This is the rare cut-to-shape shaped picture disc of IRON MAIDENs Infinite Dreams
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.
