[quote]EMI
are proud to announce the highly anticipated release of the Double Disc
DVD MAIDEN ENGLAND ‘88 on 25 March. Now available for the very first
time on DVD, this live show was filmed across two sold-out nights at
Birmingham N.E.C Arena, UK in November 1988 during the band’s “Seventh
Son Of A Seventh Son World Tour”. Disc one contains the concert which
has been specially upgraded and extended from the existing 1989 longform
VHS release and now includes three previously unreleased encores:
Running Free, Run To The Hills and Sanctuary thereby completing the full
concert with a total running time of 110 minutes . Maiden’s own Film
Producer and Director Andy Matthews went back to the 1988 edit and
painstakingly remastered each shot digitally; colour correcting and
grading to give the image the best possible look from that time. As well
as the VHS stereo sound track by Martin Birch, the band’s producer
between 1981 and 1993, the DVD also includes a brand new 5.1 audio
surround mix by Maiden’s current producer Kevin Shirley. The concert was
meticulously directed and edited by bass player and founder member
Steve Harris, so as to capture the performance from a fans-eye view of
the stage, focusing fully on the music, the elaborate stage production
and the lighting. Add into the mix an electrifying set list and of
course Eddie, and Maiden England now offers a snapshot of a bygone era
in which the band, as they continue to do today, devote their all in
delivering the ultimate live experience for their fans.
Disc two
is an extensive bonus disc featuring an exclusive documentary charting
Part 3 in the History of Iron Maiden. This 40-minute film comprises
recent interviews with the five band members and manager, Rod Smallwood.
Picking up the story in the aftermath of the ‘84/85 World Slavery tour,
this interesting and insightful documentary sees the band speak
candidly about their memories of an exciting and occasionally turbulent
period from which would emerge the albums Somewhere In Time and Seventh
Son Of A Seventh Son. As the Eighties began to draw to a close, so did
another chapter in Maiden’s compelling history.
Other special
extras on the bonus disc include Twelve Wasted Years. First released as a
longform VHS in 1987 and available for the first time on DVD, this
documentary runs for 90 minutes and includes archive interviews and
dynamic live footage from the band’s beginnings in the now legendary
Ruskin Arms pub, via London’s Marquee club and three World Tours. Five
promo videos for the singles from the aforementioned albums are also
featured and have been carefully restored and improved upon from the
original films using the very latest software with the audio remastered
in digital stereo.
Manager Rod Smallwood comments “We've been
busy upgrading this concert footage for a long time, with our in-house
Film Producer and Director Andy Matthews working tirelessly to weave his
magic yet again!. The 1989 VHS video has been largely unavailable for
many years and we know how eagerly our fans have been awaiting the new
version so we wanted to give it the best possible treatment. The current
Maiden England World Tour which continues later this year revisits much
of the set list and production from the initial 1989 VHS release so it
will be interesting to compare just how much has changed in terms of our
2013 live show production, especially with all the advances in modern
technology and the improvements we've been able to make to the set”.
The
Maiden England ‘88 concert soundtrack will also be made available on
2CD album, Limited Edition double vinyl picture disc and Digital
Download formats. The audio had previously only ever been available
before on CD as part of EMI’s 1994 Sound And Vision Series packaged
alongside the VHS, but with two tracks fewer than the video contained.
Can I Play With Madness and Hallowed Be Thy Name were not featured as
there was no space on the 1CD disc. Now with the three encores also
included the double disc offers a total of 5 tracks previously
unavailable on CD making this the first full and complete audio
recording release of this historic tour.
