21.50 UK time on YouTube, I think:

Anyone got a suggestion as to how the audio from the Stranger video could suffer from so much clipping? Does YouTube's compression ever create this much clipping? I'm surprised - even for Maiden's recent standards - that someone thought that sounded good enough to upload.

I'd appreciate a link too. Thanks!

No credit for me, thank you. Phantom Creations is the only person due credit as they transferred the tape to DVD when physical trading was a thing…!

I’ve got it and can upload it later today.

Indeed. Bruce notices a Swedish journalist in the audience of the Wroclaw gig, the fourth show of the tour (12/08/84).

Perhaps the book you mention is the Iron Maiden Companion by Gamba and Visintini? https://tshirtslayer.com/other-collectable/iron-maiden-companion-book http://www.ironmaidenbooks.com/

Seems legit to me. Surely the real question is whether the whole song was recorded and is just missing from that particular reel-to-reel tape, or it was it never recorded?

I'm more likely to skip Charlotte the Harlot than Mother Russia if either came on shuffle in the company of non-Maiden friends... Make of that what you will!

I’ve been wondering that too…

Ask the Power Trip organisers…

You get post before 8am? Impressive!

Thanks for explaining. I followed Blaze up until Blood and Belief and then again for the Trilogy (and beyond)...I didn't follow the middle bit at all. I've since listened to The Man Who Would Not Die and Promise and Terror a few times. I quite like them and especially on the former, I think...

What was the debacle?

I’d love to get an answer to that question. I suppose it there’s at least two questions there: 1) how did it happen in the first place (surely ‘recording hot’ isn’t a complete explanation?), and 2) why wasn’t it removed after the recording? The worst possible answer is that people simply don’t...
