Episode 84 is here! We finish our review of Judas Priest, Rocka Rolla! Frankie is back and he has some interesting observations on this album! Stay Tuned! Darkness!
Rocka Rolla is the debut studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 6 September 1974 by Gull Records. It was produced by Rodger Bain, who had made a name for himself as the producer of Black Sabbath’s first three albums. It is the only album to feature drummer John Hinch.
According to the band, the entire album was played live in the studio rather than having individual musicians record alone.
