Product Information

Futureal", also by Riggs, Eddie appears as a statue head with his brain exposed. [89] Alternate covers for these two singles are renders of Eddie as he would appear in Ed Hunter. The street sign on the corner where Eddie is standing reads Acacia (partially obscured), a reference to the song "22 Acacia Avenue" from The Number of the Beast (1982). [20] So our version — also similar to Ripley in Alien 3 when she makes the Christ pose — our version transforms into the Avenging Eddie, with Four Apocalyptic Bikers who crash in with perfect timing to the guitar solo. Right at the first notes … I get goosebumps every time.

Eddie is posed next to a street sign which partially reads Acacia. We can only assume it’s a reference to The Number Of The Beast song 22 Acacia Avenue.

From 1980 onwards, the band's Eddie artwork was provided exclusively by Derek Riggs until 1992, when the band decided to accept contributions from other artists, with Smallwood explaining that they "wanted to upgrade Eddie for the '90s. We wanted to take him from this sort of comic-book horror creature and turn him into something a bit more straightforward so that he became even more threatening." [33] Since then, Riggs has contributed much less to the band's artwork, creating part of one studio album, one single and two compilation covers, while the band have employed a number of different artists: Recorded both at Compass Point Studios in Nassau and at the legendary Wisseloord studio in Holland, Somewhere In Time did mark a slight departure for Maiden, in that it featured the use of the then distinctly groundbreaking guitar synthesizer, something that had seldom been a feature in metal prior to that point. Adrian Smith’s songs certainly brought a fresh vibe and an air of radio-friendly oomph to the album too, perfectly complementing Steve’s compositions like instant live favourite Heaven Can Wait and the grandiose Alexander The Great.
