Relix Reborn

Iron Maiden - Powerslave

Behold Powerslave, the fifth full-length assault from Iron Maiden, cast upon the world in 1984 and steeped in imagery of ancient Egypt, death, and dominion.

This is a US first pressing, hewn at the Jacksonville plant, and includes the original custom inner sleeve with lyrics and band imagery intact. The cover still bears the full grandeur of Derek Riggs’ iconic pharaoh Eddie artwork, a monument to metal myth-making.

The record has been tested—and while much of its power still remains, it beareth a notable warp. As such, Track A1 (“Aces High”) and Track B1 (“Back in the Village”) are not playable.

The remainder of the LP spins through, however, with Maiden’s galloping rhythm section and dual-lead guitar sorcery still intact across most of the album.

Key Features:

• 1984 US 1st Press (Jacksonville) – Original Jacksonville pressing of Powerslave, with matching catalog numbers and plant identifiers.

• Includes Original Inner Sleeve (OIS) – Comes with the custom printed inner featuring full lyrics and Eddie-themed artwork.

• Iconic Metal Artwork – Features the legendary Egyptian-themed cover art by Derek Riggs, a centerpiece in Maiden’s visual legacy.

Key TracKs:

• 2 Minutes to Midnight – A defiant, politically charged anthem built on heavy riffs and blistering solos.

• Powerslave – A theatrical epic sung from the tomb, steeped in mysticism and wrapped in ancient might.

• Rime of the Ancient Mariner – A 13-minute voyage through doom, redemption, and seafaring madness, inspired by Coleridge’s haunting poem.
