Can't stand British Steel, but I like a few of their songs here and there. Really really like a few songs like Electric Eye:

How can you not love British Steel?

About 50% of my JP collection are remasters and all of them I bought second hand several years ago and cheaply. They all sound great whether they are the remasters or not.

Alright cool, it sounds like it doesn't matter then. And since the remasters have extra tracks...:p:

I paid around 3 pounds for each JP album, which I suppose is around $3.50 and it was the same price whether they were remasters or not.

i don even have an inkling whether my mp3s are remastered or not

the "hits" don't sound much different from my cassette comp

I freaking love JP. I have 80% of their albums I think. Best album is Sin After Sin. Best song is:

Am I the only one who thinks that Painkiller is overrated. Don't get me wrong, it kicks ass, but I far prefer the old school 70s and 80s Priest. It seems like some people want to says it's the best Priest album cause it's the most extreme. After a while it gets kind of dull to me though.

I agree with you, 70s and 80s Priest is better.

Totally agree.

I only like 3 songs off it. The title track, Touch Of Evil & Night Crawler.
Everything else on it is Judas Priest by numbers.

There's a Judas Priest bootleg kicking around of a radio show they did at the New York Palladium in 1977 on the Sin After Sin tour. I'd sell my mother to own that thing, they even open the gig with Let Us Prey/Call For The Priest. I've ALWAYS wanted to hear that played live.
It's also the only Priest tour I have nothing from, which is annoying because Sin After Sin might be my favourite Priest album. :(
