Don't get me wrong...I am a HUGE Judas Priest fan. The 2 stars are really a rating for the record company, who have bastardized this fine library of work from the get-go. The 3 "bonus" tracks on this album were NOT "recorded during the Fuel For Life tour"; Screaming For Vengeance was recorded from Memphis in 1982 and the other two were recorded during the Defenders Of The Faith Tour in 1984 from Long Beach, CA. How do I know? I have (STILL) both of these concerts on cassette tape when they were originally broadcast on radio and I know these recordings by heart. Does the record label think we all are stupid fans who will part with their money just because it says "remastered"? I know I feel stupid because I did...and I am STILL waiting for Sony to fix the Defenders Of The Faith remaster screw-up of reversing the channels, like they promised me they would. I bet Michael Jackson's back catalog didn't have these problems.
