Haven't had a chance to listen to them as I had to head out after unboxing everything. Will listen tomorrow! The box is absolutely huge.... How was the box packed? Did they put styrofoam or cardboard inside? Just wondering cuz it's coming from UK to US, thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering cuz it's coming from UK to US, thx It was packed really well. The Maiden box itself has a sturdy cardboard box within it holding everything in place and then the whole thing is placed in a custom cardboard box, which is then in an Amazon box. I was quite impressed with how well it was packed to be honest. faaip de oiad and vinyl addict 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 My FotD arrived from Amazon UK today. Waiting on Sgt Peppers 50th to arrive tomorrow and then I'll give them a wash. Hoping to spin FotD this weekend at some point. I considered the box, but I don't need it. It takes up waaaaay to much space, and I'd never fill it, so it would just be wasted space. I managed to buy an empty box from the first box set, and I filled it up with all my originals rather than the represses. But after FotD, my interest faded a bit as Bruce left for a bit. faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider FOTD to be the end of the classic period of Iron Maiden. In fact it was one of the best of the classic period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as your second statement: It's a solid album, but it's not even top 5 for me. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Got my euro copies of FotD, X and XI in today. I'm going to try to give them a listen this weekend to see how they sound. Will report back when I do. Stoked to finally be able to snag these babies on black Since I don't really do live albums, this finally gets me all the way through Brave New World. Can't wait to see the next two reissued sets. I've said it before and I'll say it again...now someone needs to do the Blind Guardian back catalogue! (And I'd like to get a clear copy of Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden to go with the rest of them I have.) faaip de oiad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody says that about Neko Case - The Tigers Have Spoken too (and it's true, it's a great album), but I just can't find it in me to really care about having live albums on vinyl. Whenever I run across them for like...$10 or less I sometimes pick them up which is how I've ended up with a few in the ole collection.

Live after Death is the pinnacle. But from the live albums covered under this box, Flight 666 takes the cake. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 UP THE IRONS!!! Glad to see everyone's Maiden is arriving. Any sound reviews yet? Anyone else have tickets for the Iron Maiden / Ghost tour this summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Me and the Mrs have tickets to the O2 Arena show tomorrow here in London. Little bit hesitant about the whole thing after what happened in Manchester this week, but I'm sure it'll be fine. Can't let these idiots ruin a good gig! Gave X Factor and Virtual XI a spin. Sound is good, nothing to complain about really, but man I forgot how mediocre those albums were.... vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 After much longer than expected, finally got around to listening to FOTD (still haven't gotten to the Blaze albums yet). Sounds terrific. Very stoked. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
