        Just thought I'd add my two cents worth on this. I wasn't expecting too much given the negative reviews this album garners (for the sound not the songs themselves) so I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds on my system. Nice bottom end and the top end is noticeably better than the original CD, which indeed sounds pretty horrible at times. I'm using an AT-VM540ML - A cartridge with a notably bright sound so maybe that's helping but I would say if you have slight doubts about this pressing it might just be the best you're going to get soundwise for this particular record. Yes it's the 2015 remaster but it's still way better than the original.

        It's known in Maiden circles that the poor sound of the album was down to Steve Harris himself, I'm afraid. The tracks were actually recorded on analogue tape but the album itself was mastered from a CD given to Steve Harris by producer Kevin Shirley that he processed through, in his words, an "old" digital convertor that you could "Really smash the crap out of". Harris liked the sound and took the CD to the studio and told the mastering engineer to master direct from the CD (!). Shirley has said that he has also done a proper 1/2" master from the tapes but this has never seen the light of day unfortunately.

          I hope that if the band reissues this album that they will change the cover. They have done it the past for No Prayer For The Dying so there's no reason not to hope for a better artwork to fit the quality of this album which definitely deserves it.

            Bought this expecting bad things after reading the reviews here, but found out the sound is quite dynamic and there is a lot of bottom end, which I like, you want a brighter sounding record? just add some treble in your EQ and that's it. To me this sounds wonderful, nice instrument separation and warm, even sound. The package is top notch, yeah the album cover looks a bit outdated and not at the level of pretty much all the other IM records, but still, it has its charm. Glad I bought this and for a decent price as well.

                  I love this pressing. Listening now. The pressing is def better than the cd. And although I am not a fan of Kevin Shirley and his Maiden sound...the vinyl really brings out the musicality of the songs on this album. The pressing I have is perfect..noise free and well pressed overall. The quality of the cover and inserts is top notch and enhances the art work. Now lets talk about the album. I will say this album has such a wide variety of songs..its great...time changes styles and just great song writing. Not many in the Heavy Metal genre can compare ..IMO.

                    Not the best pressing. Terrible HF distortion throughout on my pressing. Don't shell out cash for this.

                      Could anyone please share on whether this version is better than the BMG release (US 2017)?
