Judas Priest: 10 Best Songs You've Probably Never Heard
10. Race With The Devil
Although this cover of The Gun's single was initially recorded in 1978, it didn't see the light of day until as late as 2001. Originally, 'Race With The Devil' was intended to feature on Judas Proest's fourth studio record, 'Stained Class', but was relegated to the back catalogue and left off the final track list.

In 2001 Priest's third studio record, 'Sin After Sin', was remastered and re-released with two bonus tracks, one of which being this tune. This undercard Judas Priest tune is a perfect song choice for the band to cover. Telling the tale of a man trying to outrun the devil, the narrative and pace of the song suit Judas Priest's image and style perfectly.
