"Out in the Cold" comes from Turbo, Judas Priest's tenth studio album, which Columbia put out in April 1986: the record where the English metal band went chasing glam-metal gloss and plugged in synthesisers for the first time. It started out as part of a planned double album, Twin Turbos, one half for radio and the other for the headbangers; that plan was scrapped, the commercial songs became Turbo, and the lyrics came down to earth, trading sci-fi and fantasy for love and romance.
Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and Kenneth Downing wrote and arranged it together. Halford sings, Tipton and Downing both play guitar and both take solos, Ian Hill is on bass and Dave Holland on drums. Tom Allom produced, and he mixed it with engineer Bill Dooley and the two guitarists.
