Read this: The story behind Iron Maiden's debut album
Featuring Paul Di'Anno on vocals, Steve Harris on bass and backing vocals, Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton on guitars and Clive Burr on drums, the eight-track album reached Number Four in the UK album charts, and includes many live set staples still to this day.
“We didn’t expect it to go in that high,” Steve later told Kerrang! of the album's chart success. “At first I thought someone had made a mistake… I made them go and check twice and even then I still couldn’t quite believe it.”
