Concerning the booklets - I really hope the lyrics in the Skunkworks booklet aren't reversed anymore - I don't want to sit there with a mirror trying to 'decode' the lyrics!

IMO, Skunkworks cover is by far the best. Respect

'**17** Numbers By The Beast' was released in 2002. It was a special promo collection.

Maybe they first thought about a 18 track collection and changed it at the last minute ?

I was pretty sure we had discussed that at Maidenfans, but I can't find anything (even did a Google search).

Cheers

This one was a promo CD released in 1998 (I think there was also a CD-Rom version of it). Can't remember what were the tracks.
