1. INTRODUCTION
For the third time now, we get a load of Iron Maiden covers in this series
of tribute albums named Best Of The Fans. This time I was managing the
project on my own, but as you can see Dragon has of course contributed to
the disk. The original idea of Best Of The Fans was his, and he is the
founder of the project.
This time we have modules from nine of Maidens eleven studio albums,
the only left out are No Prayer For The Dying and The X-Factor. For the
first time we hear Iron Maiden modules with vocals, the modules with real
singing are Be Quick Or Be Dead, Moonchild and The Clansman.
The filesize on this disk is bigger than the two previous disks together,
I hope you don't get scared by that and understands this only means an
increase in quality.
Last words, don't ask me if there will be another Best Of The Fans, the
time will show. Three tributes to band shows how good Iron Maiden are in
comparison to other bands covered on the scene. Maybe there will be a
fourth tribute with a new concept, but not in the near future. So, until
the next time, have a good sin...

3. PLAYERS
My advice is to use the latest version of Modplug Player which can play
all the modules well, some of the songs are best played in the tracker
they are made, an exception is Moonchild which is an IT module but all
vocals are added in Modplug tracker because of the number of samples,
in other words don't try to load it in Impulse Tracker or Winamp.
