IRON MAIDEN
LIVE AFTER DEATH 40TH -ANNIVERSARY COLLECTORS EDITION
PARLOPHONE
£49.99
HISTORY IS WRITTEN by the victors. Iron Maiden’s double-disc colossus emerged in 1985, as the British legends were reaching the first peak of their early fame. Live After Death is not just the greatest live album of all time: it represents the moment when Steve Harris and his comrades hammered home their (obvious) superiority, both in the live arena and the charts. It is an album so iconic that its packaging – tour stats booklet included – has become as legendary as the music itself. This lavish reissue includes the dazzling 2015 audio remaster on two discs (blue and yellow), a replica 24-page World Slavery tour programme, a replica tour pass, and an expanded version of the album’s original booklet featuring new interviews with Steve, Nicko McBrain, manager Rod Smallwood, and artist Derek Riggs. Most importantly, Live After Death remains completely unfuckwithable. tinyurl.com/maiden-live40
