Iron Maiden Re-Releasing ‘The Number Of The Beast’ On Cassette For 40th Anniversary

---

Iron Maiden are going retro to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their classic album The Number of the Beast.

The band is re-releasing the album on cassette tape – yes, cassette tape – featuring remastered tracks and and a redesigned inlay. The tracklist is as follows:

Side 1

01. Invaders
02. Children Of The Damned
03. The Prisoner
04. 22 Acacia Avenue

Side 2

01. The Number Of The Beast
02. Run To The Hills
03. Gangland
04. Hallowed Be Thy Name

Lots of you probably heard NOTB for the first time on cassette, now everyone gets a chance to relive the wonder of having to turn it over halfway through then realising you need to rewind a bit!

TNOTB anniversary cassette drops 18/3 (25/3 ??)

It will be out March 25th – nearly 40 years to the day after The Number of the Beast was originally released on March 22nd, 1982.

Will cassette tapes make a comeback the same way vinyl has?  Do you still own a cassette player?
