#vinylrecords #vinyl #records #vinyljunkie #JudasPriest Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance (1982) This album and a cup of coughee. I'm not sure which will get you moving most in the morning, but combining the two will wake you up quickly. Considered Judas Priest's 'breakthrough' album, it reached the #17 spot on Billboard and reached 2x platinum status in the US (2,000,00 copies sold). I saw the tour for this album, and it is responsible for the first noticeable hearing damage I suffered. The show was supposed to be held outside but inclement weather forced a last-minute change and the show was moved inside to a place not really designed for high-decibel music. I'd pushed my way through the crowd to get next to the stage to get photos when Priest came out. The makeshift 'stage' was only chest-high, and the speakers were on the lip of the stage---when they came out, I suddenly found myself pinned against the stage with my ears right in a set of speakers. It was so damn LOUD that it literally shook every bone in my body. Sonic assault is a real thing. My hearing has never been the same. But I wouldn't trade that memory for anything. Side one - 1. "The Hellion/Electric Eye" 2. "Riding on the Wind" 3. "Bloodstone" 4. "(Take These) Chains" 5. "Pain and Pleasure" Side two - 1. "Screaming for Vengeance" 2. "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" 3. "Fever" 4. "Devil's Child" Bloodstone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omz4pHuM5zU
