Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast/Beast over Hammersmith Box Set (3 LP)

Limited Edition 40th Anniversary 180g 3LP Set!
This release is limited to 15,000 units for the U.S. The 3LP 180g triple gatefold set celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Number of the Beast. It features The Number of the Beast PLUS the long out-of-print Beast over Hammersmith album, which was recorded live on March 20, 1982, two days before the original release of The Number of the Beast.
The Number of the Beast is the first Iron Maiden studio album to feature Bruce Dickinson, and it was the first Iron Maiden album to hit the US Top 40 and received RIAA platinum certification. It features the classic title track, "Run to the Hills," "Hallowed Be Thy Name," and more!
"...the album as a whole represented a high-water mark for heavy metal, striking a balance between accessible melodicism and challenging technique and intensity. Everything fell into place for Iron Maiden here at exactly the right time, and the result certainly ranks among the top five most essential heavy metal albums ever recorded. A cornerstone of the genre." - Steve Huey, AllMusic.com, 4.5/5 stars, praise for The Number of the Beast
