IRON MAIDEN

Remastered re-release of the third full-length album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band
This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden and their last with drummer Clive Burr.
Routinely ranked among the greatest Heavy Metal albums of all time, "The Number Of The Beast" is the birth of Iron Maiden as we know it, a relentless Metal machine lifted to soaring new heights by the arrival of erstwhile Samson frontman Bruce Dickinson. Dickinson's operatic performance here made him an instant Metal icon, challenging even Rob Halford for bragging rights, and helped launch the band into the stratosphere.
The album's intensity never lets up, the musical technique is peerless for its time, and there isn't a truly unmemorable song in the bunch. Blessed with a singer who could drive home a melody in grandiose fashion, Steve Harris' writing gets more ambitious, largely abandoning the street violence of old in favor of fittingly epic themes drawn from history, science fiction, and horror. The exceptions are "22 Acacia Avenue", a sequel to "Charlotte the Harlot" that sounds written for Di'Anno's range, and the street-crime tale "Gangland", which Harris didn't write; though the Punk influences largely left with Di'Anno, these two definitely recall the Maiden of old. As for the new, two of the band's (and, for that matter, Heavy Metal's) all-time signature songs are here. The anthemic "Run to the Hills" dramatized the conquest of the Native Americans and became the band's first Top Ten U.K. single. It features Maiden's trademark galloping rhythm, which in this case serves to underscore the images of warriors on horseback. Meanwhile, the title track's odd-meter time signature keeps the listener just slightly off balance and unsettled, leading into the most blood-curdling Dickinson scream on record; the lyrics, based on nothing more than Harris' nightmare after watching a horror movie, naturally provoked hysterical accusations of Satan worship (which, in turn, naturally provoked sales). "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is perhaps the most celebrated of the band's extended epics; it's the tale of a prisoner about to be hanged, featuring some of Harris' most philosophical lyrics.
Though some moments on "The Number Of The Beast" are clearly stronger than others, the album as a whole represented a high-water mark for Heavy Metal, striking a balance between accessible melodicism and challenging technique and intensity. Everything fell into place for Iron Maiden here at exactly the right time, and the result certainly ranks among the top five most essential Heavy Metal albums ever recorded! A cornerstone of the genre!!
"The Number Of The Beast" become band’s first album to reach No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, and be certified platinum in the US. It’s one of two Iron Maiden albums listed in “1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die” book.
CD includes special multimedia part with videos, exclusive band biographies, photo galleries, internet links and much more…

Second re-release of the eleventh full-length studio album by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It was the second and final Iron Maiden album recorded with vocalist Blaze Bayley.
In 1993, Iron Maiden and their popular vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, parted ways. Not going to be stopped by the loss of their 11-year singer, the band began the search for their new front man. They auditioned hundreds of vocalists including Doogie White, who at the time was in Rainbow, and even James LaBrie, of Dream Theater fame. Finally, in 1994, Iron Maiden decided that Wolfsbane singer, Blaze Bailey, would be their next vocalist. After Blaze was brought on board, the band began writing new material for their next album, and in 1995 was released "The X Factor". The album was met with a mixed reaction from fans, but the band soldiered on and entered the studio in 1998 to record their eleventh album, "Virtual XI".
"Virtual XI" met the same fate as "The X Factor". It was even more unpopular among fans than its predecessor, and it suffered in sales, and is to this very day, the only Maiden album to not hit the 1 million marks. As of April 2009, "Virtual XI" had sold 84987 copies in the United States and more than 1050000 worldwide according to Billboard, making the album the poorest selling of the band's career.
The album is slightly unusual in the Iron Maiden catalogue for its extensive keyboard use. For this album, some keyboard parts were performed by band founder/bassist Steve Harris whereas on previous albums all the keyboard parts were handled by session musician Michael Kenney. The album also had a reduced song-writing input from Janick Gers compared to the previous Iron Maiden albums since he joined the band in 1990.
"Virtual XI" was the end of another era for Iron Maiden. Following the Virtual XI World Tour, Blaze Bailey left Iron Maiden and two former members, Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith returned. Overall, "Virtual XI" is a very long album to listen to, despite being only 53 minutes long. The album is very repetitive, and listening to it takes a lot of patience. However, it has a few gems, such as "Futureal", "The Clansman", and "Como Estais Amigos". With a little more variety, it could have been something special!

First re-release of the fourteenth single by the legendary British Heavy Metal band.
It's the first single for the band's sixth full-length studio album, "Somewhere In Time" (1986). It was the first single solely written by guitarist Adrian Smith, who also sings backing vocals. Wasted Years" is the only song on the album that features no synthesizers.
The song deals with subject of homesickness and alienation, as well as the negative aspects of the band's nearly yearlong previous tour and personal problems that Smith and other band members were going through in that period. At the same time the chorus suggests the idea that one should move beyond past troubles and look forward. The original working title was "Golden Years", as can be heard on numerous "Somewhere On Tour" bootlegs. The song is composed in the key of E minor. Adrian Smith plays the guitar solo. The guitar line here is probably one of the most memorable in the realm of Metal, and is sort of a rite of passage for any lead guitar player who wishes to tear it up with a band in the Metal genre. The chorus is very easy to sing along to and is a regular favorite at live performances.
The b-side "Reach Out" was sung by Adrian Smith, with regular lead singer Bruce Dickinson providing backing vocals. This song was previously performed live by Nicko McBrain and Smith's side project The Entire Population Of Hackney. This track is another rare treat. Smith does an excellent job on the vocals, but his strength on this one is his catchy guitar riffs. This song has a solo that is so idiomatic that you could easily hum the tune along with it, something that Metal guitar solos are not often famous for. This single is probably a bit hard to come by at this point, but if you can find it - it's recommend it highly! It's a great song from Maiden's greatest album, and a pair of tracks that will make you smile and make you laugh, something that Metal is allowed to do to people, despite what the no-fun elitists of the darker scene.
“Wasted Years” reached number 18 in the UK Singles Charts and it’s one of those singles you just have to own when you’re into Maiden!!
Recorded from the original analogue master tapes.
