- My quick review of the Iron Maiden limited edition picture disc collection and also some little comparison with the original vinyl pressings.
There's a warning text "These discs are manufactured from vinyl which includes pictures. By nature of this manufacturing process, sound quality may be compromised" in the back cover.
I think that tells you more than "Limited Edition Heavyweight Vinyl Cut From Original Vinyl Production Masters In Deluxe Gatefold Sleeve" in the front cover OBI strip.
Please leave a comment how you feel about these picture disc reissues.
So fucking amazing!
I have tried to find any info on these picture discs and it's pretty hard to find anything solid. About all I can find is the fist album is pretty decent, the rest sound like crap. I need the first one so I may take a chance and grab it. Nice video bro.
Yes, records are made for listening to the music. If you want to get Maiden on vinyl, I really recommend you to find the original UK or US pressings on black vinyl.
ah sorry the first picture disc I got was Iron Maiden En Vivo....which sounded decent (although the opening music was super muddy) once the record kicked in, it wasn't horrible....I'd even say it sounded average...I'll probably get the blueray or DVD so I am not so worried about the record being my only version.
wow...i saw their first album today for 20.00 ---i think its cheaper on ebay...i need some maiden for my collection.grrrrrrr....-gary/texas
Seriously cool box set, Mikko. I've never followed this band but I'm still very impressed. It's such a shame that someone can't figure out a way to make picture discs sound as good as standard vinyl (non-picture disc) pressings. Still very cool. If I was as big a Maiden fan as you, I would certainly want one too!
The remastered re released versions get f--ked up because removing or adding parts
Thanks for watching, Rob!
Piece of Mind cover is glossier indeed, but the picture quality is not so good. Let alone the sound quality. I think the original UK pressing of Piece of Mind is the best sounding Iron Maiden album I've ever heard.
Good info Mikko. I have this set and its a let down sound wise, but I do like the packaging and artwork. I would say sound wise, the debut sounded the best.
Thanks for the review. What was the original price for the box set?
I've listened to only the debut, Killers and Somewhere In Time from this box set. You're right that the debut sounded the best out of these three. And it was horrible! :D
Thanks for taking the time to do this Mikko, awesome video. Sorry to hear you weren't happy with the overall, they really fucked this set up which is too bad. Everyone (myself included) was so excited about them. I have 2 copies of ea original (up through 7th Son) and also Final Frontier and agree, the black vinyl always sounds best. You have an excellent investment as you said. Just sad it turned out this way. Great job w/the video, always good to see you (and Eddie) \,,/ Up the Irons brother.
Can you do review of Iron Maiden From Fear To Eternity picture disc
piece of mind is one of the best albums
great unboxing and you do know your maiden
Piece of Mind is one of favorites too. Thanks for watching!
Hi Mikko
I bought "Number Of The Best" yesterday...I was weak, and couldn't resist :).. But, I was surprised how loud the swooshing sound is. I will not be getting any more of these picture discs. Thats for sure.
Very neat man where did u get that? Did they reissue them.
I like how you compared the originals to this box set, the only one I own so far is Killers. If I need to pick up the original pressings first and maybe in the future pick up this set, we should keep bugging Maiden so they can release their catalog on 180g black vinyl. Great video Mikko!
Fantastic collection Mikko. I saw Rob 26Bond post a few Maiden items in his last few videos. This set is truly beautiful.
I was surprised to hear that you liked the Piece Of Mind original cover better than the box set one. The box set copy did look glossier.
That is really sweet. Thanks for sharing it~

LOL, Mikko you kill me. Your video really got me in the mood to hear some maiden, so I'm spinning Somewhere in Time right now, original 1st US press. This album sounds great on vinyl. Regarding the box set, it's unfortunate, but I really don't mind as I have great copies of the originals on vinyl and all my original press Canadian CDs. Is it true that A Matter of Life and Death sounds the best on vinyl out of the new releases? I'd love to find that on vinyl. Enjoy your weekend Mikko.

I have the original UK pressings of the first seven albums and the original US pressing of the SSoaSS and they sound very good, especially the sound quality Piece of Mind is absolutely fantastic!
This box set was good as an investment. But I can't help myself thinking that I would have got Brave New World and couple of other Maiden rarities I'm missing on vinyl with the same money. Unfortunately they are picture discs too, but I suppose they would have made me a lot happier. :D
very nice review. I think in hindsight as you seem like a huge Maiden fan you will enjoy these for the imagery. I think the discs themselves are very cool. I only own one picture disc and I just got it. But seeing the art put a BIG smile on my face and I want to get a few more of these (already ordered Maiden England and Live After Death) You seem to already have the records (on black vinyl) so unless you only wanted to sell them I think opening them and enjoy the art was worth it!
I agree with your comments about Somewhere in time cover, the original press is better. I´ve seen the video when you showed the Katatonia collection, a priceless treasure.

UP THE IRONS!!
I bought Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son picture discs but I've decided not to play them. I've since read that they aren't even good to play anyway so that makes my decision firmer: why use a brand new vinyl if the quality isn't gonna be up to scratch? :/
Man I've been on the fence on these Maiden picture discs and almost bought some a couple of different times but I'm so leery of picture discs that I haven't and your video confirms that decision. Look beautiful but at the end of the day it's about the music. Great, informative video. Rock on Mikko!!!
I've heard that The Final Frontier would be the best one out of the new Maiden releases, but I haven't listened to it yet. I'll have to try it and A Matter of Life and Death too some day. I have also their latest live album En Vivo! on vinyl and the picture disc sounds horrible.
Now I've been enjoying The First Ten Years box set and they sound absolutely amazing!
Thanks, Vance! It is a very nice collectors item, but you just can't listen to these. And I think vinyl records are made for listening, not just watching.
Yep. We should keep bugging Steve Harris, Rod Smallwood & EMI that they would respect the fans and offer them also something to listen to.
Thanks for watching!
If you need some Maiden for your collection and you'd like also to listen to them, avoid these.
Just wondering,
Do you think they may have tried not to upstage the original art work due to the fact it is the original art work and should not to upstaged?
Honest question,
i think sound can be better but painting is dissapointing.. i like painting also very much, like always!
awesome Mikko!!!!!! Up the irons. I totally agree with everything you say about this boxset...! what can i say. cool stuff to have and looks good. collectable. But you dont litsen to them. Thats why we have the originals ;) Cheers !
where you from, your english language is pretty own style, i dont say bad but not so good either?
Cool I have all the originals in first edition pressings but I need this.I listen to Iron Maiden on vinyl that any other band :)
Yes. It's removable, just like the OBI strips on many Japanese pressings.

+grotesqueforms Thanks!
Good video Mikko
no function
The seal in this corner of the cover is removable?
Yes.
a whole review and no playing of the vinyl .... I buy records to play
Don't buy picture discs if you intent on listening to them.
vladlashing picture discs are for collecting. Buy the regular vinyls if you want to play them. It's a collector thing
TheLukieBoi1 Exactly!
+TheBlackMassIsNear agree.. picture vinyl look odd, my opinion.. yes regular, where is paper pictures and pockets, like usual is what save vinyls..
+TheVinylCorner my opinion, not worthy buy that, iron maiden box set, better buy single versions, like 180g heavy reissue vinyls, i m not going To buy that box set..
