には収録されず、シングル『LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT』のB面で公開されたテイク。公式ボックス『SINGLE CUTS』でCD化されたのですが、そこでは冒頭のMCがカットされていました。本作はカットなしヴァージョンです。

●DISC 2
1. Beyond The Realms Of Death (Nakano Sun Plaza 1979)
『UNLEASHED IN THE EAST』の本体には収録されず、UK盤のボーナス7インチにのみ収録されていたバージョン。もちろん、リマスターCDにも収録されていない秘宝テイクです。

2. Troubleshooter (Chicago 1981)
「1981年6月21日シカゴ公演」のサウンドボード。このライヴはラジオ放送の全長版もありますが、本作ではアメリカ限定のプロモ12インチから復刻しました。激レアな「Troubleshooter」を公式サウンドで聴ける、これまた目も眩むようなお宝テイクです。

3. Metal Gods (BBC 1981)
4. You Don’t Have To Be Old To Be Wise (BBC 1981)
コレクターには馴染みのある1981年のBBCライヴですが、本作では近年になって発掘された初登場の2曲を収録しました。

5. Freewheel Burning (Long Version)
これぞ珠玉! コレクターには有名な12インチ・バージョンなのですが、なぜか『SINGLE CUTS』でも無視された長尺版。ヘヴィメタルを代表する超名曲にギターイントロが追加され、より一層劇的になった全メタル者必聴のお宝です!!

6. Turbo Lover (Hi-Octane Mix Short Version)
『TURBO LOVER』のアメリカ盤シングルにのみに収録されたHi-Octane Mixのショート・バージョンです。7分21秒の全長版は『PRIEST, LIVE AND RARE』で公式CD化されましたが、こちらは未CD化の「3分59秒」バージョン。やや冗長だった全長版よりもスッキリとしていて、リミックスの旨みだけが美味しく味わえる傑作テイクです。

7. You Are Everything (Unreleased Demo 1988)
鋼鉄神がフィラデルフィア・ソウルを歌う!? ユーロビートのプロデューサーチーム、ストック・エイトキン・ウォーターマンと共に録音されたTHE STYLISTICSのカバー。約1分のみに編集されたトラックですが、誰しもが“そりゃないよ!”と思わずにはいられなかった珍コラボの証拠です。このカバーの他、オリジナル曲「Runaround」「I Will Return」も録音されたそうですが、結局はボツ。バンドは『RAM IT DOWN』で原点回帰を図るわけです。そりゃそうですよね……。

8. You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’ (Live Rock in Rio 2)
1991年のROCK IN RIO出演時のサウンドボード。テレビ放送もされた有名ライヴですが、本作ではWESTWOOD ONEの放送用CDより復刻。あらゆるエアチェックを凌駕するパーフェクトなサウンドでお楽しみいただけます。

9. Breaking The Law (A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE iTunes Bonus)
10. Angel (A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE Russian Bonus)
公式ライヴ盤『A TOUCH OF EVIL-LIVE』のボーナストラック。「Breaking The Law」はダウロード販売のみ、「Angel」はロシア盤のみに収録されていました。どちらも2008年のライヴで、特に「Angel」はこの時期にしか演奏されていない貴重なライヴテイクです。

12. Metal Gods (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
13. Devil’s Child (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
14. Victim Of Changes (Sweden Rock Festival 2015)
