Judas Priest Prep Singles Box

June 8, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Judas Priest may be heading toward the finish line, at least as live performances go, with their current Epitaph World Tour (though sadly without founding guitarist K.K. Downing, who elected to retire a bit early), but they still have plenty of irons in the fire - including a neat catalogue set for hardcore collectors.

The band announced the impending release of Single Cuts: The Complete U.K. Singles Collection, a 20-disc set replicating every one of the band's British singles, right down to the picture sleeves.

Of particular interest to collectors is the inclusion of a large amount of live B-sides, many of which have never been available on CD (some made it onto Legacy's Setlist entry for the band). While many of the band's singles had album cuts on the flip sides, about 13 of the tracks on the box are live and as aggressive as ever. (There's also another interesting B-side in "The Judas Priest Audio File," a sort of mega-mix of Priest's best songs at the time of release.)

The collection certainly isn't complete; some U.S. singles had other live cuts and even a few dance mixes by the end of the '80s, many of which have yet to surface on CD. And some of the discs in the box follow the 12" single track lists, while others just stick to the basic 45 lineup. But it's still a pretty awesome set for the dedicated fan - and fans have seen sets with far less for a higher price tag than the $99 being charged for this set in the States.

Single Cuts can be ordered through Priest's official website. The full track breakdown is after the jump (note that some tracks were not described as live on the official site, although they were as such on the singles - we shall correct any errors we find out about). (A special thanks to super reader George for staying on top of this one!)

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Thanks Mike and you are welcome. But you are right that the set isn't complete. I was checking my Judas Priest, Priest Live & Rare CD and there are a couple of singles that are missed. One is the Green Manalishi Live Version with Breaking The Law and You've Got Another Thing Comin.' Another one is the Parental Guidance single which featured a live version of Private Property and Turbo Love (Hi Octane Mix.) Yet another pre-order and with all the classic hard rock reissues that have come out and that are on the way, I think I am going to go broke this year!
