About the Album
Iron Maiden, released on 14 April 1980, is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It was released by EMI in the UK, and a few months later in the U.S., originally on Harvest/Capitol Records and subsequently Sanctuary Records/Columbia Records. The U.S. release also included the song “Sanctuary”, only released in the UK as a single. In 1998, along with the rest of the band’s pre-X Factor releases, Iron Maiden was remastered with “Sanctuary” added in all territories.
Although Iron Maiden have since criticised the quality of the album’s production, the release was met with critical and commercial acclaim, debuting at number 4 in the UK Albums Chart as well as achieving prominence for the band in mainland Europe.
