Product Details

Assembled at a crossroads moment for the band, this 1996 collection arrived just as Bruce Dickinson had departed and Blaze Bayley was stepping into one of rock's most demanding vocal roles. The two Bayley cuts make it a genuine time capsule rather than a straight greatest-hits package, capturing Maiden in transition while the Dickinson-era catalog speaks for itself across two decades of arena-filling, fist-raising heavy metal.

Import pressing of their 1996 compilation that's out-of-print domestically. At nearly 78 minutes in length, the disc contains many of the group's expected headbanging highlights. The package skips over Paul Di'Anno-era material, favoring songs culled from the Bruce Dickinson-led lineup. Favorites like 'The Number of the Beast,' 'Aces High,' 'Be Quick or Be Dead,' 'Wasted Years,' 'The Trooper,' 'Run to the Hills,' & 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' are all featured. The collection also includes are a pair of tracks that feature Dickinson's short-lived replacement, 'Blaze' Bayley, 'Man on the Edge' & 'Virus.' EMI. 2005.
