Obviously, JP did the right thing then, and did not release that. Everyone has more than their share of bad ideas throughout a life time. No biggie. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Sunday, November 08, 2009 4:02:01 AM)

I did some further research and by golly its true! LOL! Yes Judas Priest recorded 3 tracks with the producers "Stock,Aitken and Waterman" (S.A.W.) and the demo was called "The S.A.W.demo". The 3 tracks are in Judas Priest's possession and only the band members and the producers have ever heard it!! lol! They did a Diana Ross cover song and the other 2 tracks were the bands material but it was in the vien of something that the fans would freak out over so the band changed thier minds and decided not to release it to the public! LOL! Thats what happens when you turn your producer over to pop music producers in S.A.W.!! lol!

LOL hellrider!!! Well,don't worry that was 21 years ago and I doubt they would have any plans on rehashing this idea beings its true in the first place so I didn't post this to claim that this is the direction for the next album,but I was just having a laugh at what I saw here so don't take this the wrong way hellrider,but yeah what you said is exactly what I was thinking when I stumbled across this lol!! Could you imagine ...an entire album of material that would cater to Diana Ross fans? lol!!! I sure hope this wasn't true eh? lol!!!

I found this information on "Encyclopaedia Metallum" a site that lists almost every band's disography,I don't know if this is actually "true" so I'm not sold on this but it really makes me wonder....if they would of released something like this it would of been very disappointing.....a "Diana Ross cover song"???? LOL!!!!! We have the band members to thank for NOT releasing any of this if this is indeed true,but it really doesn't suprise me if they attempted something like this though! lol!!
The demo was recorded with pop producers Stock, Aitken, and Waterman (who
produced a string of English hits in the 1980s) shortly after Ram It Down
was completed. The recordings were done as a one-off and Judas Priest never had
plans to work with Stock, Aitken, and Waterman for an album or other sort of
Judas Priest release (although Pete Waterman claimed that the band were
interested in doing a full album in this style, contradicting the statements
given by the band members). At the time, however, Tipton and Downing mentioned
in interviews that these songs (the two originals were written by Stock, Aitken,
and Waterman) could be used for a film soundtrack if the band were asked.
Halford suggested that the tracks would be released someday, but ultimately the
band decided against this, and said they realized doing so would probably cause
most fans to turn on the band.
