Invasion Of Rarities is a unofficial compliation of rare material by the british heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released in 1994. It is notable for its inclusion of The Soundhouse Tapes, The EP Live+1, Tracks from their first Japanese tour and other rare material. There is an error in the track listings regarding tracks 17 and 18. Initial pressings of the 1980 compilation album "Axe Attack" included an unreleased demo of "Running Free" (track 18). "Holy Smoke" (track 17) was not included on "Axe Attack", and was not released until 1990, where it appeared on the "No Prayer for the Dying" album.
