The new release,The Book Of Souls, is Iron Maiden's first release in five years and will be available on vinyl in 55 Tesco Extra stores across the country from Friday 4th September. Tesco's music buyer Michael Mulligan toldMusic Business Worldwide: “In the last year we began selling record decks in our largest stores and initial sales are very encouraging so giving our customers some new vinyl to play on those decks seems like the logical next step.
