From Rocka Rolla (1974). Rocka Rolla is the debut studio album by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released on 6 September 1974 by Gull Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Flying V through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Judas Priest's other songs from Rocka Rolla, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
