Run for the Hills! New Iron Maiden Compilation Due in May

March 16, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Iron Maiden's latest studio release may be called The Final Frontier, but the band - whose latest leg of The Final Frontier World Tour is set to kick off tomorrow in Mexico and wind through South America and Europe through August - still have a few tricks up Eddie's rotting sleeve. On May 23 in the U.K. (and a day later in the States), the band will release From Fear to Eternity: The Best of 1990-2010, a compilation spanning their most recent two decades.

Intended as a companion piece to 2008's Somewhere Back in Time: The Best of 1980-1990, this new set differs in that it spans across two discs instead of one. Accordingly, many of the tracks span as long as 11 minutes or so; there's quite a bit of material to get through on this set. Happily, the package is promised to retail for the cost of only one disc. There's also, unlike the last compilation, one track that's more difficult to find than most: a live take on "Man on the Edge," from The X Factor (1996). As with several of the songs, this one was originally not recorded with vocalist Bruce Dickinson (at the time, he was out of the band and pursuing a solo career), but whereas the other three live tracks come from their 2002 Rock in Rio live set, this particular track comes from the CD single of "The Wicker Man" released in 2000. So that's something for rarity hunters.

The official Iron Maiden website has posted the press release and a note from band manager Rod Smallwood on the album, and the official track list is after the jump.

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Damn. The last thing I need is another IM compilation album but I've got to keep up the collection. At least this compilation is mining the later catalog instead of those first 6 albums that have been compiled to death.
    All hail Maiden!

    This compilation looks interesting, but there has never been an honest to goodness Iron Maiden collection that would cover the early albums right up to the present day including many rarities like Women In Uniform, the Maiden Japan EP or their cover of Jethro Tull's Cross Eyed Mary. In 1995 Castle reissued their catalog with a bonus disc of rarities for each album. Get Universal involved to reissue the catalog like that again.
