Sanctuary is the second single from Iron Maiden´s debut album and it´s a more worthy purchase than Running Free IMO. Well that´s if you only have the original LP version of the debut like me because the CD versions I have seen includes Sanctuary on the tracklist.

Sanctuary is a real Iron Maiden rocker and a great one that is. In addition to Sanctuary this single has two live songs recorded at the Marquee in London sometime in 1980. Drifter is done in an audience participation mode where the crowd sings along and I´ve got the Fire which is a real rocker too is done with conviction. There is a real powerful and raw energy in the live songs allthough the sound quality isn´t the best.

Even though I think this is a much better purchase than the Running Free single it´s still a fan thing and I´ll rate Sanctuary 2 stars. Of course if you´re a fan this is still a very worthy purchase.
