Sleeve Condition/Media Condition
VG+/VG+

----------------------------------------------------------

• Release Date: April 7, 1986.
• Genre: Turbo marked a shift in Judas Priest's sound, incorporating synthesizers and moving towards a more commercial glam metal style. This change was a departure from their traditional heavy metal sound and drew mixed reactions from fans.
• Controversial Reception: The album sparked debate among fans, with some embracing the new sound and others preferring their earlier heavy metal work. Guitar synths and the album's production, along with the lyrical themes of love, lust, and partying, were noted points of difference. The album didn't achieve the crossover pop success the band might have desired.
• Key Tracks: Despite the debate, Turbo features several well-known tracks, including "Turbo Lover," "Locked In," and "Parental Guidance."
• Commercial Success: Turbo reached No. 33 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 17 on the Billboard 200, becoming their highest-charting album until 2005's Angel of Retribution. It was certified gold in June 1986 and platinum in July 1989.
• 30th Anniversary Edition: In 2017, a 30th-anniversary reissue called Turbo 30 was released, featuring a live performance from the 1986 Fuel For Life tour.
