Three of these were from their then-current album Killing Machine (released in the US as Hell Bent for Leather), which was not well represented on the original release. “Delivering the Goods“ and “Starbreaker“ had been exclusive to the Japanese release, although the former would be one of the B-side tracks to the “Living After Midnight“ 12-inch, released in March 1980. These four tracks were previously available on the Japanese pressing of the album (titled Priest in the East and having the same track-list as the remaster), and were recorded at the same time as the original nine tracks. Additionally, two more songs were recorded from the same concerts but were only available as B-sides on various singles: “Evil Fantasies“ was on the “Living After Midnight“ 12-inch, along with “Delivering the Goods.“ This live version of “Evil Fantasies“ had an official CD release on Single Cuts (2011), albeit with a 6-second edit to the start, which trims Halford’s chat slightly. “Beyond the Realms of Death“ was pressed with “Rock Forever“ and “Hell Bent for Leather“ on a special 3 track live EP that came with initial UK pressings of “Unleashed in the East“. There is also a 1979 UK cassette version with 12 songs: “Rock Forever“, “Hell Bent for Leather“ and “Beyond the Realms of Death“ in addition to the original 9 tracks. To date, this version of ’Beyond the Realms of Death’ has not been released on CD. All the extra songs are fully produced, and are of the same quality as the original nine tracks. Certain bootlegs have turned up with all fifteen tracks in the original setlist order, to better reflect the actual concerts of the 1979 tour. (For the record, all the Unleashed in the East recordings were taken from shows on 10 February 1979 at Kosei Nenkin Kaikan Tokyo, and 15 February 1979 at Nakano Sunplaza Tokyo. Additionally, there were two shows on 10 February: an afternoon and an evening show. The two 10 February shows can be found as a bootleg under the title “Tyranny Unleashed in the East.“) Two more songs, “White Heat, Red Hot“ and “Take on the World“ were performed but never officially recorded. ___________________________________________________________ Sources: A: (2,3,4,5,6,8,9,11,12,13,15) - Priest In The East (Live In Japan) 1979 Original Japanese LP 7“ (25·3P-145~6) B: (7,16) - Rock Forever 1981 Original Holland 12“ (CBS ) C: (9,12) - Living After Midnight 1980 Original UK 12“ (S CBS 12 8379) D: (1,10,17) - Audience bootleg, afternoon show -4PM- Saturday, February 10, 1979 at Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, Tokyo, Japan.
