Iron Maiden are going retro to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their classic album The Number of the Beast.

The band is re-releasing the album on cassette tape – yes, cassette tape – featuring remastered tracks and and a redesigned inlay.

It will be out March 25th – nearly 40 years to the day after The Number of the Beast was originally released on March 22nd, 1982.

Will cassette tapes make a comeback the same way vinyl has?  Do you still own a cassette player?
