Hot on the heels of Sin After Sin, Judas Priest delivered another milestone in metal with 1978’s Stained Class—a record that’s now rightly hailed as one of the most essential in the genre. At a time when disco and punk were making waves, Judas Priest doubled down on speed, precision, and aggression, shaping the blueprint for modern heavy metal.

Remastered by Jon Astley and pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl, this 2017 reissue brings renewed clarity and bite to landmark tracks like the thrash-prototype “Exciter,” the emotionally crushing “Beyond the Realms of Death,” and the eerie, spine-chilling “Better By You, Better Than Me.” Few records in the band’s catalog balance melody and menace quite like this one.

With Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing trading razor-sharp leads and Rob Halford soaring at his most theatrical and chilling, Judas Priest was already peaking—and the world was finally starting to listen.
