First off, this is a GREAT buy to start you off on Iron Maiden. It features the band's best hits with Bruce Dickinson at vocals, and a couple of songs with Blaze Bayley. "Aces High", "The Trooper" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" are just some of the great hits on this record that keep me and million other Maiden fans faithful to the band.

The only REALLY BIG problem with this album, which is also the reason why this album doesn't get a 5 star-review, is the absence of the hits from their first two albums, which started them off on their journey! Sure, Running Free" is on there, but hits like "Iron Maiden", "Prowler", and "Sanctuary" (just to name a few) were all classic tracks on the albums that started Maiden off -- "Iron Maiden" and "Killers".

Still, this compilation is a GREAT BUY for those just starting on Iron Maiden, and those who have been fans forever, like me.
