Synopsis

Amazon.com
Metal fans appreciate merchandise that's as extravagant as the music is heavy. And Iron Maiden's "metal," (tin) box, with a bas-relief, red-eyed Eddie mascot on its lid and a gothic, pewter-based shot glass with a glowering Eddie on the bottom, is indeed a nice bit of heavy metal. Nestled inside are three two-CD sets, comprising 77 live songs, as well as a "family tree" scroll secured with a metal Eddie ring. As usual with Maiden's prolific live output, Eddie's Archive contains uniformly excellent recordings. The first set, "The BBC Archives," chronicles four concerts conducted between 1979 and 1988; it serves up the expected hits, including "Run to the Hills," with the first four songs of disc one featuring original singer Paul Di'Anno. The gem of Eddie's Archive is "Best of the B-Sides," which features 31 tunes (mostly studio recordings), including awesome covers of Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary," Golden Earring's "Kill Me ce Soir," two Montrose songs, and cuts originally done by Chuck Berry and Led Zeppelin--as well as covers of such obscure bands as Nektar and Beckett. "B-Sides" is almost worth the price of admission, though the package's "stash" box and shot glass are musts for militant Maiden devotees. --Katherine Turman

Reviewer "FIshcake" is an idiot!!! Iron Maiden Rules!!!!!!

"Don't be fooled by useless reviews from people like "Fishcake" found on this list! Iron Maiden always has been at the top of the metal game. They are living legends and are still putting out quality music...quality metal. How many bands can pull it off with 3 guitarists? Any true fan of metal or Maiden will want this box and will gain even more appreciation for what they've accomplished over the last 20 years. Up the Irons!!!"
FOR FANS ONLY !!!

"Hi METALFANS from around the world !!! I have absolutely every album CD & DVD and many Maxisingles....I had to purchase my used "EDDIES ARCHIVES" from another country !!!



Its a large tin box, inside you find velvet lining (Blue for the first edition, red if its the second edition), 3 double cds...im sure others have detailed in their reviews...a glass with eddies face at the bottom, a scroll (Family tree) and a ring on the scroll...



What can i say....Its just marvelous, the 3 double cds arent sold out of the box set so if you are a fan you are forced to purchase this....i was wishing it had a DVD but then if you are a DIE HARD MAIDEN FAN you must have anything the band has ever touched, designed or created !!!! HAHAHAHA



NOTE: the double cd titled "B-sides" is great but not as complete as the other HARD TO GET "24 unreleased studio tracks (Double too)!!!



Its expensive....but as my review title displays: ITS ONLY FOR FANS !!!
