EDDIE'S HEAD BOX SET (1998) EMI

I bought this box set for the amount of 1000 Norwegian Kroner (about $200) because the store couldn't get rid of their last 2 boxes! I've seen it in catalogues as high as 3500 Kroner (ca. $700), so I'm really pleased! Well, it contains all 12 Iron Maiden releases, from 'Iron Maiden' to 'Live at Donington', in remastered editions. Every CD comes with original art-work, + extensive liner-notes, lyrics, new & old pictures etc. Each disc also has a CD-ROM track, with discographies, history, Eddie-pictures and lots more from the Iron Maiden-era the album was originally released. There is even a 'bonus-disc' called 'In Profile' (see write-up below), with interviews of the band. To top it all of, every box-set comes with a signed, numbered certificate of authenticity. A really killer box-set, limited to 25,000 copies. You can read a write-up on the contents of this box by clicking on the covers below.
