Judas Priest – Turbo (LP, Album, Stereo, Pitman Pressing, 1986, Columbia OC 40158)

Why This Record Matters
Turbo marked Judas Priest's embrace of mid-1980s production and guitar synthesizer technology while retaining the band's trademark heavy metal foundation. Featuring fan favorites "Turbo Lover," "Locked In," "Out In The Cold," and "Reckless," the album remains one of the most recognizable releases from Priest's commercial peak. Its blend of arena-ready hooks and metallic riffing continues to attract both longtime fans and collectors of 1980s metal.
