- My copy is unlistenable. I most have gotten a very bad pressing, the titel track distorts in the chorus so you just have too turn it off. Had to buy a n old copy and that sounded great. I thought every new pressing was flawless but now I know. I´m gonna stay away from new vinyls and consentrate on old copies.
- I still remember hearing this album for the first time with my best friend weeks after release: First we‘ve been shocked because of the synth / keyboard part in the intro of Moonchild, then we both got enthusiastic about the incredible fat and ass-kicking production of the record. Nevertheless this album was the last IM album I immediately bought after the release of a new one. „Piece of Mind“ in comparison, was and is unique and a high benchmark.
- Lovely flat silent vinyl. Presents the recording in a fair light, obviously its not audiophile by any stretch but theres no nastyness here. A fine reissue at a sensible price pressed at high quality (at least mine is!)

I don't agree at all with the bad reviews I'm reading here. It's not the best sounding record in my collection but certainly not anywhere the worst. I'll admit that it would've benefited from being pressed as a double to reduce some compression but come on folks. Unless there's drastic differences among individual copies of the same press, I'd say a lot of you are being far too critical. I don't know, maybe my damaged 50+ year old ears don't hear the same as some of yours. I will say that when it comes to the artwork, those of you complaining are just being ridiculous- Edited one month ago

Spine artwork has a misprint where they used the same piece of Eddie on both sides, so that if you line up all of the cds in this release, Eddie’s face will be formed, but in this case it only lines up on one side. Somewhere in Time has the same issue - excelent copy, no pops or backrgound noise, but its a bit low sounding, so need to play loud. anyway good quality

What the hot garbage is this? And before you tell me to upgrade my system, I’m running under a soundsmith cart with the rest of the gear to support that cart. So basically it’s not my gear. This pressing is just hot garbage. It deserves better.referencing Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180 gram) 2564624849
I don't get the bad reviews. My copy came out very clean, very flat, and noise free. The dynamics ARE NOT incredible. It does sound a bit flat across the board, but it doesn't sound bad. The low end is tight but could have benefitted from a little more oomph. Mids and highs are crisp and clear. Nothing is muddy. It's not horrible. It's not bad. Jacket is fine with art and text and no thing is misprinted, crooked, blurry, or fuzzy.referencing Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (LP, Album) FA 3247
It seems that they were printed right from the first English matrices. The sound is perfect. Well done!referencing Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180 gram) 2564624849
The record sounds bad. Guitars are mixed into a mess. It feels like I'm listening to a 128 kbps MP3. My Russian record sounds like Iron Maiden and surpasses this squalor in all respects. An unsuccessful 2014 for Iron Maiden records.
