Iron Maiden - Powerslave [Japanese Ed.] (1984)

Released in 1984, Powerslave is Iron Maiden’s fifth studio release and vocalist Bruce Dickinson’s third outing with the band. While opinions will differ, Powerslave is arguably the strongest, early-80s, release for Maiden as The Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mind both have exceptional songs but aren’t quite the cohesive album experience that Powerslave is. If nothing else, Powerslave is the embodiment of the heavy metal genre featuring intricate compositions and powerful performances that marked a high point in the band’s career, both in terms of their musical evolution and global popularity.
As is always the case with Iron Maiden, the album artwork is exquisite. Of course, with a keen interest in Ancient Egypt, I may be a little biased, but Powerslave doesn’t disappoint in that regard for it is as bold as the music contained within. However, when you get down to the sonic elements of Maiden’s records, while the production and overall mix are generally superb, the mastering of their albums, particularly the remastered releases, has been a point of contention amongst fans.

Iron Maiden - Killers [Japananese Ed.] (1981)

Year: 2 February 1981 (CD Mar 1, 1986)
Label: Tochiba-EMI (Japan), CP32-5107
Style: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock
Country: London, England
Time: 38:42
Format: Flac Tracks 16/44,1 kHz
Size: 261 Mb

Released in 1981, Killers solidified Iron Maiden's status as heavy metal pioneers. Building on the foundation laid by their self-titled debut album, the band pushed their boundaries and continued to evolve by delivering a record that combined adrenaline-fueled energy with thought-provoking lyrics and some of the greatest riffs you’re ever likely to hear.
It’s also Paul Di’Anno's final album, as vocalist, with Maiden and is somewhat bittersweet for as incredible as Bruce Dickinson is on the microphone, Di’Anno’s gravelly singing style was perfect for Maiden’s musical style. That said, I can’t imagine Maiden’s albums post-Killers had Di’Anno remained a member of the band. What has remained consistent, throughout the years, is Maiden’s album artwork and Killers is one of their very best. Eddie’s demonic grin is captivating and if the music doesn’t grab you, the artwork certainly will.

Somewhere Back in Time - The Best of: 1980 - 1989 is a best of release by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, containing a selection 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. The cover artwork by Derek Riggs features the Pharaoh Eddie monument from Powerslave and Cyborg Eddie from Somewhere in Time.
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.
