│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bio ║ │
│║ Atkins began his musical career in 1964, singing ║ │
│║ in a succession of blues rock outfits before ║ │
│║ forming a band in September 1969, named Judas ║ │
│║ Priest (named after the Bob Dylan song "The ║ │
│║ Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest"). ║ │
│║ Featuring a musical direction unrelated to the ║ │
│║ future metal band, this band lasted until April ║ │
│║ 1970, developing a small following in Birmingham ║ │
│║ before splitting up over creative differences. ║ │
│║ By this time, bands such as Led Zeppelin and ║ │
│║ Black Sabbath were emerging, and Atkins was ║ │
│║ interested in pursuing a similar direction. ║ │
│║ Fellow Black Country musicians K.K. Downing, Ian ║ │
│║ Hill and John Ellis, who were in a band called ║ │
│║ Freight (AprilûOctober 1970) had similar musical ║ │
│║ interests, and teamed up with Atkins to form a ║ │
│║ new band. Atkins did not like the name Freight, ║ │
│║ so he suggested they be called Judas Priest, as ║ │
│║ he had rights to the name. After gaining a ║ │
│║ following in Birmingham, the Atkins-led Priest ║ │
│║ recorded a demo in 1971, which attracted the ║ │
│║ attention of Tony Iommi's management but failed ║ │
│║ to endear them with any of London's major record ║ │
│║ labels. ║ │
│║ With a wife and young daughter to support and no ║ │
│║ record deal in sight, Atkins was forced "to get ║ │
│║ a haircut and a 9-to-5 job" in May 1973.[1] He ║ │
│║ was replaced by Rob Halford, who found himself ║ │
│║ singing many songs that were originally written ║ │
│║ by Atkins. Consequently, the album Rocka Rolla ║ │
│║ gives a portrait of Atkins' original vision for ║ │
│║ the band. Atkins eventually formed another band, ║ │
│║ 'Lion' and went solo after it dissolved. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ About the album ║ │
│║ Victim of Changes is ex-Judas Priest singer Al ║ │
│║ Atkins's fourth release, named after a Judas ║ │
│║ Priest song of the same name originally featured ║ │
│║ on the Sad Wings of Destiny album. The album's ║ │
│║ sleeve contains three pages of historic photos ║ │
│║ and a biography outlining his days in Judas ║ │
│║ Priest. Former Judas Priest drummer Dave Holland ║ │
│║ plays on this release. ║ │
│║ The album was recorded during the summer of 1997 ║ │
│║ at Mad Hat Studios in Walsall, England. Mark ║ │
│║ Stuart was the engineer. ║ │
│║ "Mind Conception" and "Holy Is the Man" appeared ║ │
│║ on Judas Priest's 1971 demo. These songs were ║ │
│║ not featured on any Judas Priest releases. ║ │
│║ "Never Satisfied", "Winter", "Caviar and Meths" ║ │
│║ all appeared on Rocka Rolla; "Victim of Changes" ║ │
│║ appeared on Sad Wings of Destiny, with lead ║ │
│║ vocals by Atkins's replacement Rob Halford. ║ │
│║ The album cover bears a striking resemblance to ║ │
│║ Judas Priest's Sin After Sin cover. ║ │
