^ Great album. Is it the x3 LP version - Number of The Beast, Beast Over Hammersmith? You confused me a little with the Gangland/Total Eclipse thing as the single LP 40th anniversary version is as the original:

I was a bit older when I first got into Maiden proper. I was working in The Shetland Islands (must have been 1984 iirc) on the northern most island. A mate was going down to Lerwick and I bunged him a few quid to get me a couple of IM albums and he came back with the first 5 lol.

It is the 3LP indeed, with the 2LP Beast over Hammersmith being LP2 and 3.
For me it was Beast, then a couple of 12" singles that were around such as Women in Uniform, Maiden Japan(!!) and Run to the Hills "super sound version". That one had Total Eclipse as B side so I knew the track of course. Maiden were good at that early on, B sides and live tracks.
The followed the S/T and Killers which took some getting used to due to the Di'Anno vocals but I quickly relented being such fantastic albums. Killers side A is a work of genius, absolutely brilliant.

You know, I always really liked the first 2 Iron Maiden and prefer Paul Di'Anno's vocals to Bruce's. And yes, Killers Side A is off the scale. The first 2 albums are so raw

I had a couple of pounds left on an iTunes voucher and downloaded the B side Burning Ambition. I've always loved that song.

Kiss - Creatures of the night. Half speed master 40th ann whatever, I needed a new copy my (indeed 40 years) old copy is worn out. Nice tip on jacket and actually a decent mastering & pressing job. Oh and the eyes on the sleeve glow in the dark
