Judas Priest’s namesake razor-blade logo is recognized the world over. So, too, is the band’s leather-and-studs look, the roughness and rebelliousness seamlessly meshing with the group’s no-nonsense music. Both trademarks arrived with 1978’s Stained Class, a benchmark not only for the British quintet but for the international hard-rock community. Boasting cleaner, crisper, and more refined production than its previous efforts, the record became an archetype of the style that ultimately became speed metal.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelity’s world-renowned mastering system this Silver Series numbered-edition LP opens up the sound and spectacle contained within Stained Class like never before. More dynamic than the 2001 CD remasters and more transparent, extended, and immediate than the original vinyl pressings, the reissue brings the metal gods to life. Rob Halford’s piercing falsetto reaches untold heights, and the crunch-and-burn of the dual-guitar interplay boasts realistic weight, balance, and tension.
