Description
Originally released in 1992, Fear of the Dark marked a pivotal moment for Iron Maiden — their longest album to date at the time, their first double‑LP studio release, and the final record of Bruce Dickinson’s first era with the band.
This 2017 Parlophone reissue brings the album back with the 2015 high‑resolution remasters, pressed across two 180‑gram LPs and housed in a premium gatefold sleeve. The sound is fuller, cleaner, and more dynamic, giving new life to classics like Be Quick or Be Dead, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, and the iconic title track.
Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection
Because Fear of the Dark is essential Maiden — a blend of speed, storytelling, and atmosphere that defined their early ’90s era. This pressing is the definitive modern version: heavyweight vinyl, meticulous remastering, and packaging that honours the original release.
For Crimson Vinyl, it’s a cornerstone heavy‑metal title that belongs in every serious collection.
