Iron Maiden Sanctuary Metal For Muthas Recorded November 1979 / Released 1980 This rare compilation album contained only the second released recording of Iron Maiden's material and also included various other NWOBHM bands during the height of the movements exposure. The songs were recorded at EMI Manchester Square in November 1979, during which time Tony Parsons was a member of the band. However it is not 100% certain if he is actually on these recordings. While Metal For Muthas was not earth-shattering in its effect on the music industry of that time, it was still an important stepping-stone for Iron Maiden. At the end of the Metal For Muthas tour, Maiden released their first self-titled studio album, which went straight to number four and sold over 50,000copies. Metal For Muthas may have had a significant impact in preparing the way for the new album and Iron Maiden. Paul DiAnno - Vocals Steve Harris - Bass Dave Murray - Guitar Tony Parsons - Guitar Doug Sampson - Drums
