[edit] The whole band

In 1987 Judas Priest experimented with famous pop producers Stock Aitken and Waterman, and recorded three tracks. Some fans were furious, as they believed Judas Priest wanted to release pop albums. The tracks were never released, and are believed to be in Judas Priest's possession.
