The album spent three weeks on the UK chart, and was promptly followed by Live at Donington.
When Maiden rereleased all of their pre-The X Factor albums in 1998, this album was combined with A Real Live One to form the two-disc A Real Live Dead One.
The cover is by long-time Maiden artist Derek Riggs, and depicts Eddie as a disc jockey in Hell.
"Hallowed Be Thy Name" was released as a single and hit No.9 on UK singles chart.
