1984's Powerslave is Iron Maiden's fifth album overall and the third in a career defining trilogy of classic heavy metal releases that also includes The Number of the Beast (1982) and Piece Of Mind (1984). The fact that Powerslave was the first Maiden album to feature the same line-up as its predecessor is evident in the album's excellent execution and ability to implement all of the band's hallmarks definitively. The epic 8-song set features the quintessential singles "Aces High" and "2 Minutes to Midnight," not to mention an ambitious 13-minute plus adaptation of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" which would become a concert staple. 

The release of these high quality, black vinyl records offers optimum choice to fans who would like to own a piece of Iron Maiden’s authentic 1980’s vinyl sound, or for those simply wanting to rediscover this much loved, iconic format. Coupled with the end of the Maiden England World Tour which began in North America in 2012 and finished in July 2014 at Knebworth Park’s Sonisphere Festival, this now completes Maiden’s 1980’s touring and catalogue reissues cycle, so the band is free to focus on their dynamic future plans.
