"I have waited many years for this to be re released on vinyl and at last that day has come. Excellent progressive album with what is possibly the most bizarre sleeve art in all of my collection.

"I'm not really a big fan of Heavy Metal or Metal in general. But Iron Maiden is a very, very good band: guitar riffs give off an unparalleled energy, guitar solos are awesome ...
