\"Iron<\/a>VCR’s both VHS and Betamax were starting to become more and more common in homes across America. Columbia House saw this as an opportunity. The Columbia House Catalog suddenly had a music video section. I found Iron Maiden’s Video Pieces<\/em> there. I bought this only mine was the Betamax version. I had a really nice Toshiba Beta machine with a wired remote and everything.<\/p>\n

Just thinking about those Beta cassettes that I had really get the clock spinning backwards. Anyway, I really didn’t know what to expect from the Video Pieces <\/em>tape. Columbis House’s description was rather vague. It was Iron Maiden so I bought it. I chuckle at the notion of having to check the VHS or Beta box when ordering. It seems so so so long ago. \u00a0It turned out to be a handful of videos. Let’s see if I can name them all.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Run To The Hills<\/li>\n
  2. The Trooper<\/li>\n
  3. Flight Of Icarus<\/li>\n
  4. The Number Of The Beast<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think that was it. OK now I feel compelled to look it up. Hang on.\u00a0 Yes that was it and if you swap The Trooper <\/em>with The Number Of The Beast<\/em>, you’ll have them in order as they appeared on the tape. So it was a handful if you are missing a finger.<\/p>\n

    What the heck, here they are:<\/p>\n

    Run To The Hills<\/em>
