Interesting. They didn't even bother to change the cover since their last "project" :bigsmile:

Dennis Wilcock was the one who wrote Charlotte, not Harris. For the IM album, it was probably Harris who adjusted part of the lyrics but that was it. Steve Harris: "That's really Dave's song. I would have been proud to say that I'd written it. I like playing it live because it was something a...

Pictures with drummer Phil Greenhouse in BLAZE are rare, so I'm adding my contribution here :)

Final tour with John Slater: This was Blaze's final tour with guitarist John Slater. John Slater played the warm-up gigs from 2004.03.18 and 2004.03.19. Oliver Palotai had already replaced Slater in the band, but as he had other commitments, Slater still played.

Full Setlist (as performed on April 5, 2003, at Moinho São Roque, Curitiba, Brazil) This gig actually happened on April 5, 2002. Please check the 2003 tour dates.

Partly true, as far as I can see. According to later interviews, not only he was sacked but would certainly have continued with Maiden. If he was still optimistic at this stage of the interview, he soon wouldn't. Two completely different realities. While Maiden had already embarked on world...

Loopy believed it could be from another version with Adrian. That would be fantastic, but giving the "stressful" evidences it's very likely that Maiden would never want to revisit it. Paul's different vocals parts might be from another take. This is one tape Loopy presented (i think there's...

Damn I really can't remember that one! Now i don't know if I hate myself for letting it scape or if I love my "new Maiden song" :D Thanks anyway.

Good question. The only "Trooper" versions i know from this single are the studio version and the live one in Dortmund 2003.

I think they just decided it would be cool to have the same "M" as in the back cover.

Double CDs in general weren't produced until the early 90s.

Thanks for the feedback. Seems this alt. mix is exclusive of the 2014 reissue. And goes on to say that Tony Platt is the producer (Discogs). He never did another session or worked with another lineup.

It seems the single was not recorded w/ Nicko, but by the first lineup. Sometimes you have to go to another source to avoid speculations. Not nice to know, but that's it and there's the correct picture in the video. Sorry.
