Breakdown of the tracks
"King of Twilight"
Source: This is a studio cover of a song originally by the progressive rock band Nektar.
Rarity: At the time of its release in 1984, this was a rare track, available only on the single. Over time, its rarity has diminished. It has since been compiled on the 1995 release The Best of the B-Sides and as a bonus track on later CD versions of Powerslave, making it accessible to most fans. However, the original vinyl recording remains a unique piece for collectors.
"The Number of the Beast" (Live)
Source: This is a live recording from Iron Maiden's show in Dortmund, Germany, on December 18, 1983.
Rarity: This particular live version is scarce. While Iron Maiden has released many live recordings of "The Number of the Beast," this specific version from the 1983 show was a single-only release. The original 12" picture disc is the definitive source for this version, and it has not been widely re-released on other official albums.
"Aces High"
Source: This is the studio version of the song from the 1984 album Powerslave.
Rarity: The song itself is very common, but the vinyl mastering on this particular 45 RPM 12-inch single is noted for its high-quality sound. Some audiophile collectors report that this version offers better dynamics and fidelity than the album version, making the recording itself a desirable variant. I am the only owner of this record and I never played it it’s a beautiful copy not a mark on it anywhere.
