Mashuptown, in conjunction with Attuworld, Get Your Bootleg On and Starting is Easy, recently released The Number of Da Boots: The Iron Maiden Bootleg Compilation. The mashup album obviously surrounds Iron Maiden’s catalogue, but does so by unsuspectingly mashing various tracks with the likes of Public Enemy, Bob Marley, Run DMC and Beyonce among many others. Contributing to the album are some of the best bootleggers currently producing tracks right now including Copycat, DJ Morgoth, The Illuminoids and Lobsterdust; this is most definitely an album that must be heard to be believed.
