Release the Stock, Aitken and Waterman / Judas Priest Sessions!
The Issue
We are calling for the following recordings to be made publicly available from the S/A/W sessions:
- You Are Everything (The Stylistics cover)
- Runaround
- I Will Return
Furthermore, there exist other unreleased tracks from around the same era, including:
- Fighting For Your Love
- Under The Gun
- My Design
For decades, fans around the world have been captivated by the powerful music of Judas Priest, a band that has become a cornerstone of heavy metal. Among the numerous sessions in their illustrious career, there exists a particular set of recordings that have piqued the curiosity of fans and music historians alike – the Stock, Aitken and Waterman sessions. These recordings represent a unique collaboration between the world-famous heavy metal band and the legendary pop production trio, Stock, Aitken, and Waterman, known for crafting a plethora of 1980s pop hits.
As a lifelong Judas Priest fan, these sessions have held a mythical status among the community. The very idea of two distinct musical worlds colliding is fascinating and holds potential insights into the band's creative process. Hearing these sessions would not only add depth to our understanding of Judas Priest’s music but also preserve a piece of musical history that currently remains unheard and inaccessible to fans.
It's important to highlight that renowned music historian Paul Padley has confirmed the existence of these sessions. In interviews, former band members have occasionally hinted at this unique collaboration, piquing the interest of metal enthusiasts and pop culture historians. Releasing these sessions would illuminate this intriguing chapter of musical artistry that has remained shrouded in mystery for far too long.
We are urging the involved rights holders, including the representatives of Judas Priest, Stock, Aitken, and Waterman, to consider the value of making these extraordinary recordings available. By officially releasing these sessions, not only would they cater to Judas Priest’s extensive and dedicated fanbase, but they would also contribute to music history, showcasing a period when genre boundaries were fearlessly crossed.
Music has the power to unite and inspire people; it tells the story of its time. These sessions are a missing piece to both the Judas Priest story and the broader narrative of 1980s music. By signing this petition, you can help us shed light on these unreleased recordings and ensure they are shared with the world. Let us work together to unlock and celebrate this hidden treasure of musical innovation.
