I love all of Judas Priest's catalog but the 70's era is by far my favorite. Sad Wings Of Destiny, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent For Leather, and especially Unleashed In The East are AMAZING MASTERPIECES!!! I would have loved to have seen them live in the 70's. I do like some songs from Rocka Rolla also.

KKs legato vibrato solos are the psychedelic/ hendrixian thread through their early metal, sadly missed now. They convey emotion better than any fast arpeggio or scale can IMHO.

Gull Records was an absolutely shitty record label. But it did have one positive quality - their art director John Pasche. That man had a great mind for creating memorable album cover art. In addition to coming up with the Judas Priest's early Gothic band logo, it was him who designed the Sad Wings of Destiny cover. Sure, the painting itself was done by Patrick Woodroffe. But the image of a fallen angel in hell, wearing the infamous Judas Priest cross around his neck - that was all Pasche's vision.

Dude, that teacher of yours was a douche nozzle. A teachers job is to relay wisdom. That comment relays the fact that he/she had no wisdom to impart.
This album changed my life in music? I became a great guitar player and never looked back!
Thanks, K.K.AND ALL THE HEAVY METAL CREW WITH JUDAS PRIEST, KEEP ON ROCKING, TELL THE LAST SONG.
Every time KK posts these videos, all I can think of is how he needs some guitar stands. I'm sure there's a company out there who will give him a few for free?

benjo12345100 Yep, when comes to "Rock Stars" the movie of the same name, pups on my mind, you know, the scene in which they show all the band memorabillia set in luxury casquets, guitars, platinum records and stuff carefully stored...reality seems a little bit different tho ;)...

Oskar Toledo I love how most of that crap in that scene is judas priest related. That outfit that was rob Halford with the cap was a pure ripoff

They are v's dude...no stand needed
Bloody genius way ahead of there time ! I lived it ,caught it when it first came out !
Nice video. It looks like Ken has had fun making the video, and it certainly was enjoyable to me and put a smile on my face. I'm looking forward to the new KK's Priest album. 🤘🏻
So much to thank you for.... it transcends the senses..
Is it really 40 years, oh man how time zips by. Have to say a big thanks for all the times you came out and let us in at all the gigs around the London , St Albans, Watford areas, as well as a host of others. From 74 onwards until it just became to much hassle to convince the bouncers we knew you and we had to pay, heaven forbid. haha They were great days and you always asked our opinion about the shows after each gig, Great times,
A Masterpiece love sad wings of Destiny🤘🤘
A great album from the great musical year of 1976... Kiss Destroyer & Rock And Roll Over, Aerosmith Rocks, AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Cheap, Thin Lizzy Jailbreak and Johnny The Fox, Led Zeppelin The Song Remains The Same and Presence, Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy, UFO No Heavy Petting, Ted Nugent Free For All, Alice Cooper Goes To Hell, Etc. I listen to it on my iPod now but I still have the record in my collection. Still sounds amazing 40 years later.
... and the Gull era Diamonds and Rust was recorded during the Sad Wings sessions
Top Notch as always sir
KK is so cool!
No KK no Priest! The other guys can keep the Judas. KK rules!
Still got my copy from back then. I was even in a band called 'Jack The Ripper' in Luton named after the track on the album.
My favourite album ever.
KK is the best.
I'll gave yo a fiver KK for it .. ok bab ........ thanks for so many Priestful memories. I heard a frustrated with numpty customers checkout lady of considerable age shout "Good God, pluck me" in Tesco's a few months ago.. I wanted to hug her !
Had the 8 Track. Had but,it does what 8 tracks do wear out and brake . Wish I had bought the record ,but can not find it as new. Think it is special with the artistry and the musics artistry also.The best when Priest played Victim of Changes and the great Re- make of Green Manalishi in the same live music set. Seen it done in 82 and the Ram it Down tour in Detroit Michigan! Man it JUST ROCKED!
KK is the best
Great Album
KK #1
I believe AL Atkins contributed a song on this album.
Thank you for sharing ✌️️
Used to sing along with Rob in my bedroom playing on 10. Great times
Judas priest, nice song TURBO LOVER and many more....
This video was uploaded on my 13th birthday.
KK downing needs to be back in Priest could you imagine Priest with KK downing and Richie Faulkner writing material together and playing live why I would actually buy a new CD I would even break down and go see them play
Hey nice presenation! One of my all time favorite Priest albums of all time. I absolutely love Victim of Changes. Great great song! Way ahead of its time. I have to ask what were the guitars that you were using on that song and all the songs? Can you provide me with some info what guitars and amps you used? Thanks. I wish you continued success in your music...
I told my dad that there is a 40th anniversary and he answered: Oh, don't tell me things like that! Ouch, I was twelve years old when it came up... Yikes, fourty years ago... That was the first studio album of Judas Priest which I heard.

And stops when you're waiting for a concert or new Judas Priest album, or might KK return... :P
Kenny? did this bring back some memories and inspirational ideas
My favorite Priest Album followed by Stained Class.
I made that journey with you guys, I even remember playing a cover of beyond the realm's of death at a pub in Earlswood, long ago and even spending time in a band with Al Atkins brother in law. Many years later...good times.
Cool unfortunately 4 Dislikes from Lady Gaga fans
so before it's time
The Spanish version is the only one I don't have. It's hard to get hold of that version and it can be expensive 😔
Mine is so Old the cover is thick cardboard it a original I've had since I was a kid a great Head phone record
I want that vinyl!
KK fix that cam focus dude:)
KK, please tell everyone that album starts with Prelude and not Victim of Changes. Put an end to the confusion once and for all.
"Deceiver" sounds better as the album's closer. Who came up with idea of swapping sides on this album?
I never understand why Andy and not Kenny !!! Ken is the real guitarist. Sad for Glenn
Who the hell managed to film him out of focus, and in seemingly 240p resolution?
My first choice........sad wings!!!!
Somebody know what t-shirt K.K is wearing??
Ken, that is awesome !! To bad those wankers at Gull records are petty SPHINCTER FACED arse holes ! They keep repackaging Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny !! Blessings to you and your family. You will always be respected and loved here across the pond in Utah, U.S.A ✌
'just took a sandwich and beer brake...' Haha It's all very well for some mr downing.
how about a 40th anniversary BOx set???

+DelicateSoundOfThund I think they have problems with the rights. As far as I know Sony/Columbia do not have the right for the records before "Sin After Sin".
