Turn Me Loose
Turn Me Loose is an EP by Judas Priest, released in 1981 on CBS, with a US release the same year. It arrived in the middle of a busy stretch for the band, falling after British Steel in 1980 and alongside Point of Entry, which was also issued in 1981.
For anyone following the band's story through the early eighties, it is a small but telling stop between two of their most talked-about studio records. Screaming for Vengeance followed in 1982, so this release sits right at the point where the group was heading into one of its most productive periods. It is one for completists who like to fill in the gaps around the main albums.
