Iron Maiden are currently on the road on The Future Past Tour, but they’ve still had time to announce the vinyl reissues of two of their classic albums: Powerslave and Somewhere In Time.

Powerslave has just turned 40 years old - which makes some of us feel very old - and to mark the milestone, a limited-edition zoetrope picture disc will be released. It features the 2015 remaster of Maiden’s fifth studio album, along with an expanded sleeve, new artwork, and fresh liner notes from founder and bassist Steve Harris.

The reissue of 1986’s Somewhere In Time, meanwhile, has been pressed on striking yellow vinyl and also contains a 2015 remaster of the record. It also comes with a Future Past Tour lenticular, which combines Cyborg Eddie with his Senjutsu alter ego.

Both Powerslave 40th anniversary edition and Somewhere In Time will be available on November 15 and are now available to pre-order.

Iron Maiden’s next show will take place at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Thursday evening. They’ll head to New Zealand next week before a run of concerts in Japan and North and South America. Find the full list of tour dates below.
