The Dance of Death album was released as a DVD audio disc in 2004, including 5.1 mixes of each song.

I particularly like Face in the Sand and the title track on that one.

Although you can call this an album, it is by no means a regular album. These alternative mixes are not on the/a normal album.

My Generation and Doctor, Doctor came out on the Lord of the Flies single first. That is no inferior quality, so I'd list that as (most important) source.


I have a Man on the Edge single featuring both non album songs plus Edge of Darkness, without an interview. Not CD 1 or 2, just a CD with these 4 songs on it. Came out on the earliest release date of this single, perhaps or probably earlier than the CD 1 and CD 2 thing, although this could differ per region(?).

I had (or still have?) the same CD, plus the 2 CD version. The single CD version was sold to me as a "Dutch single" back in the day, so that may clear it up.
 
I'm pretty sure More Tea Vicar was part of Wildest Dreams not Rainmaker, at least initially.. I know because I bought the CD single back then.

Yeah a lot of the European versions of the CD singles from that era are like that.

Don't know if you want to be that pedantic but the Dutch CD Single of BQOBD has Space Station No. 5 without Bayswater Ain't a Bad Place to Be as a hidden track.

From Here to Eternity is a "Triumph Mix" on the CD single.

Wasting Love has an edited version on the CD single.

Angel and the Gambler has an edit on the CD Single and an even shorter edit on the US Promo, which is the video track without SFX

There's unmastered versions of the first 3 tracks of Vritual XI on the promo "An Introduction to Virtual XI" and the Clansman on the Metal Hammer CD killing cuts 5.

The Number of the Beast has a Priceless Edit on the re-released promo.

The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg has an edited Rock Club Mix on the promo

Final Frontier is a standalone track on the promo

Coming Home has an edit on the promo

There's a different mix of Women in Uniform on the 2014 7 inch re-release.

There's probably a few more of these as well have slipped my mind

Didn't Maiden make a contribution to a charity LP in the 80's? I know there was something on Rock Aid Armenia, but my vinyl collection is currently inaccessible, so I can't check.
 
Bruce sings a verse on Rock Aid Armenia's version of Smoke on the Water. There was also a "supergroup" that featured Nicko that released a single about 15 years ago called Who Cares, and that was also to raise money for Rock Aid Armenia.

Adrian and Dave played on a charity single called Stars that was for Hearing Aid.

Steve and Nicko played on a charity single also featuring Roger Daltry and tennis stars John McEnroe and Pat Cash covering Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll.

Hmm, I bought my single in the Netherlands and it does have both on it.
Maybe we need some product numbers to see what we are talking about.

Any ideas what Triumph Mix means?

Wasting Love has an edited version on the CD single.
Thanks - didn't realise that. I'll add it!

You don't happen to have the US Promo do you? I'm missing that edit and the SFX version isn't very fun to listen to.

There's unmastered versions of the first 3 tracks of Vritual XI on the promo "An Introduction to Virtual XI" and the Clansman on the Metal Hammer CD killing cuts 5.
I have the promo but it's in storage. Do you remember if they sound very different?

The Number of the Beast has a Priceless Edit on the re-released promo.
I remember the excitement - and subsequent disappointment - when that was announced! Not sure it's worth adding to the list...

The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg has an edited Rock Club Mix on the promo
Great, thanks. I'll add that one.

Final Frontier is a standalone track on the promo
I didn't know that. I made my own edit for my digital collection - I don't like Satellite 15.

Coming Home has an edit on the promo
I also didn't know that. Any ideas what the difference is?

There's a different mix of Women in Uniform on the 2014 7 inch re-release.
Do you know why?

Thanks so much for engaging in this.

I'll check mine later, I may have mixed it up, maybe it's the UK one that only has Space Station, one of them has it and the other doesn't.
