IRON MAIDEN "Somewhere Back In Time: The Best Of 1980-1989" [CD, - Jewel Case]
2008 - Heavy/NWOBHM from United Kingdom
Detailed Description
First re-release of the sixth compilation album by the legendary British Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band. A relentless, 70-minute crowd pleaser marathon, containing timeless anthems that still make the adrenalin surge and the sinews stiffen after all these years! Compilation contains a collection of songs originally recorded for their first eight albums (including "Live After Death"). The album was released in conjunction with the band's Somewhere Back In Time World Tour to allow new fans to listen to a selection of the band's material that was played on the tour. A number of tracks were taken from the band's 1985 live album, "Live After Death", because the band preferred to use recordings which featured current Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson rather than Paul Di'Anno, who sang on their first two studio releases. This compilation is reminder of why Iron Maiden became the most important band on the planet back in the 1980s and why, once again, they've reclaimed that crown! Metal collections don't come much more solid than this!!
