As usual, constructive criticism is welcome, or just "good job". :)

As with the other Iron Maiden covers I have posted, this was recorded from scratch with my friend Tony Rhodes. I did vocals and mix, and Tony did guitar, drums and bass.

This was originally a B-Side from 1995, with Blaze Bayley on vocals.

That was cool, George. I liked it because, for some reason, your voice still puts an ELP feel on it. I like new and fresh things and this was a new and fresh take on an old song.

The balance of the mix was great, too. I mean it as a compliment but it sounded like it was mastered by a talented engineer. it's easy for us singers to mix "vocal" heavy. It takes discipline to step back and mix for the song, not just for the voice.

Not just good, this sounds professional from every aspect. I enjoyed it more than the original actually as

Blaze's voice always sounds a bit forced to me.

Great work George

Many thanks All. I also got VERY positive feedback from a few other muso sites I posted it.

For those of you who are familiar with the original, or go and listen to it, you will notice a fair few smallish changes to the guitar and vocal lines and harmonies, they arent mistakes, we did that just 'cos we could, and it felt better that way. LOL!

I like singing this sort of thing, but, it doesn't stretch me much technically, so in some ways it feels a bit self indulgant, sort of cheating (I'm not sure how).

The acid test is probably the Iron Maiden fan club site, where we will probably post fairly soon.

I have a strange urge coming on to to re-record all the Blaze Bayley era songs....
