Warner Music is pleased to announce the release of a commemorative triple black vinyl album in honor of the 40th anniversary of the third Iron Maiden album, The Number Of The Beast, which was also the first to feature Bruce Dickinson on vocals and was to become the band’s breakthrough record. The new vinyl packaging includes Beast Over Hammersmith for the first time on vinyl with the live concert from the now legendary March 1982 show by Beast On The Road World Tour. Recorded just days before the release of The Number Of The Beast album, it’s remarkable to think that these now classic songs at the time were still brand new, unknown and being heard live by fans for the first time. A real piece of history in the making. The package features exclusive liner notes written by Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris as well as restored and expanded artwork taken from the CD format of Beast Over Hammersmith, previously only available in the Limited Edition Eddie’s Archive boxset originally released in 2002.
