Judas Priest are working on a 50th anniversary edition of “Sad Wings Of Destiny.” Exciter Records and its publishing affiliate Reach Music acquired the rights to the album and are partnering with the band for new remixed and remastered versions based on the original multitrack and master tapes.

Judas Priest commented:

“‘Sad Wings Of Destiny’ was a defining moment for us as a band. It’s where we really began to shape the sound and identity that would carry through everything we’ve done since. To see it recognized 50 years on — and to have it presented in new editions — is incredibly meaningful.”

Exciter Records president Michael Closter added:

“We’ve returned to the original master tapes for ‘Sad Wings Of Destiny’ — untouched for decades — and we’re excited and honored to bring these definitive editions to fans worldwide.”
