Killers (The Studio Collection – Remastered)
The Studio Collection – Remastered!
‘Killers’ is the sophomore album by British metal band Iron Maiden, originally released on 2 February 1981 in the UK, and 6 June 1981 in the US. The album was their first with guitarist Adrian Smith and their last with vocalist Paul Di’Anno.
This was also the first Iron Maiden album made with veteran producer Martin Birch, who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after ‘Fear of the Dark’ in 1992.
Parlophone Records will continue their reissues series of the Iron Maiden catalogue with The Studio Collection – Remastered, covering the band’s sixteen-strong studio albums across their career to date.
Following on from 2014/2017’s black vinyl releases, The Studio Collection – Remastered will be released on the Digipak CD format, with the track listing matching the original UK releases. The recordings are taken from the same remasters as the 2015 hi-res digital releases.
Maiden founding member and bassist Steve Harris says, “We’ve wanted to revisit these for a long time and I was delighted with the remastering we did in 2015. I thought it was the best that our albums have ever sounded and it was only right that we made them available on CD now too.”
