Available with Vinyl records London. New Cassettes Bruce Dickinson It’s impossible to dislike Bruce Dickinson. He might be a platinumselling rock star, but he’s as confused and immature as the rest of us. He doesn’t know why he’s here, not really, beyond loving music. He quitIron Maidenand learnt to fly, because he felt he had to earn respect. He was locked into a cycle of selfmutilation. He recorded an album with legendary grunge producer Jack Endino. He had massive hits in South America. He nicked the guitarist fromA Tribe of Gypsies, and let go when he had to. He had three days to write a song to satisfy Mercury Records in the US, and all he had to go on was a cassette of Aerosmith’sRocksshoved under a hotel door. He was the perfect choice to write music for theNightmare on Elm Streetmoviebut in the excitement of producing a No.1 hit, the original version of “Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter” got suppressed. As far as the hits go, they’re all here on this midcareer retrospective, from the brutal “Darkside of Aquarius” to “Accident of Birth” to the nostalgic “Born in ’58”.The Best of Bruce Dickinsonit does what it says on the tin.Everett True.
