Powerslave is the fifth studio album by Iron Maiden, originally released in 1984 and produced by Martin Birch. It was the first album recorded by the line-up that remained unchanged at that point: Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Nicko McBrain. The singles 2 Minutes to Midnight, about the arms industry and the threat of nuclear war, and Aces High, about the Battle of Britain, are among the band's best-known songs. The album closes with Rime of the Ancient Mariner, an epic composition of around fourteen minutes inspired by the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Derek Riggs' cover art shows mascot Eddie as an Egyptian pharaoh. To promote the album Iron Maiden toured the world with the World Slavery Tour, a run of roughly 190 shows that later formed the basis for the live album Live After Death.

This edition is an LP on black vinyl.
