FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. Accident Of Birth came out in 1997. This double LP is the limited 2022 BMG 25th anniversary reissue.

Why is the running order different from the CD?
On this double LP the tracks are spread across four sides in a new order; Omega, for example, is already on side B. We list the order as documented for this pressing.

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap, so it carries no Goldmine grade.

Do you have more Bruce Dickinson records?
Yes, for example Bruce Dickinson – Tattooed Millionaire (12" EU 1990). More titles are in our Iron Maiden collection.
