Description

A rare opportunity to bid for a true rock rarity – only 5,000 copies of these were made – THE HOLY GRAIL for any Maiden fan. This is the 100% genuine article which has been in my posession since around 1988 when it was given to me as a birthday gift from a great lad who had actually roadied for the band in the old days. Maiden fans will need no introduction to this amazing disc, cut beforethey had even secured their record deal with EMI and featuring original vocalist Paul Dianno. The record bears all of the original etchings on both sides – this is not a re-press! Thedisc is in great condition and totallyplayable. This is the original red label version which was released independently on the Rock Hard Records label, a name coined by Maiden’s manager, Rod Smallwood, "If it ain't Rock Hard, it ain't worth a f***." Neal Kay, the infamous Soundhouse D.J., composed the sleeve notes. This record is in the original picture sleeve with pictures of the band on both sides with the blurb at the back. There is some slight creasing and colour grazing to the sleeve, but nothing too serious. The sleeve still looks great and still does it's job. The front of the sleeve has been signed by the band: Dennis Stratton, Dave Murray, Paul Dianno, Clive Burr and Steve Harris. Side 1: Iron Maiden • Side 2: Invasion, Prowler To confirm that this is genuine, here are the etchings on both sides of the vinyl SIDE 1: ROK-1A, *EG*, SA – THEN THE FAINT MARKINGS LYN 7627 - IT SIDE 2: ROK-1B, *EG*, SA – THEN THE FAINT MARKINGSLYN 7628 - IT. The Serial number on the printed label and sleeve reads: Rok.1 I’m prepared to open this auction up worldwide and shall despatch accordingly to the winning bidder. I’m looking only for serious bids and if I suspect any foul play while this auction is on-going, I shall remove the bid and report to the headmaster! All serious Maiden fans know what this item represents and it‘s value - No dreamers and no timewasters. Good luck and happy bidding for this totally genuine 28 year old piece of rock history – may the best Maiden fan win. UP THE IRONS!!!
