The Number of the Beast (album)

The Number of the Beast is an album of Iron Maiden from 1982 . It was the first album recorded with singer Bruce Dickinson and the last with drummer Clive Burr . The album was also the large (international) breakthrough mean for Iron Maiden. On later CD versions of the album is the b-side of the single Run to the Hills, Total Eclipse, added as a bonus track.

The title refers to the number of the beast ( 666 ).

It seems like singer Bruce Dickinson has had no contribution to the lyrics, but due to contractual issues with his old band Samson should he not be named in the credits. In later interviews, Bruce Dickinson said to have contributed to "Children Of The Damned", "The Prisoner" and "Run To The Hills".
