5. Judas Priest – Turbo box set (Japan CD, OBI)
12 bids
Sold: $205.41
Seller’s comments: The controversial 1986 album from Heavy Metal Legends – JUDAS PRIEST. This title will have Metal-heads and aficionados debating its worth and meaning until the end of time. This is an absolute classic in my book. Much like SAXON did with Innocence Has No Excuse, JUDAS PRIEST experimented with sounds of the time. But I challenge anyone to dismiss the unbelievably good songwriting, regardless of how heavy it is. One of my favourite Judas Priest releases. A classic then, a classic now. THIS IS THE FIRST JAPANESE CD ISSUE… ISSUED IN 1986… AND COMPLETE WITH THE BOX OBI STRIP (THAT SITS AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE JEWEL CASE). EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS. DON’T MISS IT!
