Like previous compilations, the inclusion of cuts like \"Run to the Hills,\" \"Number of the Beast,\" \"2 Minutes to Midnight,\" and \"The Trooper\" is a no-brainer, and great album tracks like \"Powerslave\" and \"Evil That Men Do\" make for a fun listen, but one has to question the validity of populating a greatest-hits collection with four tracks culled from a live performance. Love them or hate them, when it comes to live albums, 1985's Live After Death is one of the better ones out there, and there's no denying the electricity that runs through \"Aces High\" and \"Wrathchild,\" but why deny first-time listeners the fine studio versions of both, especially Paul Di'Anno's \"Phantom of the Opera\" and \"Iron Maiden?\" Also, where are all of the tracks from 1983's landmark Piece of Mind album? For such a beloved metal institution, there are precious few quality retrospectives and a whole bunch of merely adequate ones, guess which camp Somewhere Back in Time falls into?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Churchill's Speech  \u003cbr\u003eA2        Aces High (Live)\u003cbr\u003eA3        2 Minutes To Midnight\u003cbr\u003eA4        The Trooper\u003cbr\u003eB1        Wasted Years\u003cbr\u003eB2        Children Of The Damned\u003cbr\u003eB3        The Number Of The Beast\u003cbr\u003eB4        Run To The Hills\u003cbr\u003eC1        Phantom Of The Opera (Live)\u003cbr\u003eC2        The Evil That Men Do\u003cbr\u003eC3        Wrathchild (Live)\u003cbr\u003eC4        Can I Play With Madness\u003cbr\u003eD1        Powerslave\u003cbr\u003eD2        Hallowed Be Thy Name\u003cbr\u003eD3        Iron Maiden (Live)METAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analog Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45220765008072,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0348\/8505\/files\/919rvYlpgxL._SL1500.jpg?v=1790192051","url":"https:\/\/www.analogrecordshop.com\/products\/iron-maiden-somewhere-back-in-time-the-best-of-1980-1989","provider":"Analog Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
