Phantom of the Opera
Phantom of the Opera is the progressive high point of Iron Maiden's raw 1980 debut -- Dave Murray's humbucker-loaded 'Kossoff' Strat and Dennis Stratton's Les Paul driving cranked 50-watt Marshall Super Leads. Producer Wil Malone left the band to self-produce, and the result is deliberately dry, punchy and underproduced: the dirt is a DiMarzio Super Distortion slamming a Plexi, not a rack of pedals.
