Rainmaker single out 24th November

EMI will release Rainmaker on Monday 24 November 2003 ahead of Iron Maiden's Dance of Death tour through the British Isles. The song was written by Dave Murray, Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson.

The release will appear in three formats:

• CD: Rainmaker; Dance of Death (Orchestral Version); More Tea Vicar
• DVD: Rainmaker promotional video in 5.1 and DTS; The Wicker Man and Children of the Damned live; video stills
• Coloured 7-inch vinyl: Rainmaker; Dance of Death (Orchestral Version)

Howard Greenhalgh directed the Rainmaker video at London's Roundhouse in September. More Tea Vicar is a studio jam recorded during the Dance of Death sessions, while the two live DVD tracks came from the 2002 Brixton shows fundraising for former drummer Clive Burr.
