<p>Dang. That's a steal, but you should count your blessings. I think they sent it to you because you only ordered one copy.</p>
<p>My son came across the same discrepancy while ordering through Amazon (I think it was a Video Game, though). He did order two copies and Amazon cancelled his order, telling him straight that it was a mistake price.

Perhaps they would have honored one order, but because he was greedy, he got nothing. Don't beat yourself up. You did good. You got like what? 17 releases for the price of one?

<p>Priest was completely off of my radar growing up. Not sure if I can quantify exactly why, but like Black Sabbath, they seemed to be a bit evil to me. And I thought Rob Halford's vocals were always high pitched screaming.</p>
<p>Well, I was wrong on both accounts. In the last couple of years I have had a change of heart. Don't get me wrong here, they haven't replaced Kiss as my band, but I certainly wish now that I had spent more time listening to the band back then. </p>

<p>As most of you know (I'll briefly repeat for the benefit of Mr. Chapleen), on March 5, 2014 I purchased this:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1495881698?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1495881698?profile=original" width="499" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p>...for $12.95. Somehow, I just happened to check at the moment Amazon had it priced wrong. I was surprised I got it and then I was kicking myself for not ordering at least two, because the price changed quickly after I ordered it.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have much more appreciation for Priest now. And I like all of these songs here. Every single one of them. I like the softer side of the band, so excellent picks Scott.</p>
<p>Now, I'm definitely looking forward to the first of your "harder side" posts.</p>

<p>Great idea for the theme and Judas Priest is definitely a band who never made it to one of my many Ballads mix-tapes.</p>
<p>Non of these albums are in my collection (sort of) so it's a pretty untainted listen for me. I started the playlist with track #4. I'm not a fan of the Redeemer so had to get that out of the way.</p>

<p>I don't have Rocka Rolla but my first exposure to Judas Priest was their 1977 Gull release Best Of... that sampled songs from their first two albums. Run Of the Mill is not on that LP, not surprisingly since Dying To Meet You and Never Satisfied were a better representation of the release.</p>
<p>Last Rose Of Summer suffers from the same problem the previous song has. It's too long.</p>
<p>Case in point is Night Comes Down. It wouldn't make my Ballads tapes (even if I had this album) but it is a song that has everything it needs in less than 4 minutes.</p>
<p>This is an interesting concept and I hope you'll do some SHT for the other one as well ("Harder Side Of...") which is more intriguing to me.</p>

A track from Painkiller made my short list, but I like the title of the last song as it seemed more appropriate. Maybe it's a bit of a premonition as this playlist may be the beginning of my end...

<p>Happily forgot this existed as a "thing".</p>
<p>Of course you got everything wrong from the title to the song selection, but that is to be expected since you haven't done this for awhile. However, you never really got things right before so forget that previous sentence. </p>
<p>Sears wants to talk to you about the title.</p>
<p>Where's "Painkiller"?</p>
<p>Know what? All these songs sound the same. Really.</p>
