English heavy metal band Iron Maiden issued live album The Book Of Souls: Live Chapter<\/em> worldwide on November 17th, 2017 through Warner Music (BMG in the USA).<\/p>\n

The outing replicates \u2018The Book Of Souls\u2019 original formats and was issued as a limited edition deluxe 2CD hardcase book, a regular 2CD album, a triple black vinyl LP, and digital download in high resolution audio (48khz\/24 bit) including Mastered for iTunes (MFiT) version. A digital download of the concert film was also made available.<\/p>\n

Produced by Tony Newton and Iron Maiden founder member and bass player Steve Harris, the album is based on the 2017 set list and includes six songs from The Book Of Souls<\/em> album, along with other classics and fan favourites.<\/p>\n

Harris commented: \u201cWe spent a huge amount of time working on this as I wanted to get it as close to the Maiden live experience as I possibly could and to represent our fans from different parts of the world. This meant listening to literally hours upon hours of tapes from every show, to select material and construct a sound that would run consistently across the whole album and capture the excitement of a new country like El Salvador alongside such regular favourites as Donington or Wacken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood added: \u201cThe Book Of Souls World Tour was a huge undertaking, not least for Bruce who started the tour singing in public for the very first time since recovering from throat cancer. He also piloted Ed-Force One, upgraded last year from a Boeing 757 to a 747 so we could go further and faster to visit some fantastic cities and fans all round the world. This year continued that excitement bringing us our most successful North American and UK tours ever. It was a very special tour in a great many ways so we felt we wanted to document it for both ourselves and for our fans. Steve has done an incredible job putting together this set from cities around the world and we\u2019ve made sure the deluxe CD will be available in a matching book format to The Book Of Souls<\/em> release.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of all that the release will be celebrated by an event that is a Maiden first: a free live streaming premiere of the concert film, as a thank you to our loyal fans around the world. We hope that the global Maiden community will all enjoy coming together to watch this special event online. Many of you will be in it as there is footage from a whole host of the places we played on this momentous tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
