Judas Priest - Caviar And Meths

I here present to you 'Caviar And Meths', the complete version, that only appears on Al Atkins' 1998 solo album 'Victim of Changes'. The version is the complete hardrock/vocal version, that originally was to appear on Judas Priest's 1974 debut album 'Rocka Rolla', but only an instrumental segment of it appears on the final product, to close the album. This version by Al Aktins is played note for note, like the original unreleased versions was. To accompany the music, there are some old and rare pictures of pre-Halford/Tipton Judas Priest. Hopefully some day, the pre-Halford songs that lies in the Priest vault, can be reased.

Judas Priest was formed in 1969 by Al Atkins (vocals). Other original members included Bruno Stapenhill (bass), Earnest Chataway (guitar) and John Partridge (drums). This version of Judas Priest recorded two songs as a demo / potential single, titled 'Good Time Woman / (b-side) 'We'll Stay Together' which was never released. In 1970, this version of Judas Priest disbanned due to creative differences. At the same time, K.K Downing & Ian HIll had their own band titled Freight. Al Atkins joined their band and suggested that they should use the name of his old band, Judas Priest. Downing and Hill agreed. Drummers between 1970 and 1973 included Alan Moore and Chris Campbell. In 1973 Al Atkins had to leave the band not long before they got a record deal, as he had to get a "decent job" to support his baby daughter at the time. Around this time, a 2nd guitarist joined, Glenn Tipton. Rob Halford came in as the band's new vocalist, and in 1974 the band released their debut album 'Rocka Rolla'., and gradually turning more and more into a hardrock and later metal band.

Musicians on this recording, from Al Atkins 1998 solo album 'Victim Of Changes':

Al Atkins: Vocals
Dave Holland: Drums
Paul May: Guitar
Pete Emms: Drums

The entire album is recomended, as it contains several other Priest songs from the pre-Halford days, recorded note by note as they originally was, to give the best impression of how this period of Judas Priest's was musically.

Enjoy!
