Point of Entry (Album)

Overview
Point of Entry is the seventh studio album by British heavy metal band Judas Priest.

Writing
For previous albums, most, if not all, the material was written before the band entered the studio, but on this album, nearly all the material was spontaneously written and performed in Ibiza.

Recording
Point of Entry was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, mixed at Startling Studios, England, by producer Tom Allom and was mastered at Trident Studios. When the band reached the studio, it wasn't quite ready, and they have to move the desk into the control room, and at one point the studio was raided by the police, who confiscated the master tapes, because the owner of the studio owed the mayor money.

Promotion
"Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin'" were released as singles, in February and April of 1981 respectively, and along with "Heading Out to the Highway" received music videos.
