I’ve often maintained that 1976 Priest masterpiece Sad Wings Of Destiny represents the first great heavy metal moment since the genre’s inception back in 1970 with Sabbath, Purple and Uriah Heep. This is the extensive story of that groundbreaking record’s birthing, from the inside out, including discussion of its production, its context, its album cover, all of its tracks. Note: this short eBook is a substantially expanded and overhauled version of a chapter from Popoff’s Judas Priest: Heavy Metal Painkillers. It is being offered due to the fact that the full-length biog is long out-of-print and also not available in eBook format.
