British Steel [Video/DVD]

Judas Priest was one of the toughest and most bombastic British metal bands of the late '70s and early '80s, and most fans agree that their 1980 album British Steel stands as the group's masterpiece. This documentary, which examines the making of this heavy metal classic, has been transferred to DVD in 1.85:1 letterboxed format (it is also enhanced for playback on widescreen sets), and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The documentary (which runs a healthy 110 minutes) hasn't been gussied up with any bonus material, but the presence of the band's music in DVD-quality audio should be inducement enough for most fans to give this a spin.
