Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Personnel: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass guitar); Dave Holland , Scott Travis (drums). The mammoth 1993 two-disc collection METAL WORKS '73-'93 dug deeper than just the hits, but the '98 single disc THE BEST OF JUDAS PRIEST: LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT contains only Judas Priest's best-known head bangers. Few of these songs date from before BRITISH STEEL, but for fans of the Priest's latter arena-headlining days, this 16-track compilation will do quite nicely. Some of metal's all-time great anthems are featured here, such as "Living After Midnight," "Breaking the Law," "Electric Eye," "You've Got Another Thing Coming," "Turbo Lover," and a live version of "Headin' Out to the Highway."
Heavy metal had existed for several years before Judas Priest hit the scene in the mid 1970s, but the mighty Priest drove it all home--many still consider them to be the quintessential metal band. Dressed in studs and leather from head to toe, the band specialized in soaring, heavy-duty metal, with lyrics that alternated between the menacing and the party-hearty.
