[@MichaelMaxwell747]

@@sgg6927 I was lucky enough to see them in 1979, one block from my house in Yakima, WA. A life changing event for me and many others. They were really loud in that community college gymnasium and even without knowing the songs we were all just blown away. They had just began the leather look and when Rob rolled the Harley out and they placed a microphone next to the exhaust it was criminally loud! During the solo for Sinner KK threw his flying V about twenty feet into the air with the cord attached. I wish I could revisit that evening every day. There is audio from an impromptu performance that they did at the Roxy in New York on that tour for Andy Warhol. That is probably the closest to being able to hear them like they were that night. They opened for UFO. It was supposed to be a triple bill with a band called Wireless opening. Wireless could not play , something to do with United Airlines being on strike so Judas Priest played even longer than they would have. UFO was also great with Paul Chapman on lead guitar but I was all wrung out after JP!

With great enthusiasm and little money, Judas Priest recorded his debut album during the last week of June and the first two weeks of July 1974, at the Olympic Studios in London, where they slept during the day in their van to get into the studio at night, since at that time it was cheaper. "Rocka Rolla" would see the light on September 6 under the Gull Records label. The legend began to be written...

[@thinkforyourself2109]

I'd have to agree. Early Priest albums are the best. As they became more commercial and glammy, they lost it. Their early songs were all great. They never get old.

[@pibroch]

So grateful they went for a quality recording studio - the results are sensational on my pro studio converter and monitor speakers. Amazed that this is their first album - never heard this until just now - gobsmacked at the power, finesse, and feel. Produced by Rodger Bain. Engineer Vic Smith.

[@arnoldziffel4565]

Sometimes listening to.a bands 1st album Gives you a insight on a shape of things to come. And plus its intresting to hear a band explore different avenues. Its very honest in its approach. So many times when a band finallly gets commerical success they go into autopilot after that and coast. They no longer challenge thenselves. I enjoy Rocka Rolla as much as I do Screaming for Vengence. Priest was a band from the Midlands. This is what you would expect from a band from that region. Very under rated release. It gets better over time

[@mikehill7587]

Sound like very intelligent person

[@jeffspaulding9834]

I totally agree. Aerosmith is another example of this (although they've managed to keep challenging themselves). Their first album doesn't really even sound like the same band that came out with Pump. I usually end up liking a band's early material better than their later material.
