In May 1988, Ram It Down was released, featuring several reworked songs left over from Turbo , in addition to new songs. The band recorded three tracks with pop producers Stock-Aitken-Waterman : two originals, “Runaround” and “I Will Return”, and a cover of the Stylistics’ hit ” You Are Everything “. Producer Matt Aitken said of the sessions, “I think it was ill-conceived, it was unlikely it was going to work. But we went into it with the spirit of optimism, and we did the best with them, within the parameters within which we would be prepared to work. We weren’t going to use live drum kits and stuff, and that probably made it a no go from the start. I have no idea why we were working with Judas Priest really, but I think we made a good fist of a heavy metal song. I think it sounded alright.” The tracks were ultimately not included on this album due to a management decision.
