The First Ten Years

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The First Ten Years is a series of 10 cds and double 12" singles by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released between February 24 and April 28 1990, to commemorate Iron Maiden's first ten years of releasing singles.

Each cd/double 12" contains two of Iron Maiden's singles, including the b-sides. In addition, each contained a bonus track, a part in the "Listen With Nicko" series, in which drummer Nicko McBrain tells about the songs on the discs, in his own humorous way. Each part in the series included a special voucher. If you collected all ten vouchers, you could order a special box in which you could store the cds or vinyls. Although the individual cds and vinyls are nowadays still fairly easy to come by, the boxes are a bit harder to find..

In addition to the cds and vinyls, Iron Maiden also released The First Ten Years: The Videos on VHS videotape and laserdisc. It contains 16 videoclips the band had made up to that point.
