Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast

[YaQuin]

While recently browsing John Harp's Gold CD Realm for DCC gold cd releases I noticed that Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast is listed just after Queensryche Empire. Was this cd actually ever released? I cannot seem to find it at any of the online cd stores or on eBay. Thanks.

Nope, not released. :(

We couldn't get the tape, and we didn't want to wait 7 years like we did for "Aqualung". :(

Steve,are these difficulties in acquiring the tapes that" you" want not what they want to give you more or less because of lawyers or artists just being difficult.I can see why you didn't want to go thru' another long wait for 2 bloody tapes no matter who they are,life is too short.
What about the instance where tapes are not stored in America(i.e TNNOTB),are all foreign affiliates of record companies just as problematic or is this just in the case of EMI U.K. because they fear sending their tapes across the ocean.
