Not only is Judas Priest's 1980 release BRITISH STEEL one of its very best albums, it also proved to be one of heavy metal's all-time classics. After Priest spent the '70s honing its dark, heavy-duty metal to perfection, the band decided to inject more melody and universal themes into the mix for BRITISH STEEL.

It was rewarded with two of its best known anthems--"Breaking the Law," and "Living After Midnight." Also included here are such metallic gems as "Rapid Fire," "Metal Gods," and "Grinder," establishing Judas Priest as one of the leaders of the early-'80s new wave of British heavy metal.

Digitally remastered by Jon Astley.

Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass); Dave Holland (drums).

Recording information: Trident Studios, London, England (1980).Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.113) - Ranked #68 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...The heartbreaker here is 'She's Out of My Life'....The record also features undeniable up-tempo tracks..."
Q (8/00, p.127) - Included in Q's "Best Metal Albums Of All Time" - "...3 of the 9 tracks became Top 30 hits, but it was the raw riffage and unashamed heavy metalness of 'Rapid Fire', 'Steeler' and 'Grinder' which made BRITISH STEEL so influential..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "To define heavy metal to someone who has never heard it, simply furnish them with a copy of BRITISH STEEL."

4 stars Excellent foundation
British Steel is a must-have for anyone who is not only a serious metal fan, but also a Judas Priest fan. The music is hard-driving, basic, and not over-produced. The music and lyrics are kept simple and lay a great foundation for all Judas Priest music that would follow. It's a definite winner!

5 stars Brings Back Fond Memories
This is the first thing I ever heard by JP when I was just a little kid. I recall first hearing it on vinyl. Alas! Those were the days. But nevertheless, it translates excellent onto CD, what with the digital remastering and all. This is an outstanding Priest album with several wonderfully crafted metal tracks. Among them are Breaking the Law, United, Grinder, Living After Midnight, and, who can forget, Rapid Fire. If you only buy one JP release in your entire life, make it this one.

Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance CD  (1982)

British Steel
CD $6.79  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Also available in a 3-pack with BRITISH STEEL and POINT OF ENTRY. In the early '80s, a new musical movement, dubbed "The New Wave of British Metal," swept across England. The conspirators include such heavy bands as Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Saxon, and Def Leppard, but Judas Priest is often credited as the originator and leader of the pack. Rob Halford's vocal histrionics and the dual guitar attack of K.K. Downing and Glen Tipton mesmerized metal-heads everywhere. While Priest had been together since the early-'70s, the band's big U.S. breakthrough came with 1982's SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE. Like most other metal bands that broke through in the early '80s (Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, etc.), Judas Priest took advantage of the then-developing video medium. MTV put the clip for "You Got Another Thing Coming" in heavy rotation, and the song became one of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems. Other album tracks, such as "The Hellion," "Electric Eye," "(Take These) Chains," "Devil's Child," and the title composition, were all prime metal cuts. With its perfect balance of heavy riffing and melodicism, ...

British Steel
CD $7.59  4.3 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Also available in a 3-pack with BRITISH STEEL and SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE. During Judas Priest's lengthy and successful career, at certain times the band has tried to crossover to a wider, not strictly headbanging audience. While 1986's TURBO is Priest's most obvious attempt in this direction, 1981's POINT OF ENTRY comes a close second. After the release of BRITISH STEEL, its most successful album yet, the band decided to take the singalong anthem direction of "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight" one step further with POINT OF ENTRY. Such tracks as "Hot Rockin'," "Heading Out to the Highway," and "Don't Go," were all early MTV favorites, ...

Principally recorded at Chipping Norton Studios, Cotswold, England in 1978. Includes liner notes by Judas Priest. After the stunning success of 1977's SIN AFTER SIN, Judas Priest offered another exceptional album with its follow-up one year later, STAINED CLASS. Though disco and punk were grabbing all the headlines in the late '70s, Priest turned a deaf ear to these new musical developments, and stuck to its heavy metal guns. Rarely has metal sounded ...

Judas Priest's 1979 release, HELL BENT FOR LEATHER (titled KILLING MACHINE in Europe), continued the band's late '70s winning streak, which included such metal classics as SAD WINGS OF DESTINY, SIN AFTER SIN, and STAINED CLASS.

Sesshin
Sesshin CD  (2005)

British Steel
CD $12.69
John D'earth, Members of Old School Freight Train, Agents of Good Roots, Modern Groove Syndicate, and Fair Weather Bums join Charlottesville based drummer James McLaughlin to create this unique instrumental jazz album. This project was mixed and mastered by Chapman Stick master Greg Howard in May, 2005 and released on Mountainside Records."The first disk I stumbled upon is a magical offering I feel privileged to be one of the first to hear. Sesshin is pure down-tempo ecstasy. Produced entirely by James McLaughlin at his Mountainside Studios, Sesshin is the best takes from endless jam sessions there. While Sesshin is smooth, and it is jazz, I hesitate to call it "smooth jazz," the overproduced, reverb-heavy, synthetic drumming garbage played late at night on most public radio stations. Sesshin is smooth in the classic, dark-speakeasy, cigarette-in-mouth, too-cool-for-school way. McLaughlin plays the drums, laying down the backbeat for some of the town's finest youngsters and veterans. Jesse Harper (guitar), Darrell Muller (bass), and Daniel Clarke (keyboards) are the backbone. Guests include JC Kuhl on sax and John D'earth on trumpet. Special kudos to Andy Thacker, who shows how to work a mandolin into the music the one and only way it should be done. Sesshin is a one-time offering showcasing the wide range of Charlottesville's musical talent. They have a gig scheduled for next month at the Gravity Lounge. I suggest that you do not miss the show."Damani Harrison, The Hook, 6.30.05McLaughlin's all star Sesshin spans musical genresBy Jedd FerrisDaily Progress correspondentFriday, July 8, 2005Since moving to town three years ago, local drummer, producer and engineer James McLaughlin has had a chance to play with some of Charlottesville's best musicians, so earlier this year, he decided to get them all under one roof to record a super jam session. Enlisting a who's who from a wide range of genres from traditional jazz to bluegrass to roots rock to funk, McLaughlin opened his Mountain Records studio to create "Sesshin," a new album that blends a creative twist of styles and offers a time capsule concoction of Central Virginia's home grown music scene. "I wanted to get the best possible people and give them a chance to do something different that they might not normally do," says McLaughlin "The idea musically was to combine the instrumental jazz background that I have with some of the more acoustic, folk flavors of the area in Charlottesville." The nine tracks for the album started with the foundation of McLaughlin on drums along with Old School Freight Train's Darrell Muller on bass and Jesse Harper making a rare showcase of electric guitar. Flavors were then added from different ends of the spectrum; the brass highlights of longstanding legend John D'earth on trumpet and J.C. Kuhl, formerly of Agents of Good Roots, on saxophone, the range of keyboard gadabout Daniel Clarke and the string touches of another Freight Train member, Ben Krakauer, on banjo, alongside award-winning picker Andy Thacker on mandolin and skilled fiddler Anne-Marie Calhoun. The entire cast of the "Sesshin" record will perform at a CD release party at the Gravity Lounge on Thursday night. "Everybody that is on the album is working with some other band, so this might be the only time I get this actual cast together," McLaughlin said. "Gigs in the future will most likely just be pieces of it, but with the name Sesshin ...
