Is there any reason to use quotation marks around the list of track names? This isn't done, for example, in a list of articles in a journal, although it is when those article titles are cited in running text... Tkinias 04:54, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] track name

hey, i stumbled on this http://www.kickedintheface.com/reviews/Iron_Maiden-Number_Of_The_Beast.htm any one know where the extra track came from? (thats right, NOTB has nine tracks here!)

Check below the track listing (here), you have your answer. — Prodigenous Zee - 11:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The extra track "Total Eclipse" was originally a b-side on the single "Run to the Hills"

[edit] Life's Shadow ?

The trivia line :

The song "Hallowed Be Thy Name" contains several verses that were "borrowed" (without giving credit) from a song by Beckett, called "Life's Shadow", from their 1974 selftitled album. Later on, Iron Maiden would cover Beckett's song "A Rainbow's Gold" for their 1984 single "2 Minutes To Midnight". Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood was Beckett's agent before meeting Iron Maiden.

is kind of puzzling ... can't find the song anywhere and nothing proves the "borrowing" as explained here

did smith or harris write the words to the prisoner(or both?
