“Hero Hero” 1981
A bit of a ‘cash-in’ by Gull Records on Judas Priest’s global success following 1980’s “British Steel” (released on CBS). Gull had already released a ‘Best Of’ in 1978, but at least this 2LP set featured remixed tracks.

has these records the red wax effect?
Hi, no these discs are standard black vinyl and do not glow red when held up to the light. I think Pye Records changed their manufacturing processes towards the end of the 1970s. It seems to be records from the early and mid 1970s that have this ‘secret’ red effect.

A wonderful artwork. The Spanish edition of this compilation is almost identical as regards to front (only changes the label “2 LP for the price of 1”). The back cover is different (black and white in the Spanish edition) and is not gatefold. The vinyls are involved in separate clear plastic bags. In Spain, the album was edited by “Discos Victoria”
