01. Whiskey Woman  [Time 5:41]

Now here's a rarity for you. A demo recording of Whiskey Woman - which would later evolve into Victim of Changes - from 1973. This demo was recorded not long after Rob (and drummer John Hinch) joined the band, and is so far the only studio recording from the pre-Rocka Rolla era to surface. This gem comes from a reel-to-reel tape owned by the band's former agent Norman Hood who posted this song on Facebook. The quality isn't that good with the sound being very bass-heavy and muffled, but for a low-budget demo tape that has spent 40+ years in a closet it's more than adequate and it's easy to distinguish the parts that after a couple of years would transform into one of Priest's most famous songs.
