About the album

Recorded at Kingsway Studios in London in January 1980, largely produced by the band themselves in just thirteen days, the debut captures Steve Harris, Paul Di'Anno, Dave Murray, Dennis Stratton and Clive Burr at their rawest and hungriest.

"Running Free" is a punky, singalong anthem, "Phantom of the Opera" is a seven-minute epic, "Prowler" opens at full speed, and the title track is a pure, galloping classic. This edition uses the 2015 remaster.

The debut that introduced the galloping riffs and twin guitars. Running free since 1980.
