Review - :
This is one of the many {^Best of Judas Priest} collections out there; this one issued by Japan's {@JVC} imprint covers only the earliest period in the band's history, with its first three albums represented: {^Rocka Rolla}, {^Sad Wings of Destiny}, and {^Sin After Sin}. It is essentially a reissue of the {@Gull Records} best-of issued in the late '70s, but expands on it by almost half, digging deeper into the three albums it represents. That doesn't necessarily make it a better listen -- since the material on all but the last of that triplet was somewhat uneven -- but it does offer more well-rounded portraits of them. If you have them, there is no reason for this. If you don't, skip the debut album and start with {^Sad Wings of Destiny}; take in that first one after you've made it through 1978's {^Stained Class} and 1979's {^Hell Bent for Leather}. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
