So, this morning on my way to work I decided to pop on Somewhere In Time, which I haven’t listened to in far too long.
As I said on Twitter:

A Look Back: Killers

The one thing that has always confused me in my study of Iron Maiden’s history – ok, ONE of the things that has always confused me – is the band’s continual ignoring of their second album Killers except for two songs (namely ‘Wrathchild’ and ‘Killers’).

‘Iron Maiden’ – A Look Back
October 6th, 2009 § 0
I don’t remember the first time I heard Iron Maiden’s self-titled debut. I know I already knew the songs, from devouring my brother’s double-cassette copy of Live After Death endlessly since the end of 1986. I had since bought Somewhere In Time, and again devoured it. I don’t know how I came to find out what the exact order of Maiden albums was, although I’m sure it was the copy of Heavy Metal Encyclopedia (or some such book) I’d bought with the express purpose of re-reading the 2-page entry on Maiden over, and over, and over.
