Happy Friday! Not a lot for you this week, but for me two I’m really excited about. First is Iconic with the sophomore release ‘II’. This has some big hitters like Nathan James on vocals (Inglorious), Michael Sweet on guitar (Stryper) and the from Whitesnake we get Joel Hoekstra on guitar, Marco Mendoze on bass and Tommy Aldrige on drums. What a line up. Then it is the new Collective Soul album ‘Touch & Go’ which is a throwback to classic New Wave music like The Cars. This came out on Record Store Day and I didn’t get a copy so glad it is finally out in all formats. Also, Ariana Grande has a new album which a lot of people will be excited about.

Judas Priest – ‘Sin After Sin’ (1977) – Album Review (The Complete Albums Collection Series)

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic43 Comments

After the band’s second album, “Sad Wings of Destiny”, they were growing tired of their relationship with their current label Gull. They were discouraged at the cheapness of the label and the lack of funds they were receiving. And who can blame them. The band jumped ship and wound up with the first major label contract with CBS. All was right with the world.

We still had the same bandmates of Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing and Ian Hill. The only difference was the drummer, yet again! This seems to be a huge trend with the band. They can’t keep a drummer. It is Spinal Tap in reality. During the recording of the album, the band was unhappy with current drummer, Alan Moore, so they fired him. The band picked up session drummer Simon Phillips to finish recording the album. Now, Simon didn’t want to be a full fledge member so they had to replace him as they needed a drummer for the tour. They wound up with Les Binks to handle those duties. We will see if Les winds up recording the next album.

Since the band was with a bigger label, they actually got a big name for producer. Well, he maybe wasn’t a big name as a producer, but he was a big name bass player for a little band called Deep Purple. They hired the services of Roger Glover to help produce along with Judas Priest. The band was all set. In January 1977, they went in to the studio and after one session with Glover, they fired him. Oh my!! The band finished recording the album on their own, well….not exactly. They struggled a lot so Glover was asked back to finish the album. The album was released on April 8, 1977 and would see the album go Gold. It was the first of eleven straight albums to go Gold for the band! Judas Priest were on their way to stardom.
