Product Description

CD Description

East London heavy metal veterans Iron Maiden release 'Somewhere Back In Time', a compilation celebrating their first seven studio albums and one live album, recorded between 1980 and 1989. By helping to shape their genre (influencing most metal acts since) and selling millions of records, the band have achieved legendary status. Including classics such as '2 Minutes To Midnight' and 'Run To The Hills', this is a must for rockers everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Iron Maiden, 3 Jun 2008
By Stef (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
Ok so this is another "best of..." album. Ok so it only covers the '80s and misses all of the recent hits. The comments in reviews below seem to cover these points a lot! REALLY, read the title!! Maiden aren't hiding this, if you don't need another best of album don't buy it. You're all big boys aren't you with a mind of you're own? If you're going to post a review, review the music. This album includes some of the very best IRON MAIDEN around. These are classic tracks from the best British metal band. If you are an old Maiden fan like me you can not help but enjoy this...it's playing in my car every morning on the way to work and if "Can I play with madness" doesn't put you in a good mood I don't know what will. If you're a newbe, then sit back, enjoy and be amazed at some of the best metal tracks around!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all about the music., 25 May 2008
By beandog (England.) - See all my reviews
This CD earns a five star review from me because, simply put, there is not a bad song on it.
Other reviewers have chosen to criticize because they feel that it's a cash in - designed to exploit the die hard fans into shelling out yet again for "another" best of. Not so. This set is aimed at the casual listener and the curious newcomer. Maiden have said that they don't expect their fans to buy everything they release, so guess what people...If you've already got these songs - don't buy them again. For those that think previous "best of" collections should be enough, remember this CD is all about making Maiden's music as accessible as possible for those who are only just discovering the band. People who aren't going to spend time exploring what may or may not have been released previously.
If you are a newcomer - You could do a lot worse than to pick up a copy of this disk. The quality of songs on offer is second to none. This release is a great springboard towards a band that play some of the most life affirming music on offer today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iron Maiden-Somewhere Back In Time, 11 April 2009
By Mr. A. D. Humphries (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A collection of some of the early stuff from a classic metal band. Even nearly 30 years on, it still stands the test of time. How many bands would rather that their early stuff would just 'go away?' From the introductory 'Churchill speech' that always raises the hackles on my back of my neck and on through classics like The Trooper, Children of the Damned, Number of the Beast and Run to the Hills, this is a must have album for anyone who likes their music 'on the heavy side'.
