Description
YOU ARE NOT SEEING THINGS BELIEVE ME!!! THIS IS WHAT YOU MAIDEN FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FROM 1979 AND IS ONE OF THE 5000 COPIES ISSUED ON THE FIRST RUN.
THIS IS NOT A REPRESS. I FIND IT AMUSING THE NUMBER OF COPIES THAT ARE LISTED ON EBAY THAT PURPORT TO BE ORIGINAL. IF THIS WERE THE CASE THEN THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 50000 ORIGINALS RATHER THAN 5000!!
THIS IS ORIGINAL BECAUSE OF THE WRITING BETWEEN THE PLAYOUT GROOVES. ON SIDE 1 IT READS:
*EG*, SA, LYN 7627 - IT ( FAINT ), ROK - 1 - A
ON SIDE 2 IT READS:
ROK - 1 - B, LYN 7628 - IT ( FAINT ), *EG*, SA
IT COMES IN A HARD CARD PICTURE SLEEVE WITH THE OPENING AT THE TOP, WITH A CIRCLE THUMB CUT AT THE BACK FOR EASY REMOVAL OF THE 45.
TRACKS ON THIS SINGLE GO DOWN IN MAIDEN HISTORY.....
SIDE 1 IRON MAIDEN
SIDE 2 INVASION
PROWLER
THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS GOOD AND THE SLEEVE IS QUITE WORN WHICH YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A SINGLE THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 1979 TO BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED!! I WOULD BE NERVOUS IF THE SLEEVE AND VINYL WERE TOO PERFECT. YOU HOLD THE VINYL AND IT FEELS HEAVY AND SUBSTANTIAL, NOT CHEAP AND HORRIBLE. THE SLEEVE WHILST SLIGHTLY WORN JUST LOOKS AND FEELS GREAT. IT TAKES ME BACK 25 YEARS!!
I AM A HUGE MAIDEN FAN, NOT A DEALER AND CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE MADE IT NECESSARY FOR ME TO SELL SOME OF MY RARER AND MORE COLLECTABLE ITEMS.
MAIDEN FANS WILL APPRECIATE THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS SINGLE IN THE HISTORY OF IRON MAIDEN AND ITS INCREASING RARITY IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICE.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING AND GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING.
MUCH RESPECT AND UP THE IRONS!
