CD ReviewsRare, Expensive, But Worth All Cost Buck Hanks | Martinsville VA | 09/16/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "Many Maiden fans remember the original Maiden Japan ep from back in the early 80's. Even then it was hard to come by. The ep only had five tracks running in this order: 1 Running Free 2 Remember tomorrow 3 Wrathchild 4 Killers 5 Innocent Exile The cd issue is very nice, remastered and expanded to 17 tracks! 1 Wrathchild 2 Purgatory 3 Sanctuary 4 Remember Tomorrow 5 Another Life (w. drum solo) 6 Genghis Khan 7 Killers 8 innocent Exile 9 Twilight Zone 10 Strange World 11 Murders in the Rue Morgue 12 Phantom of the Opera 13 Iron Maiden 14 Running Free 15 Transylvania (w. guitar solo) 16 Drifter 17 I've Got The Fire Wow! What a collection of early Maiden...all performed by the original band! I still prefer the Beast Over Hammersmith set, but only because I lean towards Bruce. But Maiden Japan is totally worthwhile, even if it costs too much." Caught Somewhere in Time Mr. Richard D. Coreno | Berea, Ohio USA | 08/06/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Maiden Japan EP was released in August 1981 - recorded in Japan earlier in the year - and was the vinyl swan song for lead vocalist Paul Di'Anno.
Geared to the Japanese marketplace, it was a four-song 45 rpm there, though a five-song set was issued in the United States and other nations. This expanded edition of nearly an entire set was a fan club promotion recorded from the Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo. A rare item, the concert captures the band in regal form and delivering a high-octane performance. It is an excellent coda for the 1978-1981 band, which set the stage for an incredible run as international arena rock icons in the 1980s." |
