Album Notes
This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The Enhanced portion includes music videos for "Run To The Hills" and "Number Of The Beast."Iron Maiden: Bruce Dickinson (vocals); Dave Murray, Adrian Smith (guitar); Steve Harris (bass); Clive Burr (drums).Engineers: Martin "Farmer" Birch, Nigel "It Wasn't Working Yesterday" Hewitt-Green.Recorded at Battery Studios, London, England.Digitally remastered by Simon Heyworth (Chop 'Em Out).1982's THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST remains one of heavy metal's all-time classics. Although the British quintet was in the midst of enjoying its first taste of global success, original singer Paul Di'Anno abruptly quit in 1981. Though stunned, the young band wisely agreed to soldier on, making ex-Samson singer Bruce Dickinson their new frontman. Nicknamed "The Air Raid Siren," Dickinson's voice was to become one of the band's most prominent signature characteristics. It also didn't hurt that the band had composed some of its best songs ever, such as the haunting title song, and its first U.K. Top-10 single, "Run to the Hills." Other highlights include the sinister "Children of the Damned," the melodic "The Prisoner," and the album-closing epic "Hallowed Be Thy Name."

One of, if not the best Maiden albums. Featuring Children of the Damned, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Prisoner, 22 Acacia Avenue, Gangland, Total Eclipse, Invaders and Maiden classics Run To The Hills and Number of the Beast.
A must for all Iron Maiden and Heavy Metal fans alike.

  Their Best
Review created: 17/09/08

In the days in the playground when the rockers would fight with the punks. Your idols where either Motorhead or The Sex Pistols or THAT new group called Iron Maiden.
I loved them from the beginning when DiAnno was shouting Running Free and becoming a star on the killers album.
I was devestated when he left Maiden and was replaced by some bloke called Bruce Dickinson!!! That was until they released The Number of the Beast the best Maiden album ever. I got my first copy and fell in love with Children of the Damned my favourite track ever.
Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast is the best Metal album EVER!!!
