Following the commercial success of their previous album ''[[British Steel (album)|British Steel]]'' (1980), Priest pursued a more radio-friendly direction on ''Point of Entry''. Following the conclusion of the [[British Steel Tour]], the band began work on their next project. By this time, the band possessed sufficient funds to fly all their equipment to the state-of-the-art Ibiza Studios in Spain. This gave ''Point of Entry'' a louder, stronger, more "live" sound than previous Judas Priest albums.
