Iron Maiden continue to mine their past with latest in CD series

Iron Maiden - THE STUDIO COLLECTION – REMASTERED

Iron Maiden have announced the second round of releases in their The Studio Collection Remastered digipack series.

The latest batch will be unleashed on March 22, and will comprise Powerslave, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son and No Prayer For The Dying

The collection follows on from the band’s 2014-2017 vinyl releases, and are from the same remasters as the 2015 hi-res digital albums.

The first four albums to emerge in the series were Iron Maiden, Killers, The Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mind, which came out in November

Somewhere In Time will also be optionally available in a specially designed box which will include a 1:24 scale figure of Maiden mascot Eddie and a patch.

Maiden bassist Steve Harris says: "We’ve wanted to revisit these for a long time and I was delighted with the remastering we did in 2015. 

“I thought it was the best that our albums have ever sounded and it was only right that we made them available on CD now too.”

The collection is now available for pre-order from Amazon - find a full list of releases below.

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time Collectors Edition

The most underrated of Maiden’s ‘80s albums by a mile, Somewhere In Timecame between two major milestones and, as a result, seldom gets the props it deserves. In fact, it’s stunning, and still sounds fresh and vital 30 years later.
