Point of Entry is a heavy metal and hard rock album from the British band Judas Priest. It was released on February 26, 1981 .
In 1980 Judas Priest garnered some airplay with "Breaking the Law" and "Living After Midnight" from their album British Steel. As a result the band pursued a more radio friendly direction on Point of Entry. The more blatant commercial direction alienated some longtime listeners.
Three singles were released from the album: "Heading Out to the Highway", "Don't Go" and "Hot Rockin' ". They performed "Heading Out to the Highway" up until their "Priest...Live!" album, and "Hot Rockin' " is still performed today; two of which had accompanying music videos. On Priest's "re-united" tour in 2005, they also played Solar Angels on rare ocassions. On the Point Of Entry tour, Solar Angels was the opening song on every show.
The album was remastered in 2001, with two bonus tracks added, a live version of "Desert Plains" and a track from the Ram It Down sessions.
The US and European album covers differed, this being repeated with the remaster.
