Variant: Original 1976 Masters, Solar Flare LP

Released in 1976, Judas Priests sophomore album spread the English metal bands wings wide. While still inspired by the likes of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, they developed a heavy language of their own through the knife-gleaming, whammy-bar-quivering attack of The Ripper, the moto-chugging Tyrant and more. Rob Halford soared high above with his ever-strengthening, street-tough operatics. Resist it not and surrender to the sound of their Sad Wings of Destiny. This pressing on hand-poured, Solar Flare-colored vinyl produces unique color patterns for each platter, so every copy is a one–of–a–kind eye-catcher.
