“The Clairvoyant” is the title track of the live single, from the album which was being toured on at the time, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. This was supported by two other songs of which we had no previous live recording of, which makes the single all the more worthwhile. “The Prisoner” from The Number of the Beast is a beauty, and was all the more excellent on a personal view as at the time it was released the band that I was playing in had decided to play this song. Awesome. This was then complemented by “Heaven Can Wait”, the brilliant crowd anthem that had been adapted from the Somewhere in Time album into a sing along chorus that also eventually made it into the song list of the band I was in.
This is the epitome of a great single. Three great songs, on this occasion all live versions, at a time that no other live recorded version exited of them. Made it all the more worthwhile to plonk down my hard earned to buy it.
Rating: A brilliant example of a great 12” single. 5/5
