Wouldn't every IM fan already have these. This is just a money grab. For the band. And the excuse about turning on new fans doesn't cut it. By releasing a best of maybe 3% go and purchase an album based on the hit of the best of's.

Steve Harris must have realized there are enough hardcore Maiden fans that have to own everything Maiden that will buy it. Cool cover though and it does give a new fan a way to check out the best tunes from that era. The band may just like to have some product around when they tour.

I will have to get back to this once I've properly listened these tracks. Due to an overdose and antipathy towards Bruce Dickinson's vocals I haven't been listening Iron Maiden since Brave New World.

Good for them. If any early NWOBHM band deserves to have eggs thrown at them then... wait oops! cry

This is a cash grab,....from the undisputed KINGS of the cash grab.

That being said,....I'm seeing them with my brother and his 10-year old son in Philly in a week and a half.

I will no doubt buy a T-Shirt, a pin, and some other Eddie swag....

Hey Princess, be sure to spend a couple minutes thinking about Eddie's twin brother, none other than...........Rudy Sarzo, bassist for DIO!!

Couldn't resist...you can't deny the similarities!!
