The best compilation ever released on Earth.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

It was the first Maiden album that I ever owned. Dad brought the single CD version home one day after I had expressed an interest in Maiden. I heard them on the game Carmageddon 2. This was in 1998 and it was a big deal for me at the time. Dad never bought CDs for us. We were not tight on money, but Dad was the only one who worked so he had to spend his money wisely.

I wore out my copy but I recently found a perfect condition copy in my local charity shop. I spun it a few times recently. It’s still the ultimate Maiden compilation. From Fear to Eternity is a close second though.
