PietrosCZ Oct 3, 2024
Dear ... well, I don't know, I have a lot of original IM original pressings and this seems to me rather bland, as if it were playing a CD, I cleaned this album several times with a wet method and the result did not appear ok for me in the collection, but the sound of the press was not very successful ...

This record sounds excellent, very good mastering and pressing. Recommended!
Dzubox Jun 17, 2023
This is a very good album by Iron Maiden, but I`m not so shure about production and sound of it, the sound is somehow harsh and dry.
Ixthis09 Nov 18, 2022
What to say... The best band in the fucking planet... Buy it wherever if you like it or not
gpking Sep 20, 2021
Very good, quiet pressing. Masteringwise, Bernie Grundman's studios worked their magic again. Also, great artwork and sturdy sleeve. Recommended.

I love mine!! The music, the art , all of it !!
Favorite track ~ If Eternity Should Fail
MrMel Jul 17, 2021
Killer album by Maiden it's a shame it's hard t o find for a reasonable price atm, I've been waiting since it came out & just found a reasonably priced copy today 6 yrs later on the cusp of their new album about to drop oh well get it if you can! UP THE IRONS!!

Very clean and quite vinyl. The overall sound is nice and warm with plenty of room to breath and fill the room. Soundstage is great and everything is spaced nicely. Great packaging as well.
Steppen Oct 1, 2019
Here we have another "limited" edition. Over 6400 have it & 147 for sale. So I guess just as limited as any normal pressing. Great marketing...
Krillenor Jul 15, 2019
This is a very nice album. I like that the music takes some space without lyrics.
The band sounds great. I can not point out a track that is bad.
Very good sounding LPs
