the big distros have it here too but for a shitload of money. just pre-ordered 2CD version, will see if regular vinyl will show up one day.. I don't have anything against CDs in general, it's more the inconsistency within the collection that annoys me.. I have all Priest albums on vinyl except Angel of Retribution, but with that one already breaking ranks - what the heck.

My sentiments exactly. I want to have the discog of my fave bands in ONE (1) place, not scattered all over the room
I'm ready to pay up for that vinyl version, given some Swedish distros/stores have been able to preorder some copies, but in general I think JP's "anti-vinyl" stance of late is their greatest blunder since "Johnny B Good"

Hey Johhny B. Goode still kind of rocks, Man what a solo.

I really like their version of Johnny B. Goode. I think it's a hell of a lot better than anything on Angel of Retribution (except for Judas Rising).

It could be worse...
There was always Turbo...

NO! Triple-wrong! "Turbo" was great - barely a weak song on the album, JBG was and abomination and "Angel of Retribution" was a worthy comeback that has grown on me a lot recently. I'll WELCOME a vinyl bootleg of AoR if that's what it takes.

I'll clarify that "barely": Parental Guidance and Rock You All Around The World the rest is pretty good, Especially the kick arse solos.

Reckless is one of the best 80s Priest tunes, if only they had allowed it to become the Top Gun theme!... thats the track right?

That's the only decent song on that album...

Me and my brother saw Priest last night, fantastic show... Halford was in MUCH better form that I was expecting and used a lot of high range, the set list was very similar to what nabel posted but I'll post again out of order...
Sinner
Dissident Aggressor
Hell Bent for Leather
The Green Manalishi
Metal Gods
Breaking the Law
The Hellion/Electric Eye
You've Got Another Thing Comin'
Devil's Child
Rock Hard Ride Free
Eat Me Alive
Painkiller
Hell Patrol
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Angel
Dawn of Creation/Prophecy
plus one other song off Nostradamus, overall amazing gig one of the best I've ever seen for sure.
Because I was right up the front (well three people or so away) and the tallest there I managed to make myself as tall as possible and point at Glenn and make such a facial expression to get him to let out a chuckle, smile and point back. However ridiculous it sounds here it was an amazing moment haha.

Next time I'm off, I'll post all the 60 or so pictures I have of the last time I saw Priest about a month back.
