Iron Maiden / Complete Albums Collection
This new Iron Maiden Complete Albums Collection 1980-88 isn’t quite complete – it contains the first three albums (Iron Maiden, Killers, and The Number Of The Beast) but gives you space to fill up the box with further 180g vinyl reissues.

Limited 14 x 7″ vinyl box set released to tie-in with Elaine Constantine’s acclaimed Northern Soul movie. Comes with a 60-page hardback-bound book with all the content residing in a sturdy outer box.
Various Artists / 12″/80s (remix compilations)

Just a correction to info. above on the 2nd Disc of U2’s “Songs Of Innocence”
The 2nd CD on the delux edition actually has a track listing of 6 tracks, however, one of those tracks is called “Accoustic session” which is over 18 minutes long, and contains 5 accoustic versions of the CD 1 album tracks, therefore there are really 11 tracks in total on the 2nd CD, including the 5 accoustic tracks which are listed as 1 track.
Quick note Paul, the 12″ 80s sets are three-disc sets not two-disc . Definitely concur that they are appealing.
I’ll be buying the new U2 album since I seem to be one of the few without an i-tunes account.
Not having an Apple products, I don’t see the point in having an i-tunes account.
