This is one of Gull records, Transluxe, and or Koch records attempts to cash in on the Judas Priest name. This album, Genocide and Hero, Hero are substandard, unauthorized reissues of the old JP catalog. The sound quality sucks and, despite what the back cover says, there are no interviews with Rob, KK, Glenn or Ian. There is an interview with Jon Hinch. Jon who? He was a drummer for Priest for a month or two and according to the JP website this interview is complete garbage and utter nonsense. There is nothing on this release that isn't on the actual albums. Be careful what you buy!! If it says Gull records, Transluxe, Koch records or Koch international, YOU ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!! Support Judas Priest, the best heavy metal band of all time, and don't waste your money on this crap. Buy the real thing, which is still available through Cdnow/Amazon. Watch for the label!!!!!!!

This is really a compilation of songs from Judas Priest's first two records - 'Rocka Rolla' (1974) and 'Sad Wings of Destiny' (1976) - released pre-major label debut. Whether it is really the best of these offerings is debatable. However, what is notable is the inclusion of "Diamonds and Rust", which did not appear on these two records and is a better studio version than what would later appear on 'Sin After Sin' (1977).

The interviews included at the end are interesting, even though they have been disavowed as rubbish by the current incarnation of Judas Priest.

A good price and it arrived in a timely manner. Haven't listened to it yet as it is a Christmas gift. Looked new

Judas Priest are one of the best metal bands there are and this C.D. Show it
