JUDAS PRIEST's ROB HALFORD And GLENN TIPTON Discuss Importance Of 'Turbo' (Video)

December 19, 2016

British metal legends JUDAS PRIEST have announced the reissue of their tenth studio album, "Turbo". The album has been remastered and will be released via Sony Music on February 3, 2017 on 3 CD (the original album and 2 bonus discs) as well as 1LP 150-gram vinyl.

A video clip of JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford and guitarist Glenn Tipton discussing "Turbo" and the importance of the record in the band's legacy can be seen below.

Originally released in 1986, "Turbo" features all the hallmarks of classic PRIEST on tracks such as "Turbo Lover", "Parental Guidance" and "Locked In".

Included on disc 2 and 3 of the CD reissue is, previously unreleased, "Live in Kansas City", a live recording from the band’s 1986 "Fuel For Life" tour in support of "Turbo".

JUDAS PRIEST says: The '80s is considered to have been the best decade for heavy metal — JUDAS PRIEST roared through it and at the half way point went into unchartered territory with 'Turbo'. Always believing that metal should have no boundaries, PRIEST challenged themselves taking on board new technical inventions to create fresh ideas and push their sound forward. The combined songs show another side of PRIEST's range of creativity that captures a theme and energy infused with the over the top sensibilities of that era. The 'Fuel For Life' tour certainly encapsulated the decadence of the times! 'Turbo' remastered and accompanied by a pedal to the metal live recording from Kansas reveals PRIEST on high octane — raising fists and devil horns to the next level."
