  • "Sanctuary" is the second single released by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The single was released on 23 May 1980. The song was included in the US release of their debut album Iron Maiden but it was not included in the UK/European release. However, when the album was re-released in 1998 the song was added to the UK release. The cover art shows the band's mascot, Eddie having just murdered the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher. This image, though intended as a lighthearted play on her nickname as the "Iron Lady", managed to cause a minor stir in local newspapers (though this was nothing compared with the reaction to one of their future albums). On most copies of the original single, Thatcher's eyes were covered by a black box because the image was considered offensive. Copies without this box are extremely rare, however are not to be confused with The First Ten Years 12" rerelease, which no longer features the black box. When Derek Riggs was asked about the artwork during "The First Ten Years" documentary, he said that he'd originally drawn the cover featuring Eddie murdering another woman, inspired by the line in the song "I never killed a woman before but I know how it feels", but when he took the art to the band they asked him to change it to include Margaret Thatcher. Of the incident, he said, "they wanted me to make it look like Margaret Thatcher, because she was called the Iron Maiden, but I didn't even have a photograph of the woman!" He wound up having to contact Margaret Thatcher's Public Relations people, who then sent him a photo of her. "Sanctuary" was originally released in both 7" and 12" 45rpm vinyl formats. The 12" included Prowler as an extra song on the A-side. The b-side includes a live version of the song "Drifter" and a live version of Montrose's "I've Got the Fire", from their 1974 album Paper Money. "Drifter" includes the usual crowd interaction part where the audience is invited to follow the lead singer as he chants "Yo Yo Yo", parodying The Police song "Walking on the Moon" Both of the songs were recorded live at the Marquee Club in London on 3 April 1980. On "Sanctuary", the first guitar solo is played by Dennis Stratton followed by a guitar solo by Dave Murray. On both the live versions of "Drifter" and "I've Got the Fire", the first guitar solo is played by Murray while the second is played by Stratton. On live performances of the song, the band would always slip in the opening guitar riff of Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive" on the final portion of the instrumental section. In live versions, singer Bruce Dickinson will sing a long "Yeah!" after the first verse. An alternate recording of the song was featured on the NWOBHM Metal for Muthas compilation.
  • "Sanctuary" es el segundo single de la banda de heavy metal británica, Iron Maiden. El single fue lanzado el 23 de mayo de 1980. La canción estaba incluida en la edicion estadounidense del álbum Iron Maiden, pero no estaba incluida en la version europea del álbum. Sin embargo, en la reedición del álbum en 1998, la canción fue añadida a la edicion europea. En presentaciones en vivo de la canción, la banda siempre añade el riff inicial de guitarra de la canción Keep Yourself Alive de Queen en la parte final de la sección instrumental.
  • "Sanctuary" on Iron Maidenin toinen single, jonka b-puolina olivat "Drifter", joka päätyi Killers -levylle, sekä "I've Got The Fire". Se julkaistiin 23. toukokuuta 1980, ja se ylsi listan sijalle 29. Kappale on Iron Maiden -albumilta. "Sanctuary"-kappaleen ovat tehneet basisti Steve Harris, silloinen laulaja Paul Di'Anno sekä kitaristi Dave Murray, joka ei kovin useasti ole osallistunut Iron Maiden -kappaleiden kirjoittamiseen. Albumin kappaletta ei julkaistu yhtyeen esikoisalbumin Ison-Britannian versiossa, mutta se julkaistiin Yhdysvaltojen versiossa. Kappale julkaistiin kuitenkin albumin remasteroidussa versiossa. Kappale on kuultu lukuisissa konsertissa vuosien varrella.
  • Sanctuary è il titolo del secondo singolo degli Iron Maiden estratto dal loro debut-album omonimo, anche se nell'edizione europea questa canzone non è inclusa. Il disco venne pubblicato il 23 maggio, cioè un mese e mezzo dopo l'uscita dell'album, ma fece molto scalpore all'epoca per la copertina che raffigurava la mascotte della band, Eddie, con un coltello in mano e nell'istante successivo la morte di una donna con le sembianze dell'allora Primo Ministro inglese Margaret Thatcher. Lo scandalo fu tale che in certe edizioni (soprattutto quella tedesca) la copertina fu censurata e comparve una riga nera a coprire gli occhi della donna. Nel lato A della versione 12" è presente anche un brano in più, Prowler. Il lato B presenta invece due tracce dal vivo registrate al Marquee Club di Londra nella serata del 3 aprile.
  • Sanctuary is de tweede single afkomstig van het album "Iron Maiden" van de gelijknamige hardrock band. De single is uitgebracht op 23 mei 1980 en de hoogst behaalde plaats in de Engelse hitlijsten is 29.
  • Sanctuary é o segundo single da banda inglesa Iron Maiden. O single foi lançando originalmente em 23 de maio de 1980. A música foi incluida no primeiro álbum da banda somente nos EUA, já na Europa a música não estava incluida. A capa do single mostra o mascote da banda, Eddie assassinando a primeira-ministra da Inglaterra na época, Margaret Thatcher. A imagem acabou causando uma pequena agitação da midía local. Na maioria das cópias originais do single, Thatcher aparece com uma tarja preta nos olhos, porque a capa original (extremamente rara), foi considerada ofensiva. O single foi originalmente lançando em LP de 7" e 12". A versão 12" incluia uma faixa extra no lado A. O lado B inclui uma versão ao vivo da canção "Drifter" e uma versão também ao vivo da canção da banda de Ronnie Montrose "I've Got the Fire" do álbum de 1974, Paper Money. Em "Sanctuary", o primeiro solo de guitarra é tocado por Dennis Stratton, seguido de outro solo de Dave Murray. Nas versões ao vivo de "Drifter" e "I've Got The Fire", o primeiro solo é tocado por Murray, enquanto o segundo é tocado por Dennis Stratton.

  • Sanctuary är en låt av det brittiska heavy metalbandet Iron Maiden, släppt som singel den 23 maj 1980. Singeln släpptes till Iron Maidens första LP, Iron Maiden och var den andra singeln till albumet, efter "Running Free". Låten är tillsammas med Iron Maiden, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Wratchchild och Running Free de enda som har framförts live av alla de tre sångarna Paul Di'Anno, Bruce Dickinson och Blaze Bayley. Singeln skapade mycket uppåndelse i Storbritannien då den som omslag hade Iron Maidens maskot, Eddie, som knivskurit Storbritanniens dåvarande premiärminister Margret Thatcher. Hon kallades för Iron Maiden eller Iron Lady (Järnjungfrun) för sitt negativa förhållningsätt till det dåvarande Sovjetunionen. Låten inkluderades inte heller på första utgåvan av skivan i Storbritannien. Dock fanns med på omsläppet 1990.
  • Sanctuary Iron Maiden'ın ikinci single'ıdır. 23 Mayıs 1980 tarihinde piyasaya çıkmıştır. İngiltere listelerinde 29 numaraya kadar yükselmiştir. Şarkı grubun ilk albümünün ABD baskısında da yer alır ancak albümün Avrupa ve İngiltere baskılarında bulunmaz. 1998 yılında albümün İngiltere'de yapılan yeni baskısına şarkı eklenmiştir. Plak kapağında grubun maskotu Eddie dönemin İngiltere Başbakanı Margaret Thatcher'ı öldürürken görülür. Şarkının ilk gitar solosu Dennis Stratton, ikinci gitar solosu ise Dave Murray tarafından çalınmıştır. Plaktaki diğer şarkılar "Drifter" ve Montrose grubunun 1974 tarihli "I've Got the Fire" parçasının yorumudur. Her iki şarkı da grubun 3 Nisan 1980 günü Londra'da Marquee Club'da verdiği konserde kayddedilmiştir.
