Iron Maiden • 1979 • The Soundhouse Tapes

«The Soundhouse Tapes» are the very first recordings of Iron Maiden. This record features three of the original four songs from the Spaceward demo tape which was recorded in one 24-hour session on 31st December 1978. (The studio would normally be empty over New Year, and the band was able to haggle for a cheap price). The fourth song of the set, «Strange World», was not included on «The Soundhouse Tapes» because the band was a bit unhappy with its recording quality. Consequently, the Spaceward version of «Strange World» was not released until years later for «Best of the Beast» compilation.
