Iron Maiden - Running Free (Single) [1980]

I like how in this single cover Eddie's face is obscured because the band did not want him unveiled until the album's release. The running man always looked like Bruce to me (from the 80's). Another curious detail are the several band names spray painted on the wall (Scorpions, Priest, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin) and the word ''Hammers'', of course. :)
 
Saxon - Saxon (1979)
(What a bad album cover)

I kinda like the album cover (not drawn very good though) - it carries the spirit of the 70's album covers and it is perfect for a self-titled album cover (given the band's name).

The album is a good attempt for a debut of the band. Highlights: ''Rainbow Theme''/''Frozen Rainbow'' (awesome song), ''Stallions Of The Highway'' and ''Backs To The Wall''.

*The songs in debut album are songs that the band played for many years. The first true new material was written for the next album, which turns out to be emblematic for the genre.
