Sad Wings of Destiny — 1976

An early, ambitious landmark that helped define metal's template. Dramatic and influential. A cornerstone. The record that introduced Judas Priest to serious listeners.

On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
