LP collection: Somewhere Back In Time 2008 best of. 14 live and studio tracks. EU pressing.











Well boys and girls, here it is the spectacular Somewhere Back In Time Best Of. I'm saying spectacular only referring to the sleeve and vinyls because we collectors know that this is a useless edition, nothing new to us, nothing...It starts to pisses me off this thing of making best offs every six years, in 12 years there was 5!!!!! They could have waited to the end of the present tour , release the DVD with the documentary, the live show etc, and also a live cd and vinyl to go along, the collectors would appreciate much more, they could have kept the artwork which is amazing, made by the Great Derek Riggs back in 1986/1987 , Derek just made a couple of improvements and changes on Eddie and pyramids specially for this release. The picture discs are fabulous, I think I will be on the next 30 days just be sitting on my couch watching them and play them, I really buy them to play it, not just to look.The inner sleeves are from tick paper and they are full of hieroglyphics on both sides, they could have bother to put some live photos... what a lack of ideas!Inside there are the lyrics and credits and the back sleeve is different from the Cd edition. The tracks are exactly the same as in the Cd.As a vinyl it stands out but I'm very disappointed because we collectors expect much more, if this is a album for the "new Iron Maiden listeners" ( we all know this is crap, the new listeners have the LAD, Real Live Dead One, Donington 1992, Edward The Great and Rock In Rio 2001 in Cd , they don't need a new best of), why did they make a edition for the collectors? And why not a different vinyl edition for the collectors? Maybe with a poster, a special photo booklet, hei?
