Founded on a warp-speed take on glam’s glitterbeat, Running Free is Maiden’s early, Paul Di’Anno-fronted years in miniature.

Reviews

Iron Maiden - 1996 - Best Of The Beast(CD1) (320kbps)/ 08 - Iron Maiden - Holy Smoke - Best Of The Beast(CD1) - 320kbps.mp3 As an attempt to include bits and bytes from each of the Maiden releases of note up to its time of release, the Best of the Beast does not fall completely on its ass, even though I rue the day we ever consider anything from the 1995-1999 era anything near the band's 'best'. It's nice to have a new song, but "Virus" is like trying to tap water from a dry desert well. The Soundhouse Tapes likewise do little to compel ownership of this compilation, and excluding a few live versions on the first disc...you've already got everything else. In my opinion, save yourself the time and trouble and just watch the "Virus" video online to sate your curiosity...that should be all you require to turn your nose up at this easily ignored profit margin.

The song selection thus gives an interesting insight into Harris’ own view of his band. Alderslade, Merlin (6 December 2012).
