"Infinite Dreams" Album Description:

Iron Maiden, the masters of heavy metal theatricality, have never shied away from pushing boundaries with their music and merchandise. In 1989, they unveiled a special release for their live single "Infinite Dreams" – a cut-to-shape shaped vinyl picture disc. This eye-catching format transformed the record itself into a piece of Iron Maiden memorabilia.

More Than Just Music

The "Infinite Dreams" picture disc broke the mold of traditional vinyl releases. It featured a striking image of Eddie the Head, Iron Maiden's iconic mascot, astride a motorcycle. The vinyl was meticulously cut to match Eddie's silhouette, giving the disc a dynamic and visually arresting quality. This wasn't just about listening to music; it was about owning a piece of Iron Maiden artwork.

A Snapshot of Maiden Mania

Like the standard 12" single , the picture disc version of "Infinite Dreams" was drawn from the legendary "Maiden England" concert video. It captures the band's live energy during their epic "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" tour, with a fiery rendition of the title track backed by the classic "Killers." The picture disc adds another layer of visual excitement to this live experience.

A Collector's Gem

Shaped picture discs were popular in the 1980s, but Iron Maiden's version stands out. The Eddie the Head design is instantly recognizable, and the format reflects the band's larger-than-life stage persona. The limited-edition nature of this release makes it a highly sought-after item for Iron Maiden collectors and fans of unique music memorabilia.

    Band-members, Musicians and Performers
  • Bruce Dickinson vocals
  • Bruce Dickinson – Vocals Bruce Dickinson, born August 1958, is the powerhouse vocalist who propelled Iron Maiden to legendary status. Joining the band in 1981, his operatic range, sharp phrasing, and commanding stage presence reshaped the group’s sound and ambition, defining era-classic albums like The Number of the Beast and Powerslave. Beyond Maiden, he built a parallel career as a solo artist, commercial pilot, author, and broadcaster, giving his legacy a reach that stretches well beyond heavy metal.
  • Dave Murray guitar
  • Dave Murray – Guitar Dave Murray, born 1956, is the melodic mastermind behind Iron Maiden’s signature twin-guitar attack. A founding member, his fluid, expressive solos and perfectly locked harmonized leads have shaped the band’s sound since 1975. His playing blends bluesy phrasing with precision and restraint, never flashy for its own sake, always serving the song. That balance made him a quiet but essential pillar of heavy metal guitar.
  • Adrian Smith guitar, backing vocals
  • Adrian Smith – Guitarist, Songwriter Adrian Smith is one of those players I always associate with Iron Maiden’s classic sound and its later revival. Joining in 1980, leaving in 1990, and returning in 1999, his melodic solos and sharp songwriting helped define albums from The Number of the Beast to Brave New World and beyond.
  • Steve Harris bass guitar, backing vocals
  • Steve Harris – Bass, Songwriter Steve Harris, born 1956, is the driving force behind Iron Maiden’s galloping bass lines and long-form, story-heavy songwriting. Founding the band in 1975, he defined their identity with ambitious compositions that mixed punk urgency, progressive structure, and pure metal muscle. Anthems like The Trooper and Hallowed Be Thy Name carry his fingerprints all over them, making him one of NWOBHM’s most influential architects.
  • Nicko McBrain drums
  • Nicko McBrain – Drums Nicko McBrain, born 1952, is the powerhouse drummer who has driven Iron Maiden’s thunderous engine since joining in 1982. His playing combines brute force with swing and pinpoint timing, giving albums like The Number of the Beast and Powerslave their unstoppable momentum. Before Maiden, his work with Trust and the Pat Travers Band sharpened his style, culminating in a career that redefined metal drumming.
