Eddie's Archive
Eddie's Archive is an Iron Maiden box set, issued through EMI in 2002 and tagged here as an EP. It arrives in an embossed metal casket bearing the face of the band's mascot, Eddie, and holds three double CDs, an updated Iron Maiden family tree and a shot glass. The tree revises the one that first came with A Real Dead One in 1993.
It was made with the collector in mind, and Steve Harris said the band packaged it lavishly out of pride in their legacy and respect for fans. Mark Wilkinson designed the box as a nod to the group's 25th anniversary, with tin standing in for silver, and he also drew the cover of one disc, Best of the 'B' Sides. The first run was limited, with numbered family trees and a blue inlay. A later pressing switched to a red inlay and unnumbered trees.
