Iron Maiden Week! Powerslave is the fifth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 3 September 1984 on EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in North America. It was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia Records in the US in 2002. It is notable for its Ancient Egyptian theme displayed in the cover artwork, lifted from the title track, which was carried over to the albums supporting tour. The World Slavery Tour began in Warsaw, Poland on 9 August 1984, and is widely regarded as being the bands longest and most arduous to date, and lead to the live album Live After Death. The release also contains a musical re-telling of Samuel Taylor Coleridges The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which uses pieces of the original poem as lyrics and is, furthermore, Iron Maidens longest song to date (at thirteen minutes and 40 seconds in length). Powerslave is also notable as being the bands first album to feature the same lineup as the previous one, which would remain intact for two further studio releases. 2 Minutes to Midnight and Aces High were released as singles. - From Wikipedia - https://youtube/watch?v=w4k0A-4wz84
