In 1996 Strange World (The Soundhouse Tapes version) were included on 2CD edition and 4LP vinyl box set of Best of the Beast compilation. When Iron Maiden's discography was reissued by Metal-Is, they came with stickers that buyers could send in to Metal-Is along with $6.66, and receive a CD copy of The Soundhouse Tapes. This version was limited to 666 copies The Soundhouse Tapes was a critical element of Iron Maiden's future success, and was instrumental in eventually acquiring a record contract with EMI. It was released independently on the Rock Hard Records label, a name coined from a Rod Smallwood: idea "If it ain't Rock Hard, it ain't worth a fuck." #ironmaiden #thesoundhousetapes #eps #heavymetal #heavymetalsongs #metal #metalfans #rock #metalhead #metalvideos #rocknroll
