BMG and INgrooves Music Group will follow the 2012/13 IRON MAIDEN vinyl picture disc reissues of the first eight Iron Maiden albums, which spanned the 1980s, with brand new pressings of the albums in heavyweight 180g black vinyl in the United States. In conjunction with these premium album releases, a strictly limited one-off run of the 7 singles from each respective album will be made available. These highly collectable black vinyl singles will be cut from the original UK analogue master tapes. Released in replica artwork packaging, this will be the first time ever that these black vinyl singles have officially been made available in the U.S. and sure to become a must-have item for fans, collectors and anyone who missed out first time round. The albums will also be cut from the original UK analogue master tapes and packaged in identical artwork to the initial 1980 s releases. As a bonus, the first batch of album releases (Iron Maiden/Killers/The Number Of The Beast) will also be made available in a Collector s Box sized to house all 8 albums. This package will be a strictly limited edition and available while stocks last. The records will be released chronologically across a two-month period starting October 14th with the first 3 albums (Iron Maiden/Killers/The Number Of The Beast) and the seven corresponding 7 singles: Running Free b/w Burning Ambition Sanctuary b/w Drifter (Live) and I've Got The Fire (Live) Women In Uniform b/w Invasion Twilight Zone / Wrathchild double A side Purgatory b/w Genghis Khan Run To The Hills b/w Total Eclipse The Number Of The Beast b/w Remember Tomorrow (Live) Followed by: October 28th: Piece Of Mind, Powerslave and Live After Death and the six corresponding 7 singles: Flight Of Icarus b/w I've Got The Fire The Trooper b/w Cross-Eyed Mary 2 Minutes To Midnight b/w Rainbow s Gold Aces High b/w King Of Twilight Running Free (Live) b/w Sanctuary (Live) Run To The Hills (Live) b/w Phantom Of The Opera (Live) November 25th: Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and the six corresponding 7 singles: Wasted Years b/w Reach Out Stranger In A Strange Land b/w That Girl Can I Play With Madness b/w Black Bart Blues The Evil That Men Do b/w Prowler 88 The Clairvoyant b/w The Prisoner (Live) Infinite Dreams (Live) b/w Killers (Live) The release of these high quality, black vinyl records offers optimum choice to fans who would like to own a piece of Maiden s authentic 1980 s vinyl sound, or for those simply wanting to rediscover this much loved, iconic format. Coupled with the end of the Maiden England World Tour which began in North America in 2012 and finished last month at Knebworth Park's Sonisphere Festival in the UK, this now completes Maiden s 1980 s touring and catalogue reissues cycle, so the band are free to focus on their dynamic future plans.

Awesome reissue of the classic Maiden single with original artwork ...
Awesome reissue of the classic Maiden single with original artwork that you'll remember from the golden age of metal. Pressing is clean and sounds great; packaging and cover is perfect. Maybe a ripple here and there depending on which single you get, but nothing that affects the sound

Great price for a legendary album single
A must have for any Maiden fan. Had the original back in the late 80's but has to many stretches so I ordered it again. Sounds better than ever. 🤘

heavy card stock paper and of course better sound quality at 45RPM
Well done replica on quality vinyl, heavy card stock paper and of course better sound quality at 45RPM.A chain is only as strong as its weakest link so sound quality is subjective but at least the weak link here is not the Vinyl!

Seeing all of the complaints about quality control made me ...
Seeing all of the complaints about quality control made me open up all of the singles and albums from the first two batches of releases. Sure enough, out of 12 singles, 11 had multiple dimples and ripples, and two had scratches to boot. Only Purgatory was flawless. The 6 albums are flawless - but there is no way the last two albums are going to fit. I'm in the US but had to order the European version of the box as Amazon US screwed me over. I ordered the day the release was announced and waited patiently and the day of release Amazon suddenly didn't have a release date. So, I panicked and ordered form Amazon UK. I watched DHL's tracking as they tried to deliver my order several times in Germany.. lol. Finally after 21 days it showed up in a completely smashed and destroyed shipping box. I was devastated. But upon opening the box set was amazingly unscathed - even though it only had a measly strip of packing paper thrown in with it. So I load the first six releases up and they barely fit... Now I see the US version will actually house all 8. So, do I send this set back to Amazon UK and take a chance with the US version? Or will Maiden step up and make this right?
