Sanctuary (Iron Maiden song)

[3] Although the compilation was panned in Sounds, Iron Maiden's songs were praised, with their contributions being described as "raucous heavy metal/punk crossovers and tantalising tasters for their own forthcoming album."[6] The b-side includes two live songs recorded at the Marquee Club in London on 3 April 1980 – "Drifter" (which would feature on the band's next album, Killers) and a cover of Montrose's "I've Got the Fire".[8] The cover art caused controversy for the band as it depicted their mascot, Eddie, wielding a knife while crouching over the corpse of then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher."[9] The attempt to gain coverage proved successful, with the Daily Mirror running a story about the single, as well as publishing the uncensored artwork, on 20 May under the headline: "It's murder!"[10] The Daily Record also published an article which deemed the cover "horrific," as well as included interviews with Young Scottish Conservatives who criticised the artwork for being "in very bad taste.
