Judas Priest to release expanded version of Defenders of the Faith

Judas Priest have announced they’ll be releasing an expanded 3CD version of their album, Defenders of the Faith. The new version will be released via Sony Music Australia on 13 March 2015.

The new package includes the original ten track album remastered by producer Tom Allom, and a complete live recording from the Defenders tour, recorded at the Long Beach Arena in California on May 5^th, 1984.

The 21-track concert (split up over two discs) perfectly balances the then-new material from the group’s ninth studio offering overall, including such classics as ‘Metal Gods’, ‘Breaking the Law’, ‘Sinner’, ‘Electric Eye’, ‘The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)’, ‘Victim of Changes’ and ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming’.
