Оригинальное издание 1979 года вышло под названием "Unleashed In The East". Здесь представлено японское издание "Priest In The East", полностью повторяющее оригинальное, но с добавлением четырёх bonus tracks.
В США альбом добрался до 70 места, в Великобритании до 10 места. По версии DDD альбом занимает 96 место в списке 100 величайших концертных альбомов рок-групп.
Альбом был записан 10 февраля 1979 года в Токио в концертном зале Tokyo Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan и 15 февраля 1979 года в концертном зале отеля Nakano Sun Plaza. Выступления группы в Японии состоялись в ходе мирового турне группы Hell Bent for Leather Tour, которое прошло после выпуска альбома Killing Machine (в американском релизе Hell Bent for Leather). Альбом на тот момент стал наиболее продаваемым альбомом группы, попав в US Top 100 и UK Top 10.
Несмотря на то, что альбом действительно записывался вживую на концертах, альбом иногда называют Unleashed in the Studio (рус. Спущенные сворой в студию). Это произошло потому, что запись подверглась довольно-таки серьёзной доработке в студии, а вокал Роба Хэлфорда был перезаписан, по словам певца потому, что запись голоса с концерта была полностью испорчена.

Unleashed in the East is the first live album by the English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in September 1979 on Columbia Records. It was recorded live over two nights in Tokyo during their Hell Bent for Leather Tour in February 1979. Upon release Unleashed became the band's best-selling album up to that point, reaching the US Top 100 and the UK Top Ten, eventually the album became one of the five Judas Priest albums to gain a RIAA platinum certification. It is the first Priest album to be produced by Tom Allom who would remain at the helm for the next decade for the band, and the last release to feature drummer Les Binks.
To what extent the album was really live remains a matter of contention, with the album sometimes being called Unleashed in the Studio. Years later, after he had left Priest, Rob Halford noted in various interviews that the music was indeed live, but that his vocals had been ruined in the original recording and were later dubbed in a concert-like studio setting.
The 2001 CD reissue featured four "bonus tracks", "Rock Forever," "Delivering the Goods," "Hell Bent for Leather" and "Starbreaker", which had been issued on the 7-inch bonus disc that came with the original 1979 Japanese vinyl release. 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.
