Iron Maiden announce ‘The Live Collection – Remastered’

IRON MAIDEN have announced a new remastered collection!

Titled The Live Collection – Remastered, the upcoming remastered release continues Parlophone Records‘ reissue series of the IRON MAIDEN catalogue and is scheduled to be released in June this year. The albums included in this release are the live recordings Live After Death and Rock In Rio.

Live After Death was recorded at Long Beach Arena, California in March 1985 on the band’s legendary year-long World Slavery Tour which started in Poland in August 1984. It comprised 187 shows around the globe and turned the band into one of the biggest bands on the planet. The album, which also features additional tracks recorded at London’s Hammersmith Apollo, is widely regarded as one of the greatest live albums of all time.

Rock In Rio was recorded on 19th January 2001, on the final night of the band’s Brave New World Tour. The performance was in front of 100,000 fans and was subsequently broadcast globally on TV.

The Live After Death remaster will also come packaged in a specially designed box featuring a 1:24 scale figurine of band mascot Eddie, and a patch. Rock In Rio will be presented across two CDs in fold-out packaging.

The Live Collection – Remastered is set for release on June 19th via Parlophone Records.
