Judas Priest’s landmark 1976 album Sad Wings Of Destiny celebrates its 50th anniversary with a new Remixed & Remastered edition. Produced by longtime Judas Priest producer Tom Allom, the album has been newly remixed from the original 1976 analogue multi-track master tapes, bringing fresh clarity, depth and separation to one of heavy metal’s most influential recordings.
The project was meticulously restored at British Grove Studios in London, with the original multi-track reels transferred and preserved for the new mixes. This edition restores the band’s original running order, beginning with “Prelude”, and features the bonus track “Diamonds & Rust”.
Continuing the 50th anniversary celebrations, the release offers a new way to experience Sad Wings Of Destiny while remaining faithful to Judas Priest’s original vision.
The CD edition comes in a six-panel digipak. The double LP has been mastered at half-speed for a premium 45 RPM presentation and pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.
Released on 27 November 2026 via Exciter Records.
