Iron Maiden reissue Somewhere In Time on 4 December

Iron Maiden will reissue Somewhere In Time on limited Oxblood colour vinyl on 4 December 2026. The edition uses remastered audio and forms part of the band’s 40th anniversary plans.

Iron Maiden’s Oxblood edition arrives on 4 December

The release is a physical reissue of the band’s sixth studio album in a limited colour-vinyl format. The band’s official anniversary announcement confirms the 4 December 2026 release date and the Oxblood finish. A special Amazon variant includes an exclusive full sleeve poster.

How Somewhere In Time connects to Iron Maiden’s anniversary

As a British heavy metal band, Iron Maiden have built a catalogue that includes the album’s songs and distinctive production. The official announcement links the reissue to songs the band have included in their live set, including Wasted Years, Caught Somewhere In Time, Stranger In A Strange Land, Heaven Can Wait and Alexander The Great.

That connection gives the December release a direct link to one studio album, while the separate box set covers the wider early catalogue.

The wider anniversary collection follows on 11 December

The same announcement also sets 11 December 2026 for the 50th Anniversary Studio Album Collection, Part One. It brings together the first nine studio albums in a vinyl box-set with designed artwork and an anniversary poster.

The set includes Iron Maiden, Killers, The Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind and Powerslave. It continues with Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, No Prayer For The Dying and Fear Of The Dark, which occupies two LPs. A German anniversary overview also places the box set on 11 December 2026.
