British Steel (2001 GB Columbia Remastered album series)

~ Release by Judas Priest (see all versions of this release, 31 available)

Annotation

the nr 10 track; Red, White & Blue is very confusing, it particularly says on the cover 'The studio bonus track RED, WHITE & BLUE was written during the earlier years of our career and recorded at Compass Point Studios, Nassau, July 1985'

despite this, the latter part of it seems to have a crowd of live people singing in on the chorus, and alot of cheering at the end. the beginning seems to be totally studio though.. very odd indeed
