The Official Swiss Charts and Music Community: Awards (Iron Maiden; 'The Number of The Beast ')". IFPI Switzerland. Hung Medien . Retrieved 15 November 2011.The album was reissued with a bonus CD containing two songs ("Total Eclipse", and a live version of "Remember Tomorrow") that had been the B-sides of the album's two singles. The US version of the 1995 reissue incorrectly gives Paul Di'Anno a songwriting credit for "Total Eclipse"; the song had actually been written by Harris, Murray, and Burr. I listened to this album to see what the band was like before buying their new album, Senjutsu, too see if it would be worth it or not. The first side was fairly mediocre so I didn't really want to try the B side. But god am I glad I did! The two best songs of the album were on there and sound great! 'The Number of the Beast' and 'Run to the Hills' are now among my favourite heavy metal songs and I can't praise them enough. It's worth the buy just for them. a b c Huey, Steve.
