More info about the cover:

"The cover of every official Iron Maiden album has featured a zombie called "Eddie." Eddie has been painted by artist Derek Riggs for 20 years. Numbers From The Beast cover art was naturally painted by Riggs and is a must-have for any Maiden fan."

Again from Metal Maniacs, but sounds a bit dodgy to me. And what the hell has happened to Eddie?! Is this Derek Riggs getting Iron Maiden back for ditching him and his wonderful artwork? All in all not a great cover.

I agree, what a horrible cover. [!--emo&-_---][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sleep.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sleep.gif\' /][!--endemo--] Just HORRIBLE.
I dont know if this one is worst than this one [a href=\'http://forum.maidenfans.com/index.php?showtopic=5200&hl=\' target=\'_blank\']stormriders of death... that freaky cover[/a]
 
The artwork was done by Derek Riggs many years ago and was originally destined to a theme park (whose name I can't remember right now).
 
I'm definitely interested in the Ripper cover. That's 'cause I love Ripper.
 
I'm interestesd in Wasted years with George Lynch and Aces High with Jeff Scott Soto. BTW this is finally a tribute that i find a bit interest in... [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]
