![]() ![]() The single's sleeve does not mention where this live version of 'The Number Of The Beast' was recorded, but I've been told that it was at Dortmund on 18th December 1983, the same version that appears in the 12 Wasted Years video. I recall when we first toured Japan, in interviews Steve talked of his love for Nektar which led to a big increase in their sales in Japan due to the interest generated. Steve was a big fan of this British band who based themselves in Germany. It is quite a good song and features some very interesting drumming and bass work by Nicko and Steve. The Maiden cover version of the song is actually a merging of two separate songs, 'King Of Twilight' and 'Crying In The Dark', from the 1972 album A Tab In The Ocean. This song was originally recorded by a progressive rock group called Nektar formed in Hamburg by British band expatriates who lived and recorded in Germany. ![]() This is the same version as on the Powerslave album. Rod Smallwood's comments are taken from the Best Of The B'Sides album booklet included in the Eddie's Archive box. Perhaps this is implying that Maiden's music continues to improve on itself, which is arguably true for those first five albums. So, Eddie has shot down his own past incarnations. The front cover picture is rather great and the back cover picture is also interesting, showing the side of the Spitfire where has been painted the plane's recent kills, which are the five Eddie faces from the five preceeding albums.

So in the most bizarre circumstances, getting seriously ill has put me doing what I absolutely love. Multiple Sclerosis had taken its toll and I could no longer keep working in the construction business, so I decided to go for it and concentrate on making custom figures. When I left school I went to college to study Art and Design and originally saw my career on this path, but with one thing and another that didn't work out, but at the beginning of this year I was at a crossroads. I started making the odd Eddie figure for fun and then commissioned work. I have been an Iron Maiden fan since 87 and over the years have accumulated a huge collection of various memorabilia.ĭue to serious illness I had to start selling items as I started to take more and more time off work, being a self employed plasterer with my own business for the last 20 years getting sick pay was not an option.
