Rediscovering Stained Class
In celebration of recently purchased Priest/Heaven and Hell tickets, I've been putting on some of the older JP records again. I wouldn't say I'd forgotten, but I was certainly reminded of Stained Class' complete awesomeness this week. Easily one of the best metal records of the 70s, and definitely one of the "foundation," records of the modern sound. Great songs, great delivery, spooky and atmospheric in places - might be my favorite overall JP record.

Beyond the Realms of Death... the best song they ever made IMO!

"Stained Class"in undoubtedly a jewel in the Priest crown. I recall when I bought the vinyl (along with "Sin After Sin"). I went to a store and there was both of them, I wanted to buy but the seller told me the items were for some other guy. It semmed the guy ask them to separate them but never give any money, I offer to pay both in cash right there.
Needles to say I went home with them 
'Exciter', 'Better By You, Better Than Me', 'Beyond The Realms Of Death', 'Saints in Hell', what more can you ask from an album?

In spite that from the 70īs I prefer "Sad wings of destiny" and "Killing machine" I think "Stained class" is amazing. "Exciter", "Beyond the realms of death" and "Better by you better than me" are overwhelming, some of the best tunes from Priest.
For me, in "Stained class" we can hear the best Halford performance along Metal God career (JP, Fight, Halford). Besides, guitar sound is brilliant.
Not my favourite Priest album but another masterpiece from JP

Certainly one of their finest hours.
Fates Warning did an awesome cover of Saints in Hell about 10 years ago.  |
