"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 and Musicians on: IRON MAIDEN Infinite Dreams Cut To Shape Shaped Picture Disc
    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

    Maiden’s calm killer: smooth leads, twin-guitar harmony for days, and that melodic bite that makes the “gallop” feel cinematic instead of chaotic.

    Dave Murray (born 23 December 1956, Edmonton, Middlesex, England) is one of the defining lead guitar voices of heavy metal, and in my book he’s the melodic “second spine” of Iron Maiden. His timeline with the band starts early: joining in 1976, getting briefly pushed out in 1977, then returning in 1978 and staying locked in ever since—making him one of the longest-serving members in the whole Maiden saga. During that 1977 gap he spent around six months with Urchin (Adrian Smith’s band), which is a fun little historical glitch in the matrix if you like your Maiden lore messy and human. Beyond the main band, his most notable “outside the mothership” credit is the all-star charity metal project Hear ’n Aid (1985), because apparently even guitar lifers sometimes leave the bunker to do side quests.

  • 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 Guitar, Songwriter

    Iron Maiden’s engine room: galloping bass lines, history-nerd lyrics, and “captain of the ship” energy baked into every riff.

    Steve Harris (born 12 March 1956, Leytonstone, England) is the rare bassist who doesn’t just hold the floor—he draws the whole blueprint. In my book, he’s the founder and primary songwriter who’s kept Iron Maiden on its rails from 1975–present, with that instantly recognizable “gallop” driving huge chunks of the catalogue. The pre-Maiden grind matters too: first band days in Influence/Gypsy’s Kiss (1973–1974, including a documented gig run in 1974), then the older, blues-leaning Smiler period (1974–1975) where his more ambitious writing basically forced the next step: forming Maiden. Outside the mothership, he’s fronted his own hard-rock outlet British Lion (2012–present), a project that grew out of connections going back to the early 1990s and finally hit the world as his solo debut in 2012.

  • 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.
