	Nope.  I've talked to people who indicate they are still available
in the UK.

	Yep.  The box set comes with a 48-page book I believe, covering the
Iron Maiden Story.  If anyone is selling just the book, PLEASE E-mail me.
I'm gradually acquiring the cds one by one and am interested in getting the
book too.

	The first two singles (also disc 1 of the 10 years set) are
Running Free and Sanctuary (featuring a very controversial Derek Riggs cover
with "Iron Maiden" Maggie Thatcher).  The next two, I believe, are Killers
and Remember Tomorrow, tho I may be incorrect (don't have disc 2 yet).

	Yeah, but you don't get "Listen with Nicko"  :)

	Singles not in the box set:
	Tailgunner
	Holy Smoke
	Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter
	From Here to Eternity
	Wasting Love
	Be Quick or Be Dead

	See above

>(or any cool maiden stuff you might have)

	I have Running Free/Sanctuary, Aces High/2 Minutes to Midnight, and
Wasted Years/Stranger in a Strange Land.

	BTW, I'm looking for a song called (tentatively) "I Wanna Be Elected"
I know it's sung by Dickinson, but it could be with Maiden, his solo band, or
Samson.  Anyone have a clue where to find this?
