JUDAS PRIEST ‘SAD WINGS OF DESTINY’ 1976 FIRST PRESSING A1 + B1 VINYL LP IN NEAR MINT CONDITION

Sleeve Condition: Vague sticker glue residue to corners, otherwise Near Mint.

Record Condition: Stunning! Looks and before I tested it probably was, unplayed. Near Mint.

There really cannot be a better condition copy of this out there anywhere!

Frontman Rob Halford has considered this to be Judas Priest's SGT. PEPPER, and it's easy to see why. The album expanded upon the group's debut by tackling a variety of styles, utilising dynamics to striking effect, and establishing the essential guitar interplay between Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing. "Victim Of Changes" may be forever known for its snarling riffs and Halford's startling final scream, but its subdued mid-section enhances the power of those elements. "The Ripper" offers up Victorian horror, while "Tyrant" and "Island Of Domination" thunder along with metallic machismo.

The album has it softer side, however, notably the neo-classical rock instrumental "Prelude", the melancholy piano ballad "Epitaph", complete with crooning vocal harmonies, and the semi-acoustic existential contemplation "Dreamer Deceiver", a long-lost gem in the band's large oeuvre.

Every track on this album is a winner, and SAD WINGS OF DESTINY would become the first of several albums from Priest that would forever transform the world of heavy metal.
