I'm preferential to this - the track list looks pretty good, actually, should be a nice set to have.

Ahhh...another greatest hits collection....

I want Live After Death on DVD!!!!

I ain`t crazy about "Greatest hits" either.

I don`t know if "Edward the great" was released in the US but that tracklist looks like an expanded version of that album.

Even "Best of the Beast" didn`t fit all the good stuff on 2 CDs and this one looks even more watered down.

I also got "Ed hunter" which was also a good collection AND you got a game with it.

What they should do is release a "Metalogy" style box set with 4 CDs, and maybe a DVD, with all the classics and some rare live/alternate takes.

I`d buy that.

I don`t mind countless live albums but how many times are you expected to buy the same versions of the same old songs?

Hey, do any of you remeber the set called 'Eddies Head'? It was an actual mannequin of his head with lights and all that opens up to all
the Maiden CD's. Kinda cool and it was reasonably priced, too! I shoulda bagged that when I had the chance unless it's still available.

[Vinnie Velvet]

Maybe they want to beat KISS' record for the most hits compilations!

D'you know Aerosmith have more compilations albums than studio albums now?
