Eddie's first appearance on an Iron Maiden studio album
Official Iron Maiden sew-on patch – Iron Maiden – 10 × 10 cm
⚡ This official Iron Maiden sew-on patch faithfully reproduces the legendary artwork from the band's self-titled debut album, released in 1980. Eddie stands in a dark city street beneath an eerie night sky, his glowing eyes and sinister grin introducing a character who would become one of the greatest icons in rock history.
The vivid colours, intricate details and distinctive urban atmosphere created by Derek Riggs make this artwork one of the defining images of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
The album that launched Iron Maiden 🤘
Released on 14 April 1980, Iron Maiden introduced Steve Harris' band to the world. Featuring classics such as Phantom of the Opera, Running Free, Iron Maiden and, on many editions, Sanctuary, the album became a cornerstone of the NWOBHM movement and laid the foundations for the band's worldwide success.
The artwork that introduced Eddie 🎨
Created by Derek Riggs, this cover marked Eddie's first appearance on an Iron Maiden studio album. His undead features, wild hair and piercing stare instantly established the visual identity that would accompany the band throughout its career.
💡 Did you know?
The original UK edition of Iron Maiden did not include Sanctuary. Originally released as a standalone single, the track was later added to many international editions and reissues, which is why the album's track listing varies between different releases.
