Metal Priestess is the 1981 EP by punk-metal band The Plasmatics, fronted by Wendy O. Williams. Dan Hartman, who produced acts such as 38 Special and James Brown, among others, had been working on a session in LA when he picked up a copy of Beyond the Valley of 1984 and couldn't stop playing it. It was "ground breaking," he said. "I knew I wanted to meet these people and do something with them." Dan came down to the Tribeca loft where he met Wendy O. Williams and Rod Swenson and a month later he and Rod Swenson were working on the production of the Metal Priestess EP. The creation of the EP is a result of the need to release something due to their increasing popularity, with an album being premature, partly because Capitol Records was now making overtures for the next one. Metal Priestess was recorded at Dan's private studio off his schoolhouse turned home and studio in Connecticut and released early in the fall of 1981.

Masterpiece Album!!
Always loved this one. Hard as F. The guitar tone is SO HUGE sounding and Wendy slams it like usual. Back to back goodness on this one with non stop "no filler tunes" goodness that defines "full speed ahead" in all its glory.

Great no frills vinyl, shipping is the issue
So the album plays great but shipping on most vinyls is my issue. So when I first started getting vinyls from Amazon they were always shipped in a box in a box. The vinyl didn’t move. Now the last 3 albums I’ve gotten all are just in a box. In this case it was in a box with a pound of sugar unprotected. So see the issue… I get little things happen to the case but why only some are shipped with and some are not inside a box in a box I just don’t get.

Plasmatics -metal priestess 12"
These Plasmatics reissues are very bare bones, sound fine though.
