British metal legends Judas Priest recently announced the reissue of their tenth studio album, Turbo. The album has been remastered and will be released via Sony Music on February 3rd, 2017 on three-CD (the original album and 2 bonus discs) as well as 1LP 150g vinyl.
In the video below, vocalist Rob Halford and guitarist Glenn Tipton discuss Turbo and the importance of the record in the band's legacy:
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 two and three 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.
The band add: “The ’80’s 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.”
