Hello Dylan! It must be an Herculean task to be a Maiden completist. I only have the first three albums and the 1985 12” European issue of Running free. I know there’s a lot of dedicated fans who aims for the absolute complete official collection. In my youth we used to compare them to another British band with a likeminded output : Depeche mode. Their completist fans have a similar mountain to climb. But , as we know , it’s the hunt that draws you in. Keep going bro , and play loud.
I collected all these original uk 12inchers and some 7inchers circa early 80s, when they were new. The only one that was 7inch ONLY, was Running Free/ Burning Ambition. My Sanctuary original 7inch had a big X through the Thatcher picture. I bought them again in 1990, with the First Ten Years series reissues. Those had Nicko giving a quick history of the story of the singles. I already had 2 each of the Powerslave and Somewhere singles, cause i bought the regular 12inch and the 12inch picture disc. The thought of buying these again in 2014, seemed redundant, but i did get a few
I have the Original 19 7 inches that came out in 2014. I bought them from Hastings before they closed. Does this mean mine are worth less now? I never opened mine

4:14 album cover is Thatcher ambushing Eddie with a machine gun. Its her revenge for the previous album cover.
If you got these from the store, I'm the one who traded them in haha! Nice to see them opened
I always wanted to know how those 7"records looked when unboxed. I own them to but they are still with the shrink wrap.
Up the Maidens! Aces High is also one of my favorites
Love from Spain
I love total eclipse as a b side - but adding it to Beast and removing Gangland is just wrong imo 🎉- good video
I collected all these not long after release, I also got a fan made collectors box in the style of The Complete Albums Collection to put them all in

Great stuff just discovered your channel and subscribed 👌
Nice haul, Dylan! Hope you play some of them on your next live stream.

You could've at least wore an Iron Maiden t-shirt!😅
