1979 DEMO

Also known as the SpaceWard demo since its the studio where it was recorded at. These are the very first studio recordings of Iron Maiden. The songs were recorded by the band on New Year's Eve 1978/79. The three tracks - "Prowler", "Invasion" and "Iron Maiden" - appear in rougher form than they would later be heard on the first Iron Maiden album and subsequent singles. The song from the demo - "Strange World" - would also be rerecorded for Iron Maiden. This was later released on vinyl called The Soundhouse Tapes without the song Strange World.
