Re-recorded trailer for 2021 launch. In the beginning of 1990, Iron Maiden started an interesting project, re-releasing all the singles from their first 10 years with EMI Records. Each week they released a record containing two reissued singles with their respective b-sides, plus a new commentary track. At the end of the 10th week, you’d be able to send away for a box to house this limited edition series, called The First Ten Years. These were only released in the UK, but when my friends and I would track these down at record shows and shops that sold imports, it was really special. These releases were hugely influential, coming along right as we were starting bands, and I was always disappointed that they never updated the series. So now, over 30 years later, as the band enters their fifth decade of recording, I’m going to do my best to revive and expand the project, all in honor of my late friend, Basher.
